Hello static lovers! Feel free to ask your questions at ElectroBOOM subreddit: www.reddit.com/r/ElectroBOOM
FULL BRIJ REKTIFAYA, Thanks for the skillShare!!!
Pls pls can you make a vid about peltier it is such a cool and intriguing device. Pls
TY for skillshare, guess I found something to do over the break
@@waleedalmamari3933 that is this video all about .There is no way to discharge your self with being connected to the ground
These cordless anti-static bracelets are actually useful, they are used in various factories when it's too risky for workers to be constantly tied to earth. Usually there is small ground plane within the reach of a person, and You are supposed to touch the ground plane with this bracelet from time to time or before installing certain components that are static sensitive. I hope that @ElectroBOOM will do more research before posting similar video in the future.. It's very easy to make fun of something but much harder to admit of being wrong ;)
And the resistor is there to eliminate the 'zing' ;)
I've read that alpha-emitting radioactive materials (usually Polonium-210) are sometimes used to wirelessly dissipate static from materials in industrial environments. So maybe if you covered your body with a radioactive isotope you'd have a personal wireless anti-static solution?
I would try it out, but I think giving Iranians radio-active stuff is frowned upon!
Sounds Safe!
Where do you get radioactive polonium from? I doubt Electroboom has links to KGB.
Sounds like cancer
@@kitsura just criticise Putin and you'll get all of the polonium you need. 😁
By the clock on the left you can see:
1- He started the video around 11:15 AM
2- And finished around 3 PM
3- Total time: 3:45 Minutes Approximately
4- 3:45 / 7:58 = It takes him about 28.125 Minutes to make 1 minute of the video and this does NOT include editing time.
Thanks Dude.
He went to market to buy those bands.

i was shocked when I found out the bracelet didnt work.

This reminds me of a quote from bitwit's review of the verge pc build guide:
"That isn't a anti-static wristband, that is a live strong bracelet"
(In a Chinese accent of course)
He's not fighting static he fighting cancer
Haha, it was good times
"Jeez that was the wrong shop"
Words to live by.
What ? Don't dildoes dissipates electrostatic charges ?
I think you would still be able to find a spiked strap there, but the circumference might be a little too small for a wrist.
@@tomf3150 electrostatic dildo?
Tom Haflinger i wouldn't be so sure...
@@tomf3150 They are kinda pointy, aren't they? So, in theory, they should.
You see the first 'wireless' anti-static wrist straps came to be due to a miscommunication. You know how chinese sellers can be, english is not always their specialty.
It was just supposed to be an anti-static wrist strap supplied without the wire - for those who already have a wire to connect to you know.
They even included the resistor inside the strap, you just had to connect it.
But alas it was lost in translation... and now here we are.
That could be legit
It really sounds legit, like the many power banks that come without the batteries inside, only the outer body and the board.
I want to believe this is true simply because of Hanlon's razor.
@@eideticex Hey i know that one. Something someting stupid not malice

Whatcha his video on the oneTesla coil part two
those spikes often have urethane coating to keep them shiny, you really should confirm it indeed is bare metal that exposed
They're also not super sharp... Not sharpened at all.
in the beginning of the video I was thinking he was just going to buy a leather bracelet and put a bunch if nails through it (with the head of the nail towards the skin of course)
Canada has laws on how long and sharp wearables can be. So they could easily be made sharper than they were sold as.
I did measure their resistance and it is zero
@@ElectroBOOM Yup, that confirms that they're not coated. But I wonder whether a different, pointier design, with more spikes, might work?
Still, this test seems to disparage that .

@@tom_something Exactly! Totally worth a science experiment.
We should all try this experiment. For Science!!!

