The harm of static electricity in the home, consider the examples

So, in the previous articles we are introduced to the theory of such an interesting and still little-studied phenomenon of static electricity. And many of you are probably thinking, yeah, it's certainly interesting, but it does not concern me, I do not work in such conditions. And here and there. I'll tell you that virtually every one of us with you several times a day, faced with the phenomenon of static.

This article will discuss the most common cases of the formation of static in the home, and will also be made public, how to fight it. So there you go.

The magnetic attraction (repulsion)

Spend an elementary experiment: take the brush and rub it on your hair, then bring to a small pieces of paper previously Narwhal (such experiments are still at school before performed). You will see that piece of paper will be attracted to the comb.

You may say, so what? But what if you make dust cleaning in her house (room) with a dry cloth, then things that you rubbed, formed a static charge, if the aforesaid vacuum will attract to yourself dust particles.

Therefore, if you want to get rid of the dust on a longer or shorter time, the wet cleaning - our all.

Fire safety

Of course, the likelihood that due to static spark discharge you light up a wooden chair or table is infinitely small, but with fluids such as thinner, benzene, etc.. (Which can be found in either a garage or shed), things are quite different.

For example, if you are in a closed and very poorly ventilated garage, wearing synthetics and have shoes with rubber soles start pour or make any manipulation with flammable liquids, it emerged spark can do a lot ills.

Exacerbate this situation can use plastic containers for flammable liquids. Think about the gas station, where you flatly refuse to fill fuel in plastic containers (unfortunately, there are exceptions).

So, upon contact of the combustible fluid and plastic cans also accumulate static charges which trite nowhere to go (and through it to the metal flowing into the ground). But since such pour "charged liquid", e.g., in a metal canister or tank car, between the fluid and the earthed element can slip spark. Where will this lead, I think talking is not necessary.

To avoid these things, follow these rules:

Work with flammable liquids only in well ventilated areas (not to create dangerous concentrations of the vapors), do not use plastic containers for flammable substances. After all, life is the most expensive, is not it?

Defeat static discharge

It would seem that such a discharge is completely safe and will not cause you any harm, except for a slight shock and involuntary muscle contraction, and if at this point you have worked or held any tool, there is a likelihood of injury.

Often, we are with you are carriers of charge (when we were wearing non-conductive shoes), and it can save up so that if some time was near the operating mechanism with a sufficiently powerful electric field, if we go in the shoes of a synthetic carpet, out of the car, dressed in a synthetic clothes.

conclusion

Of course, many factors of static charge can be removed from your life, for example, when leaving the car to hold on to any metal part in the car. But to get rid completely still will not work. Therefore, about the existence of statics need to know and remember. The laws of physics work equally for everyone and their ignorance is not an excuse light discharge static charge!
