Static electricity is simply an electric charge. Yes you can collect generate and use an electric charge to power things. What is generally referred to as static electricity is an electric charge that is developed as an incidentally.

Utilize some conductor between you and the grounding point. For example, hold a key (make sure you're touching the metal part!) and touch the key to the grounding point (door knob, etc.)\n\nThe static charge you have accumulated will flow through the key, and the arc will be produced between the key and the door knob. Since you are in contact with the key, the electrons will flow freely through you, and the energy causing the 'zap' will only be between the key & door knob. You will not feel a thing.\n\nTo reduce your tendancy to develop a static charge, walk barefoot, wear cotton clothing and increase the humidity level of your living environment.\n\nTo learn more about the principles of static electricity, check out these lectures offered by professor Lewin from MIT, click the link below...

something that would show the different properties of electricity. its easy to do, doesn't require a lot of time, and you can look up a million things relating to it on the internet

As you are building a computer, ESD sensitive parts can get damaged.  You can buy an ESD wrist strap and hook it to the AC outlets center screw (between the two plugs).  This will let the static electricity discharge through ground and not hurt your components.

its just static electricity as far as I know caused by friction such as when you rub a balloon on your head and your hair raises. Also our bodies are naturally full of electricity

Static electricity.  Just connect yourself to a ground and you'll be OK.

It is static electricity; probably your jersey i smade from made made fibers

A lot of static electricity in the air can cause "dry lightning".  I assume that is what happened.

Dry air plus synthetics equals static. There really isn't a cure. Try to wear cottons or use an anti-static such as static guard. They'll help some. \n\nTo avoid shocks from touching things, try to use a pencil, key, or other object to touch things first. It will drain off some of the charge and if there is a discharge, it won't be directly on your skin. If you are wearing rubber soled shoes, such as running shoes, don't scuff them on the carpet. This raises a ton of static.

make and working elctric circuit like a bell, r a bulb, u can Also explain working of an electromagnet using a model.\nu can also expain the capillarity concept

The human body can generate electrostatic discharge up to 30,000 volts.  (Take care when handling electrostatic sensitive equipment.)\n\nExamples:\nWalking across a carpet with leather shoes and low-humdity can raise the human body capacitance charge up to 25,000 volts.\n\nWalking across a linoeum floor can generate up to 5,000 volts.

You can certainly spray your car with anti-static spray, but you will have to do that quite often, as it disappears with the rain!\nGo to a car shop: you will find there "static rubber bands" that you attach to the bottom of your car (on metal!) and that lay down to touch the road.  This conducts static electricity to the ground as you stop, while floating just above the ground when you drive.\nTruck fuelling aircraft drag behind them a whole metal chain that keep them in contact with the ground to avoid any kind of sparkling discharge, but it is not practical for a car!

Static electricity can produce ozone (O3) which does have a particular smell.

Or you can make a dynamic mike with a strip of tinfoil suspended between the poles of a strong magnet; only puts out a few millivolts so needs lots of amplification.  Or use the old telephone mike technique, a bunch of carbon particles pressed lightly together in an insulating case with metal end caps; this behaves like a variable resistance so you need to connect it to a DC source and amplify the voltage changes across it.  Or you could get really ambitious and make a condenser mike; but this one's extra tricky to implement since you need two parallel metal plates, one rigid and the other foil; bias them with a high voltage from a high impedance source, amplify the output.

They use  Electricity and Magnetism ( by Purcell) \nBerkeley Physics Course. Vol. 2. (Edit.  McGraw-Hill) for Physics2 (elecricity and magnetism) \nand for statics must be: Statics (by Waclaw Zalewski and Edward Allen).\n\n...why don't you get into the webpage? , they give you courses for free and also you can check his solved exams, it's pretty cool.
