Fun with Static Electricity! - A Prequel to "Should a Person Touch 200,000 Volts?"

Please Note: This was recorded before the onset of the current pandemic. That's why masks aren't being worn, people are closer than 6 feet and schools are actually in session. It was a simpler time...

    If anyone has a sense of history and they look at the publication date, they will ask "Why did they hold this during the middle of a pandemic?" The obvious answer - that it was held before the pandemic - won't be obvious to some. So, you post the clarifying comment to avoid needing to do something like this...

    How come the plastic pieces still repelled each other after putting the nail between them? The nail is a conductor and so are you so how come they didn’t lose their negative charge when you did that? Was the current too slow to discharge the static electricity?

  • @JeffersonLab

    @JeffersonLab

    11 ай бұрын

    The nail is a conductor, but the plastic isn't. Touching the nail to the plastic doesn't allow for the bulk of the charge to move to ground. If a charge happens to be somewhere other than where the nail is touching, it's difficult for it to move through the plastic to get to the nail. So, the plastic remains charged, even when the nail is placed between them.

    Yeah. There were some issues with the original footage that prevented us from using it for this. And it's also kind of a pain to record these things (lots of permission slips/release forms that we don't typically need to deal with, etc...). So... yeah. 10 years. Still a better pace than what they did with Star Wars. We have less CGI, though. Maybe we'll add some background creatures if we ever release a Special Edition.
