Prevention of the Smoke Nuisance by Electricity
A Railways and Engineering Review note discusses using static electricity to dissipate smoke. Professor Oliver Lodge showed smoke and dust can be precipitated inside a chimney, and a German patent uses incandescent wires along chimney interiors. The method may fully burn smoke but is costly, needing a separate dynamo per chimney, or shared during intermittent firings, with potential auto regulation to address overheating.
