One follow-up to it was conducted by Picard and Stahel using a balloon and Miller conducted a series of experiments to test for seasonal variations in the result. Another experiment which developed on it attempted to observe the orientation of a charged parallel-plate capacitor. One component in its setup was placed on a piece of marble which was rotated in mercury, to allow a type of wind to have a symmetric effect on its outcome. A device invented by one of its namesakes showed no interference patterns. For 10 points, identify this experiment which disproved the theory of the luminiferous aether, and was performed by its two namesake Americans.
