    Hi Daisy, great video. We have a maker centre in our local town. We installed a huge dust extraction system big enough for the whole workshop. I was recently using the thicknesser when an elderly gentleman came over to assist. He's bald, which is important for this story! He was on the other side of the thicknesser retrieving the timber after each pass. All of a sudden I saw a spark get him from the extraction pipe. Without exaggeration it must have been around two inches long. It made an impressive "crack" as it discharged into his head! He was convinced I'd hit him!!! Moral of the story, good job earthing your system. We need to do the same. *Side not, upon researching I found it wise to be cautious with a dust extraction unit inside your workshop. The dust that escapes your filter is generally sub 5 micron. It atomises into the air. This is the nasty size for human lungs. I like to think of dust extraction as a cleaning aid, but still wear a respirator for self protection.

    Daisy. You nailed the static problem. Remember if you were to hit a nail while running vacuum ,the hot metal could end up in your dust bag and smolder for a long time before catching fire After you've left your shop. You usually know when you've hit a nail(or other metal) just open your dust bag and spread out the dust etc to prevent smoldering. This tip could save you a major fire. Stay well. You are the best

    You should turn the Y connector from the thicknesser around, it will be far more efficient. Think of the piping in terms of flowing water, if the extractor is at the bottom of the hill and you want the water to flow to it effortlessly, then that backwards Y bend is a trap.

    Good work on the install of the dust extraction. Just FYI - the "grounding" is really unnecessary since pvc is an insulator, so you are only removing static from the area the wire immediately touches, it's still present on/in the rest of the pipe. Additionally, a wire on the outside only removes static from the outside of the pipe, not the inside and vice - versa. Furthermore, a dust explosion requires very specific circumstances, including a particular particle size and volume, and a small shop cannot reproduce those conditions. And a spark from static discharge is not energetic enough to ignite the dust even if you did somehow manage to generate the large volume required. It is a persistent myth that won't die because of social media; in fact, there has never been a documented case of a dust explosion in a small shop due to static. Regardless, it's great that you have a proper dust extraction setop because that is not good for your lungs. Enjoying your videos, keep up the good work.

    I received a massive static shock from a machine that had been connected to ancient extractor using dryer hose! It fried nerves in my hand in their own fat according to the specialist. The charge went up my right arm to my neck and down the side of my body. After about 8 years of coping by being given stronger and stronger painkillers until I could be given no more I had to retire from Technical teaching...so yes this happened in a school workshop. Ultimately I got, eventually, a medical retirement but life has gone downhill since as a direct result of my accident. The medical profession had great difficulty working out what to do.

    Sweetest explaination of electric charging, I have ever seen.☺ Important question: DID YOU CHECK YOUR WIRING, by MESSURING the ground impedance? If not, you will not know for sure, if it works properly. It is correct, that the probability of a wood dust explosion in the tube is very low. Chances are much higher of getting shocked by a charged plastic tube, than to have a dust explosion. Plastics are highly chargable. However, things change completely, when the dust includes metal dust. This is where things can get very dangerous, because metal dust from crafting processes is mostly super hot and your dust extraction might go up in flames (not explode). That is why you should allways keep these kinds of workplaces and their exhausts seperated from each other.

    little tip: don't use those screw-on clamps for the wire... with a vibration heavy environment those can easily get of that mashed wire... from another video I know you have a solder iron -> that would be preferable regarding the science: almost completely right, just a little addition that not only the electrons form up and build a negative area, also the protons that are now missing an electron are charged (positively), so both the PVC pipes as well as the saw dust (if very dry) will be electro statically charged. but: 100% cool that you even think about that stuff... at lot of work shops I know in my area do either not really have dust collection or if so, no proper grounding^^

    Yeah, some atoms have an extra electron called a valence electron. It's this electron that can get moved about from one atom top another and build up a charge. Generally nature doesn't like things unbalanced, so those electrons will travel to anywhere there aren't electrons. What you are doing with your set up is a wise move. Static electricity does build up anywhere there is friction. People who put computers together usually wear a grounding cable. When it comes to safety, and I've worked a few high risk environments (just workshops, industrial sites) I was told to think of consequences rather than likelyhoods. Dust explosions can get really gnarly. As always, enjoying the content.