Perhaps this is how tinfoil hat works.
You should definitely try it, Liam.
The Verge apparently has a fully working cordless anti-static bracelet, as evidenced by their PC build video. If you ask nicely, they may let you borrow it.
Just searched and could only find people reacting to their ''2000 dollar gaming build'' that they deleted. You know what thats all about?
HAHAHHA NVM JUST FOUND IT.
Amin,
What's that about? 😊
@@MaximC He litteraly had a rubber wrist wrap, and called it an anti static bracelet haha. The whole video is a joke. Search ''The verge 2000 dollar PC build''
Amin,
I see. Yeah, what a joke, but I feel bad for the guy in the video, I think he suffers from some learning difficulties or something like that, and people were and are unnecessarily mean to him - not cool (I'm not talking about constructive critics). 😞
I think he only made this video as an excuse to buy a spiked choker ;)
no
Probably...who know
Mmmm kinky
Lol
he already got them befor starting the video... (look at the clock)
The Verge claims it works.
Just check their PC build guide that is a pure joy to watch.
Vn phai ko?
I was gonna comment that
omg their PC build guide is purest form of cancer
If by joy to watch you mean something that makes me want to remove my eyes and burn them, then yes!
Reminds me of when I worked on communication towers, we had a grounded rod we called the Jesus stick. After shutting down the power we would have to make sure the transformers were dissipated and when you touched a transformer you thought should be de-energized with the jesus stick and you got a loud pop and arc you were left saying Jesus!
@Bayonne Blasphemer So... it's an anti-Jesus stick?
Probably interpreted differently through out the industry.
Jesus stick, and Jesus nut for helicopters. In cars we install "save me Jesus" handles. Dude gets around.
Darron Black I thought it's a stick that dies to save you from the consequences of your own mistakes.
@@DarronBlack the Antichrist stick.
I love how the real ESD wristband and having bare feet (bear feet) worked exactly how it should. It's great to see when these things we've learned actually work in real life.
Yes, but you have to be careful using bare feet, i once pulled out my pc and turned it around afterwards, my fingers touched the psu outlet while reaching behind it and that gave me a big zap. Better to insulate yourself from the ground and use one of those wristbands instead to be safe. I have to admit I just hold the case once in a while to discharge myself, which doesn't prevent this either.
Now its confirmed, ElectroBOOM is hardcore fan of AC/DC
He is definitely into being Thunderstruck.
Well, DC at least . . .

"You're not fighting static, you're fighting cancer"
-Lyle to The Verge host.
Did you make sure the spikes were 100% metal and not coated with a material for example galvanised steel? If so grinding the coat away could change the outcome.
he probably checked them with a multimeter
But zinc is a metal, no?
galvanic coating is a deposited metal...DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Sorry I shouldn't of used galvanised steel as an example of a coating, something more like paint.
my first thought was chrome plating or even paint. i was actually thinking if maybe the type of metal used could effect the discharge. IE maybe it would work with a different metal.
You got it wrong, the aluminimum goes on the head lol
They may not be a good anti static dischargers, but they are good protection against mind readers.
@@darnit1944 yeah and it stops the government from sending subliminal microwave messages directly into your brain but only if used correctly, shiny side out stops the aliens from reading your mind and dull side out stops the government microwaves, lol.
Ground it with the chocker so you don't hear voices from your mouth
The mixture of his focus, determination and methodical work and his annoyed look while waiting for the next shock is pure comedy
That's actually really interesting. The idea that metal spikes would help was a reasonable hypothesis, so it wasn't immediately obvious to me if this would work or not. Great experiment, thanks!
In theory it seems that spikes of sufficient pointiness and longness should dissipate the charge, but in practice they might have to be much longer and pointier than what would be considered workable. I have no idea what the math would be on that.
Actually, it should work and I think a couple of designs use that in the aerospace industry. But it seems it just wasn't enough in this case.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_discharger
@@falahati oh, that makes a lot of sense for aircraft. You wouldn't want one getting all frictioned up to tens of thousands of volts and then touching down.
Also, if they didn't have some way to mitigate the charge, it would probably complicate mid-air refueling as well.
Now I'm curious about spacecraft in orbit.
@@tom_something Well it is super practical in their case too, aircraft moves very fast through the air and it helps a lot with dissipating static charges from the pointy needle at the edge of the wing. About space crafts read here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_contactor

