You ought to take static electricity seriously, right kind of clothing is essential.

They should invent a device that builds up static in your shoes, stores the energy and then you can recharge your phone/laptop from it

do you reckon you could charge a capacitor with static electricity ? and then use it to power something ?

Possibly a battery, I'm not really sure... the voltage would be really high, but very low current.

I know some people here dont watch much t.v but, on Brainiac Science abuse, on sky one, they once charged a guy up with static (He was wearing a nylon jacket) He danced around a bit to work up a good bit of charge. Then he touched a fuse wire that had been pre rigged to a caravan and blew it sky high!

Always wondered if it was real.....
