...move down the tube creating, in effect, an electric current. The electrical resistance that develops is overcome by the energy of the moving gas, and a collector electrode picks the positive ions off the fly ash at the end of the tube. The electrical circuit is completed when ions flow from the collector electrode, down a transmission line, and back to the corona discharge electrode where they began their trip...

Since Jan. 1, the U.S.'s gold stock has dropped by $100 million to a 28-year low of $13.7 billion, while France's bullion supply has increased by about $150 million.