Aren’t Garbage and Junk the same thing.
Exactly!
@Poo Ninja There´s always a teacher around :D
r/woosh?
One man’s garbage is another’s junk.
Junk is something that you don't need now but may need in the future, so you store it in your garage until it's overflowing and can't park the car inside.
I often get shocked around the office, so I started keeping either a rivet or metal coffee mug on my desk (isolated). Whenever I get up from my desk, I pick up the coffee mug or rivet without getting shocked, and touch that to a grounded surface. Sort of works like a wireless bracelet, but you have to manually ground yourself frequently. Also, with the rivet, if the build up is strong enough, I can still feel the discharge, but the mug seems to do the trick 100%.
My old Mazda Protege had a spot to touch to discharge static next to the door lock. I've never seen that on another car. Of course, I never used it, and when I got new tires I'd get zapped getting out of the car.
Just hold your key firmly and touch the door after you get out. The larger surface area will dissipate the charge painlessly even when you see the spark between the key and the door. Oh wait, I've got keyless ignition. Hmmm.
@@MichaelSteeves Weird flex but okay.
YAY YOU SURVIVED TILL YOU REACHED 2 mil. subs. CHEERS
Nice I always wanted to try that :) a quick remark the obly way to discharge your bidy through spikes is via partial discharge. A single partial discharge from a spike in air ( corona discharge) will have around 10 pc and you will have around hundrets of these disscharges per second ( depending on the voltage). As your capacitance againt gbd should only be a few nF, it should have a sign. Effekt. These spikes howerver are not pointy enough. When we prepare needles for coronadisscharge experiments in the lab we usually chem. Edge needles down to 10 um tip radius. If schould plan to rrpeat this i would suugest a self made braclet with four syringe tips, those are usually as pointy as it gets....
2 things. 1) I would have loved to seen the look on the sales person when you walked into the store. 2) Just what and the HELL did your wife say when you walked in with those?? Loved the video as always PEACE:)
She probably didn't say anything but what was she thinking lol
For number 2 - "Geez - and i wanted to surprise him with those"
Thats probably why he had to make this video to keep his fantasy's a secret. lol
I mean, the guy shocks himself repeatedly on video for other people's enjoyment. I don't think the spiked collar is a big step up from that.
I always look forward to yout videos. I am wondering what you will upload for the 2M subscriber special.
0:19 Mi band 2
Just an idea, what if you used a diode and capacitor to draw the charge away from your body? You could possibly go further and have a small incandescent bulb on it that would use the energy by converting it to heat and light.
Except both sides of the capacitor/light will be charged the same. You need to ground one of the leads somehow.
FYI you actually don't want to ground the ground strap.
You want to connect it to the board you are working on so you have the same electrical potential.
For example when working on a computer motherboard you want to connect it on a metal part on your case (or a ground point like a screw hole, if not in a case).
It is the difference in electrical potential that makes high voltage (and current). Not by magically connecting to ground.
Edit: great video as usual. Keep up the great work 👍
(sidenote: It is true if you have your board connected to ground that then you connect the ground strap to ground, but then it is the same as what I wrote above)
But then havent you only potentially dumped a bunch of static in to what you are working on? Sure you may then be at the same potential, but there is still a charge built up there which has no where to go.
I mean, surely decades of electronics industry cant be wrong when they connect their static straps to ground?
right, if you start with a charge and touch your board, you're going to discharge into your board. there's nothing magical about ground, it can be any large piece of metal that your static charge can redistribute itself into.
@@matthollandsf the board can also be charged (but not as likely as you being charged). So if you are grounded and you touch your charged board, then it the same if you are charged. That is why I wrote, that you have to have the same electrical potential as the board. Otherwise you induce a electrical voltage (and current BY LAW, [ohms law]).
If you have a anti-static mat, then connect your armband and your mat to common grounding point.
That was the way I was tough when building/repairing computers.
this is starting to feel like a chicken and egg problem. you have to assume your body is charged before you start, then you can decide whether its safer to discharge to something that isn't your board, or to discharge to your board, possibly damaging it. if the board is getting its own static charge somehow i would see that as a separate issue to be handled in its design/use.
I second that. You should discharge to the environment ground. If you have a big charge on you, and only connect the bracelet to the mat and put the board on the mat, you’re doing exactly the same as touching it directly.
Why did you remove the critic part I loved it

