Re: Strange ! This is shocking !
That static electricity can be interesting.
I’ve seen 6 inch long sparks jump from my gloved finger to a metal pin on more than one occasion. We wore rubber overall boots that helped create static as we walked. If you reached for a metal pin you’d get zapped. Normal thing to do would be contact the pin base first with your boot toe. Buy sometimes you’d forget and get the blue zapper. That’s an eye opener.
We had a guy try to put out a small fire on some insulation once. Used a dry-chemical extinguisher. Cement floor. Wearing fire retardant coveralls too. The zap knocked him on his butt.
Static can be puzzling and fascinating at the same time.
