A Warning About Electrostatic Discharge.....

[Cyclone03]

We have an "I hurt myself" thread around here some where.....

I have to wear one of those ESD wrist bands at work about 2 time a week but it's never that fun.

We also had a guy in the shop that thought it was fun to charge up ALL the capaciters in the stock drawer and repackage them for fun.

Worked great until the EMT's came in to transport one of the older shop workers out,Ben didn't die but the joke wasn't that funny anymore.

As for the video that was great!

We had grounded wrist bands we had to wear when working on some of our instrumentation. Now I just get zapped!

Wouldn't you have thought this guy would have reshot the video WITHOUT the mistakes before he put it out on the Interwebs?

Funny video. I want one of those.

I remember charging a capacitor from a points ignition or an HEI, they throwing it to someone. Try catching one without touching the tip of the wire.

Every time I come in the room I have a ground I touch so I dont fry a computer. Got used to doing it on airplanes because I didnt want to blow up during refueling. Having dogs in winter makes it a bit more challenging. Always zapping something.
