Re: [OT] Shocks in a large market. How to check ESD direction?
I wrote a nice story earlier about experiments with LEDs as ESD indicators, but it disappeared, so here's a short summary, then I'm done.
The LED survived many HBM discharges at 27 kV, the highest I

Tried to confirm it worked fine, then the confirmation went to error and disappeared. Will try again.

Having a lot of problems with this "upgraded" groups.io user interface
I don't know if it's just me, but to me, the user interface sucks now. I just lost another long message I was trying to post - it just disappeared when I hit SEND. The navigation doesn't work right,

Re: Zero cost electrolytic can adapter
I use a regular hacksaw.
If the cut turns out to be irregular, it is easy to straighten it with a file.

A shopping cart that accumulates a static charge fits the Charged Device
Model (CDM). It doesn't really matter which direction or polarity the
charge represents from a perspective of being shocked.

Re: Zero cost electrolytic can adapter
Depends upon the manufacturer. I’ve seen both.
Phenolic is also suitable since it is usually strengthened by application of a mesh to both sides of the material.

The insulator is fiber, not Phenolic.

Re: [OT] Shocks in a large market. How to check ESD direction?
I would suspect their choice of floor wax and the material the cart's
wheels are made from. The equipment is all grounded, so you have to
generate the charge. There are floor waxes made to prevent

It would really help if people put an approximate location on ads.
Though it seems no location means the seller must be American as they are the ones that don't bother saying where they live (and

If you're looking for direction, you'll need two of them
I'd be tempted to use a resistor and neon with a one KV diode in series with the neon.? The neon will limit the maximum voltage to about 100

Could you use a small (NE-2) neon bulb for this? I recall holding the lead
of one and shuffling across a carpet. I got the bulb to flash.

Yes indeed, Steve gets the prize. That's what it would be called if such a thing existed.

Re: [OT] Shocks in a large market. How to check ESD direction?
The LEDs would protect each other from reverse breakdown. They should be stout enough to take the forward hit and flash. If not, you can put some C across them or R in series to soften things up
