In addition to wrist straps, ankle and heel straps are used in industry to bleed away accumulated charge from a body. These devices are usually not tethered to earth ground, but instead incorporate high resistance in their construction, and work by dissipating electrical charge to special floor tiles. Such straps are used when workers need to be mobile in a work area and a grounding cable would get in the way. They are used particularly in an operating theatre, where oxygen or explosive anesthetic gases are used. [ citation needed] Hazards of Electricity and Static Electricity by BP Safety Group. Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2006. Covers the risks of sparks, explosions, flash, and blast hazards caused by static (and mainly aimed at the petroleum industry). even on a short one hour trip. So, to have experienced such immediate and dramatic results since using your Mizter

also called electric current), which is electricity that moves from one place to another along a definite Wrist straps designed for industrial use usually connect to ground connections built into the workplace, via either a standard 4mm plug or 10mm press stud, whereas straps designed for consumer use often have a crocodile clip for the ground connection. An antistatic device is any device that reduces, dampens, or otherwise inhibits electrostatic discharge, or ESD, which is the buildup or discharge of static electricity. [1] [2] ESD can damage electrical components such as computer hard drives, and even ignite flammable liquids and gases. If you have floor coverings made from synthetic fibers, you probably get a static charge every time you walk over them.

just like normal floor coverings, but they're made with a good proportion of electrically conducting carbon fibers dotted time I got in or out of my car. From the time I began using a Mizter antistatic strip under my car, I have not been bothered or experienced this problem.Photo: Anti-static plastic = fantastic! Here's one way that chemical additives can make plastics anti-static. In this case, the additive is made of polar molecules (ones with uneven electric charge, so they have positive and negative ends). 1) These molecules (shown here in red) migrate to the surface of the plastic with their negative ends pointing out. 2) Water in the atmosphere (H 2O, shown in blue) also has polar molecules, whose positive ends are attracted to the negative ends of the additive. 3) The moisture forms a thin, electrically conducting film that acts as an anti-static coating. Ionizing bars are most commonly suspended above a conveyor belt or other apparatus in a production line where the product can pass below it; the distance is usually calibrated for the specific application. [4] The bar works by emitting an ionized corona onto the products below it. [4] [8] If then a product on the line has a positive or negative static charge, as it passes through the ionized aura created by the bar, it will attract the correspondingly charged positive or negative ions and become electrically neutral.
