Re: I have heard a Thing about sprays around CD's and CDPs also!

In my last post I described the Magnetic effect happening with wires and carpets. So I think there might be a small magnetic feild happening that is having an effect and with the lifters you are dramaticly reducing the Magnetic effect. That makes sense to why they work!

Not sure what you're meaning by magnetic effect. A static charge doesn't produce a magnetic field if that's what you're getting at. The magnetic moments of the electrons are random.

Friction causes Static electricity,so you can create the feild so that means a rug can conduct.

That the rug can become charged doesn't mean that the rug can conduct (and in fact it doesn't conduct to any degree because carpets are made of insulating materials).

Conduction isn't a requirement for acquiring a static charge. The best insulators in the world such as Teflon will readily acquire a static charge.

With insulating materials, static charge is a surface phenomenon and remains localized and doesn't spread out across the surface of the material or dissipate within the volume of the material. At least not to any degree.

With conductors however, the charge dissipates throughout the volume of the conductor.

Things like that intrest me especially when I get a shock.Seems to get my attention.OucH!

Hehehe. Why am I having visions of Jack Nicholson in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest. :)
