Professor Says
Flowers Create
Electric Current
Even a lowly flower can gen
erate an electrical current, accord
ing to Albert L. Ragsdale, physics
instructor.
"Actual tests have shown that
the Venus flytrap gives off a
minute amount of electricity when
it closes its petals and catches in
sects. This may seem unbeliev
able to niany persons, but it is an
established fact in bio-physics."
Eve-n though the current is in
consequential in strength, it can
definitely be measured. Standard
equipmlent will not record such a
small flow, but a special arrange
inent enables a person to see that
a type of circuit is in operation.
A detector using a radio tube as its
main part is the only means of
shbowing the interesting peculiari
ties of the flower that eats insects.
Enclosed completely in the
flowver after it brings its petals to
gether, the insect is imprisoned
and has no means of escape. It isl
during the closing of the petals
that the tiny electromotive force
is created, Ragsdale declared.
