what is a antistatic wrist band?

Some people have too much static in their bodies so when they are using their computer they wipe out the hard drive from the static in their bodies. So, there is a wrist band that these people can put on that will balance the static in their body so that it does not affect their computers.

Static electricity is a class of phenomena involving objects with a net charge; typically referring to charged objects with voltages of sufficient magnitude to produce visible attraction, repulsion, and electrical sparks.\n\nStatic electricity can be a serious nuisance in the processing of analog recording media, because it can attract dust to sensitive materials. In the case of photography, dust accumulating on lenses and photographic plates degrades the resulting picture. Dust also permanently damages vinyl records because it can be embedded into the grooves as the stylus passes over. In both cases, several approaches exist to combat such dust deposition. Some brushes, particularly those with carbon fiber bristles, are advertised as possessing anti-static properties. Also available are handheld static guns which shoot streams of ions to discharge static on records and lenses.\n\nNote that the presence of electric current does not detract from the electrostatic forces nor from the sparking, from the corona discharge, or other phenomena. Both phenomena can exist simultaneously in the same system.\n\nStatic electricity is an important element in the biological process of pollination by bees, since the charge on a bee's body helps to attract and hold pollen.

The wrist bands actually have an elastic loop attached to them.  This is the important part.  The refs place the bands around their fingers to keep track of the downs.  Also, the umpire, the guy behind the linebackers, will use the band to remember the previous spot of the the ball.  For example, pinky finger= left hash, ring finger=left goal post, middle finger= middle of field, etc.

Wrists are most important.

Automatic quartz is a collective term describing watch movements that combine a self-winding rotor mechanism used in "automatic" mechanical watches to generate electricity with a piezoelectric quartz crystal as its timing element.\n\nA rotating pendulum inside the case is attached to a relatively large gear which meshes with a very small pinion. As the wearer moves, the pendulum turns and spins the pinion at a very high speed - up to 100,000 rpm. This is coupled to a miniature electrical generator which charges three of four small capacitors. If the watch is left unused the capacitors can store enough charge to power the watch for longer periods, usually at least one month, six months for most models. Charge from the capacitor drives a conventional quartz watch mechanism accurate to 1-2 seconds per week.

probably a ganglion.  i have one on my left wrist and it's just like what you described.

You are fitted with a radio transmitter that broadcasts a signal to a device that is attached to your phone (commonly referred to as an ankle bracelet). If you stray too far from that phone unit, you hear an audible tone which warns you that you are too far away. The phone unit will randomly access the signal from your ankle bracelet so you never know when you are being monitored. Your parole or probation officer can program the unit on the phone to detect your ankle bracelet for certain hours of the day if you are allowed to go to work, or 24 hours a day, if you are confined to your home permanently. If you are on the phone when the unit attempts to receive a signal from the ankle bracelet, you will get a tone on the phone, warning you to hang up. Making attempts to free yourself from the bracelet will usually get you charged with Escape, another crime in addition to the one that got you home detention in the first place. I think that about covers it...

The alpha particles have a positive charge. A magnet  would deflect them away from the others.

You don't. That is a scam. Wear the bracelet if you like the way it looks, but it won't do anything for your health.

Are you talking about a harness strap? It goes around you and all and stuff. Google that if you want for more information.

Get wrist braces and/or a wrist support.  Sit properly at your desk.  Supposedly St. John's Wort helps, but I don't know if that's valid or not.  If it gets too horrible, there's surgery, but I'm sure that's not fun.

When working in direct contact with integrated circuit electronics (especially delicate MOSFETs), or in the presence of flammable gas, care must be taken to avoid accumulating and discharging a static charge.\n\nNote that the presence of electric current does not detract from the electrostatic forces nor from the sparking, from the corona discharge, or other phenomena. Both phenomena can exist simultaneously in the same system.

It should say on the shaft band, just below the grip.
