There are many ways to do this; perhaps the easiest is to scuff your rubber-soled shoes across a carpet. (Works best on a cold day with low humidity.) This will give you an electrostatic charge, which you can throw as a spark at any grounded object (such as a faucet or one of the screws that holds the cover on a light switch). You can hold a metal object in your hand to throw the spark if you find the slight shock to be annoying. If you want a lot of static electricity, build yourself a van de Graaff generator; the instructions for that are too long to include here, but you can look it up.

You can create static electricity by rubbing a good insulator with a cloth. Sometimes just walking over a carpet will do it. However, if the air is humid, the static electricity dissipates very quickly. There are static electricity generators you can make or buy; one is called the Van de Graf generator.

Get an Edmund Scientific catalog; I believe they sell them.

I am not seeing the phenomena as static electricity.It's not an electron phenomena.You could do a paper search on static electricity.

You can't create it artificially. You can only create it naturally. Any time you create static electricity, you are creating it naturally.
