Does anyone know the best way to produce a static charge so i go round poking my family and friends and give them a static shock becuase i am running out of funny things to do when i bored and i am stomped on how i can produce one.

Static electricity...try rubbing something like paper towel quite hard against your finger, it should give it a charge...but why would you want to do that? Sounds quite lame :lol:

If you have a trampoline outside rub your whole body on that.

LIE NAKED AND RUB

 

 

 

Anyway, yeah trampolines and carpets are pretty good I think.

Damn you, terrorist!

Get one of the spark maker things from light switches =P~

Shag carpet and wool socks. ;)

If you've got a plastic slide, then going down that sometimes works. If I remember correctly, wearing nylon tracksuits help get you charged up.

*Sigh*...Isn't this common knowledge from age 5?

 

 

 

Rub your feet on carpet. Simple.

Precisely.

 

 

 

That or use a tesla coil, but I doubt you have one of those around.

Anything Nylon - rub against you.

I just did that, and nothing happened :-w

Sit down on a chair(school chair=plastic type..) rub your but on it back and forth about 5 times, stand up touch soemthing metal(95% of the time will work, or touch some1 and it'll work about 75% of the time)

I don't know about you guys, but when I look at myself in the mirror, it's enough to send shockwaves through the street.

Lately I seem to be getting static shock every time I get out of a car and close the door. As soon as i put my finger tips on the door, I get a lovely zap. :(

Chances are, where you live it's less humid than usual. When you move around on the car seats you build up a static charge, then you touch metal to close the door and the static charge is trasferred from you to the door. It's a good idea to touch something metal before fueling your car as well to reduce the risk of a static charge igniting the fuel.

Or use balloons.

I think you mean a tazer... or taser.... and I also think those are illegal in several areas (at least in America)

what would the neighbors thing?

 

 

 

get a big fuzzy seat and rub your butt on it for a few minutes, that usually works

I think you start with saying "kamehameha" first...

I know I'm going a bit off-topic, but a couple of years ago I was randomly getting such static shocks when touching some things, like metallic beds, cars, TV's, some doorknobs, soccer goals, and even once when I touched another guy's elbow. This all lasted for around 2 weeks, and I was starting to fear everything electronic or metallic. :uhh: However, I have no idea what might have caused it.
