Speaking of winter, how to deal with static electricity and digital gadgets?

Winter is the season of static electricity. The words sound gentle, but they sometimes generate voltages as high as 10,000 volts or more, so if you inadvertently send out that unpleasant squeal running through your fingertips. The reason why such static electricity problems are concentrated in winter is related to dry air. When the humidity drops, the amount of water in the air decreases, the amount of water adsorbed on the surface of the material decreases, and when the electrical conductivity decreases, the static electricity generated in the material becomes difficult to disperse and is recognized as "static electricity". Although static electricity is generated throughout the year, it tends to stay in the human body in winter when the humidity is low.

Gadget's natural enemy "static electricity" How can I remove it? Static electricity can be discharged not only through moisture in the air, but also through conductive materials. Digital gadgets are no exception, and high voltages can damage electronic components such as ICs. To avoid unexpected failures, take measures against static electricity in winter. To remove static electricity, stick-on type "static electricity removal sheet" is effective. Conductive material is used, and if you touch it, the static electricity accumulated around the human body will be discharged through your fingertip (must be attached to a metal surface). The basic mechanism is the same as the anti-static sheets you see at self-service gas stations. There are many other "anti-static goods", but there is a simpler method. After washing your hands and increasing the humidity, it is OK if you firmly touch a wooden product such as a table or concrete. These materials have the property of “slowly releasing” static electricity, so you can release static electricity from your body without being surprised.