    Hi 👋, Very interesting, back when you were just a atom in the universe, that was before the big spark, I had some colleagues that had a very large workshop. Where are the dust extractor who is outside the building, luckily for them. As one day there was a fight inside the pipe electrons, atoms molecules all decided to accumulate. And they had a meeting outside BOOM 💥, blew the dust extractor apart, and caught on fire, get the Fire Brigade get the Fire Brigade, luckily they managed to put it out. Even dust floating around in your workshop could explode if you have a bad ignition on something it will ignite and blow your doors and walls out., Something that a lot of people don’t think about is their polishing products , are use rag to apply them or paper towel. This can I have a chemical reaction, spontaneous combust., so just don’t throw your rags onto the ground but into a waste sealed container,, , put them into a metal container or even put them into a water bucket, not in a plastic bag or a plastic dust bin, There was a guy over 🇺🇸 that conducted an experiment, over the course of 24 hours, and 48 hours, he got plastic bags and plastic dustbins and set them up in a controlled area, he had used, paper, towels, rags, et cetera, and soak them in different types of polishing compounds, screw them up and drop them in plastic bags and in the plastic dustbins in the way that you were the last thing at night or last thing or Friday night, he used a infrared device to read the temperatures of the plastic bags, plastic containers and rags that were literally just piled up on the floor, he took readings of them half an hour an hour and so on and so on and I think within less than three hours phone member, rightly one of the bags started to catch on fire and ended up or even the plastic containers dustbins caught on fire and he had to drag me outside with a fire extinguisher., he done this experiment because one of his friends lost his workshop in a matter of a few hours after leaving work on a Friday night, I have had my specialist joinery business, best part of 40 years, and I would say nine times out of 10 that I will sweep up the last thing at night before going home. I’ll make sure everything is neat and tidy for clean and healthy start to the next day., even going round to the point of switching things off, making sure everything was isolated, I have seen you in the past, do some amazing work , stay safe, I hope this can be a help to somebody.

    Daisy, I think you are equating news stories about disastrous fires to the rate of incidence of dust fires and explosions. I think you will find a great many stories in the comments below. Your comment about the humidity being controlled etc. is true as far as it goes, it is the little bit of crud built up next to a fan impeller that friction heats up and then poof. I had a good teacher who did a demo on this. He had a gallon paint can and put a teaspoon of wood powder in it. For the demo he had a car spark plug in the side of the can. He hammered the lid shut tight. Tripped off the spark plug and the lid hit the ceiling leaving a dent and the can was bulged out at the sides. Quite impressive to say the least. So, can't be too careful.

Just planning oit my extraction, so probably read and watched a lot of the same things as you. I've decided that since the dust extractor i want is on wheels, im just going to move it as needed and use that flexi hose with the copper inside, also keeps lose of suction down, as using minimal pipe length and no junctions. I have a lung issue so have to be very careful with dust, will still probably wear my 3m versaflo as well. PS i also have a set of safe slipper that i work in.

    I won't deny your description of a neutron having both negative and positive charge made me cringe somewhat, but your right a dust explosion is a possibility although a very slight one in that situation. I started writing a very long explanation (I have a PhD in physics) but I'll truncate it to, if you ever suck up shavings and get fed up with them collecting on the wires remove them and just use a strip of aluminium tape over the outside to remove the charge, it'll work fine. You're not moving many electrons, your not trying to reduce the potential to 0 and the potential you'd need to generate a spark is high, if you were in a continuous very dusty atmosphere I'd suggest other solutions but for this it'll be fine. It's what I've done in my similar workshop :) On a related note, it's worth avoiding thinking of insulators and conductors when you're looking at high voltages, everything conducts, it's just how much... On the dust handling side, if you find you need more flow, try to minimise how much flexible pipe you use (the rough surface really kills air flow), try to increase the radius of your bends and if you can increase the size of your HEPA filter (and clean it occasionally). You can also heat those plastic pipes up and bend them a bit if you need to :)

    The first thing I did after setting up dust collection was to loop a drain wire down my pipes and ground it, if for the very least, it alleviated the extreme discomfort whenever I was vacuuming around the shop.

    Hi Daisy noticed you didn't have any windows in your workshop. Perhaps you should consider finding one with windows natural light or better ventilation. It's not good to spend a long time in a negative-pressure environment you need some positive pressure as well as ventilation. As a joiner who worked in industrial workshops a lot of hardwood dust is carcinogenic. make sure your extraction filters are adequate. best regards. john.

    Flex has quite a bit more flow resistance than the solid pipe. Better practice is to use the solid for as much of the drops as practical. The U turn off the thicknesser is a no no. Perhaps you are using a new physics but in my school days, before steam traction, neutrons were just neutral, hence the logical name. But your general information is well presented. Rutherford would have been happy. The question for this video is: what was Paganini's favourite recreational instrument?

    Another approach to keep the wire on the outside by installing wood screws through the plastic fittings and leaving the head proud with enough space to be able to wrap the wire around it and then on to the next screw head. This method allows for the directing of static charges to the outside of the tube and to be grounded without interfering with shavings and "cut-offs" that can get tangled up in the wire.

    I hope you're right! I did what you describe. I wrapped bare copper wire around my PVC, and attached it with sheet metal screws protruding into the pipes. I figured the pointy screws would drain enough charge. I hope the electrons understand what to do.

    Looks like as they said in big bang theory you 'grounded the crap out of this'. As an electrical engineer, you did what i would have done. Minus testing it with a grounding meter (but you probably don't have one of these). The weak link might be the connection to the ground lug. Check that periodically during your maintenance.

I heard all the stories and myths surrounding this so I wanted evidence. I found none. There are 100s if not 1000s of videos by woodworkers all over the world, again saying the same thing. The one story I did find was a woodworker grinding metal and using his DC. There was smoke coming from the system and it was caused by the sparks from grinding.

    I'm not an expert, but IMO if you're sanding or grinding steel, it can make sparks, so you want to do that way far away from _either_ sawdust _or_ the fast-moving air a dust extractor creates. Sanding nonferrous metals that can't make sparks isn't as bad, but it could still in theory create enough heat to start a fire/explosion.