Does that mean the resistor in the corded band is a *"pull-down"* ?
or up, depending on the polarity of the charge

A few weeks ago I was in an exhibition and the floor was all covered with carpet. Even with my ESD safety boots on, I got shocked a lot of times touching metal structures connected to ground. Shouldn't the boots prevent me from this effect?
well if it can't dissipate on the floor your shoes won't make much of a difference.
@@whyshouldipickaname right, but the boots should protect my feet to get charged from the carpet, because I wasn't touching it with nothing but my boots.
@@pedromms8908 for what I know ESD boots are designed to make contact with the floor with a series resistance in the Mohm range. This prevents your body from building up charge as it constantly dissipates it to earth. But if the floor is carpet they do the opposite, they make it easier for your body to pick up charge by rubbing against the carpet
why would shoes prevent the rest of your body from carrying charge?
You're body hair also acts as tiny spikes and better conductors than Spike bracelet that's what you still felt shock after wearing the Spike bracelet

I don't know anything about electricity, but couldn't you make a wireless one if there was some kind of device that absorbed and stored the static energy? Like a battery or a capacitor, maybe a miniature Leyden jar?
Henry Chavez
A leyden jar is basically a capacitor,even if you make a rc series that connects you can only use potential difference to store charge (you need some kind of emf) and even if you could
They wouldn’t even exceed a few microfarads so hardly any charge would be stored

@@cryodoctor8857 yes
how to avoid static discharge (when opening a door or before touching bare metal): touch a painted door surface or something similar which has a great surface area. resistive discharge occurs, preventing immediate discharge which would cause a painful arc. in my experience, coated metal will not provide a resistive discharge, a painted metal object with a large surface area usually does though.
I really love how it's either trash or worse trash
Saving our wallets, one zap at a time, such sacrifice! I actually twitched as well each time you started charging :D

What are you doing leon? Losing your men doesn't mean you can get drunk and go to TH-cam. You have a world to save.
OUCH. Static shock is freaking painful. Thank you for this video .ahahah.
I built an anti static bracelet once with a capacitor and a neon bulb.
The bracelet would conduct static electricity into the capacitor.
When the capacitor reached it's voltage, the neon bulb in parallel circuit would trigger and turn on using up the static electricity, and removing it from my body.
Depending on how much static electricity is available, depends on how fast the neon bulb turns on and off.
I thought about creating a similar device that I could implement on a some type of storage box to store sensitive electronic equipment inside and protect it from static electricity.
Theoretically you can also build an anti-magnetic housing the same way using copper wire windings, capacitor and a neon bulb.
It would be especially good for storing magnetic disc hard drives.
Forgot to mention, there was a diode in there somewhere.
I have a cordless static bracelet. It’s called a humidifier
keco185 This and air ionizer make the air more conductive so that charges dissipate better. When I don't want sust to stick to something I'm working on, for example a LCD screen that I have removed the front panel from and I don't want to close it only to find out there's dust right in the middle of the picture, I use both. But if it's really sensitive or expensive, I use wired bracelet as well, and if not, I just grab the ground of the circuit first so it's at the same potential as I am.
Yup, I live in a humidor (the state of Tennessee). Pretty much static-free.
