It was not unusual to find static buildup in the machine shop when ever one was wearing synthetic apparel and synthetic. rubber, or Foam soled shoes. also synthetic finishes on chair seats and backs while wearing the above clothing combinations,
I Personally have generated a spark that arced near 3/4 th inch. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" />
Thats about 7 KV, Quite a Jolt when I got up and reached to cut off the feed on the machine.
I really got a kick of shaking hands with the unwary. <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" />
One of the self styled jokers in the shop made a small shocker in a match box and wanted to get me good!! What a laugh! When I walked up he handed me two wires and started fooling with his toy!
Not bad ! It put out about 250 volt low current shock. Did'nt make me blink. So while the others around chewed him up good, I just decided to sit in one of those synthetic stools nearby and holding the wires I fidgited around squirming and rubbing my shirt back on the chair back!
Then I stood up, Wham, He jumped several feet, exclaiming, What The He** Was That! <img border="0" alt="[jumper]" title="" src="graemlins/jumper.gif" />
After repeating this several times, to the joy of many "looker on's", He Surrendered.
He never did figure what I did to him!
