There is static electricity when getting on and off the car in winter, because the electricity accumulated on the body is nowhere to be released. At this time, when it comes into contact with the shell of the car, which is conductive and grounded, it will be released all at once.
Just like a full-inflated balloon, it bursts after a needle is pierced. In fact, most of the static electricity can be avoided by some simple operations before getting on and off the car.
To solve static electricity, we must first understand the principle of static electricity and how it comes from.
When there is friction, induction, mutual contact or peeling between objects, the internal charge will undergo natural induction or transfer.
This kind of electric charge will not leak if it does not come into contact with other objects. It only stays on the surface of the object and is in a relatively static state. This is the phenomenon of static electricity.
In English: When walking or moving, the clothes and hair are rubbed in various places, that is, static electricity will be generated.
Just like doing static electricity experiments in school, rubbing a glass rod with silk, the glass rod can suck up paper scraps, which is also static electricity caused by friction.
In winter, it is relatively easy to generate static electricity. It is generally believed that when the environmental humidity is maintained at 60% to 70%, it can effectively prevent the accumulation of static electricity. When the relative humidity is below 30%, the human body will show a significant charging phenomenon.
If you don't want to be uncomfortable with such a "beep" before getting in the car, below tips can help to eliminate static electricity.
- Wear Cotton Clothes
First of all, you can consider the solution from the perspective of wearing clothes, and wear more pure cotton. Although the generation of static electricity cannot be completely avoided, it can reduce the accumulation of static electricity.
Synthetic fibers are all high-molecular materials with good insulation properties, and these types of high-molecular materials are organic compounds, which are formed by covalent bonding of a large number of atoms and atomic groups.
These repeating structural units cannot be ionized, nor can they transfer electrons and ions, because the resistance is relatively large, so the static electricity generated during friction is not easy to release.
There is also a table of frictional electrification sequence in the research: materials such as cotton, silk, and hemp have better antistatic ability; materials such as rabbit hair, wool, polypropylene, and acrylic are more likely to cause static electricity.
It may be more complicated. To use an analogy, such materials as cotton and silk are a bit like a bamboo basket. Filling it with water is nothing but missing out, right?
Synthetic fiber is like a plastic washbasin, a pile of which is all in it, and none of them can get away.
If you are capable to deal with cold of winter, replacing sweaters and cashmere sweaters with one or two pieces of cotton or linen can indeed relieve static electricity to a certain extent.
- Discharge static electricity before getting in the car
If some people are really afraid of the cold, what can be done? To be honest, I am afraid of the cold myself, so I need to use some methods to remove the static electricity on my body before getting in the car.
Before getting in the car, you can take the car key out of your pocket and use the tip of the key to touch some metal handrails and metal guardrails, which can also achieve the effect of discharging static electricity.
Another simpler way is to wrap the handle with a sleeve when opening the door, and then pull the door handle, which can also avoid static electricity.
- Increase the environmental humidity in the car
As the humidity of the environment increases, the moisture in the air increases accordingly, and human skin is not easy to dry. Non-conductive clothes, footwear and other insulating materials will also absorb moisture, or form a thin water film on the surface to be conductive .
All this can to a certain extent promote the electrostatic charge accumulated by the human to leak and escape faster, which is not conducive to the accumulation of electrostatic charge.
In English: the body and clothes are a bit moist, which was originally insulated, but now it can carry a little conductivity, and it is not easy to accumulate electricity and let it go.
Therefore, car humidifier is recommended, it is not easy to generate static electricity on your body, so you don't have to worry too much when you get off the car.
Nowadays, humidifiers are made relatively small, just like a bottle of beverage or mineral water.
Just put it directly in the cup holder. It takes about 10 hours to add water once. If you use a car for daily commuting, it is basically enough for a week, and it is not very troublesome.
In general, there are three key points of anti-static. Wear Cotton; Discharge the static before getting in the car; Increase the environmental humidity in the car
