Why do I generate so much static electricity?

Question

Hi everybody, I was wondering if anyone knew why I have more
static electricity than most people. I have to saturate my clothes with static guard in order to wear them. Even then, sometimes I have to re-spray during the day to keep them from clinging. My daughter, brother, and mother NEVER have to use static guard and I'm amazed since I can't wear my clothes without it. I don't shuffle my feet and my shoes are the same as theirs, so what could be the reason? Thanks for your replies.

Answer 1

Dryness is often a contributing factor -- you may need to start using (or use more) moisturizers, especially during the winter. Also, the fabric is a major source -- nylon (or polyester) pants against nylon stockings is a real great static generator. Natural fibers won't do it so much -- except for wool, which is WONDERFUL for static! Try turning the lights off at night and taking a wool sweater off with a polyester blouse underneath -- fireworks!!

That's a good idea, keep thinking like that and come up with something. Static is mostly caused from two objects moving and meeting, to create static would cost more than the electricity it created. But you are on the right tract. Keep thinking. The windmills in the desert was a great idea, except when you go out and watch them, the wind doesn't always blow the same direction, so many or most aren't even turning most of the time. Flowing water like rivers and even some oceans that have been severely damaged by stupid 'geniuses' building damns and huge concrete walls in the ocean, like in some major ports around America, will change nature. Our best chance for survival, in my opinion, is to use the wasted sun's power, like the solar power idea, but we should spend more money in NASA, to place solar panels in outer space, collecting the sun's energy, then sending it to multiple stations on earth, rather than putting the solar panels on our roof tops, that get only filtered energy, depending on night and day, clouds or no clouds, etc. We spent multi millions on the Hubble Telescope, and don't get me wrong, I love the pics I get from Nasa everyday, but why don't we do the same to get free electricity from God? Like we get water and air free from our creator. (I know we have to actually 'buy' good drinking water now, but that's because we have totally destroyed our water sources. It's our fault, not God's. Anyhow, just wanted to run a few ideas across a young smart person like you. Like I said, keep thinking, that's what made America what it is today, people like you thinking, and doing. Good luck.

That's shocking....I think you may be wearing a lot of Nylon and Rayon based clothing along with that you may have nylon carpets and so on in your home too..I would change to wearing more cotton and wool along with silk materials to lower the voltage a bit..

I disagree with Trademark. I think you have a magnetic personality.

Answer 5

You have an electric personality?
