I thought what the (OP) was talking about was regular static
electricity type discharge " triboelectric charging "
What you are referring to Jeff Sounds pretty wild !!!
---------------------
The triboelectric effect (also known as 'triboelectric charging') is a type of contact electrification in which certain materials become electrically charged after they come into contact with another different material and are then separated (such as through rubbing). The polarity and strength of the charges produced differ according to the materials, surface roughness, temperature, strain, and other properties.
The following materials will tend to give up electrons when brought in contact with other materials. They are listed from those with the greatest tendency to give electrons to those that barely give up electrons
Most Positive ( )
Air
Human Hands, Dry Skin
Asbestos
Rabbit Fur
Glass
Human Hair
Mica
Nylon
Wool
Lead
Cat Fur
Silk
Aluminum
Paper
- - -
Cotton Are Both Neutral
Steel -
- - -
Wood is almost Neutral
Lucite
Sealing Wax
Amber
Rubber Balloon
Hard Rubber
Mylar
Nickel
Copper
Silver
uv Resist
Brass
Synthetic Rubber
Gold, Platinum
Sulfur
Acetate, Rayon
Polyester
Celluloid
Polystyrene
Orlon, Acrylic
Cellophane Tape
Polyvinylidene chloride (Saran)
Polyurethane
Polyethylene
Polypropylene
Polyvinylchloride (Vinyl)
Kel-F (PCTFE)
Silicon
Teflon
Silicone Rubber
Most Negative (-)
-----------------------------
The best combinations of materials to create static electricity would be one from the positive charge list and one from the negative charge list.
