It seems if simple static electricity experiments
can sufficiently harness 'static electricity' to reveal visible effects, i.e. a charged comb makes hair stand up,
then the same effect should be applicable on a much larger scale.
Why? Because the hair is attracted to the 'charged comb,'it indicates a 'magnetic effect.'
Once the 'magnetic effect' is applied to a visible result, i.e. hair standing up, it means static electricity has been converted to magnetic power.
It seem to me, it should be possible to create this 'magnetic power' on a far larger scale by accessing the enormous static electricity that pervades the air around us.
So, if someone out there has ever produced magnetism by accessing 'static electricity' on a scale that would light up a light bulb, recharge a cell phone, or run a refrigerator, or even run a car, I'd really like to see it or hear about it?

In what way is static electricity useful?
Static electricity is useful in several ways. It causes attraction between particles, which makes it useful in air pollution control and photocopier technology.
What are some useful electrostatic charges?
Some useful electrostatic charges are; static electricity, and full electricity
How can we put static electricity to good use?
static eletricty is useful in several ways.It causes attractin between particles,which makes it useful in air pollution control.
What are an anti-static wristband?
Anti-static wrist bands or anklets help ground a person and divert static electricity. This is useful when a person works in demolition. A spark can ignite plastic explosives, and the anti-static wrist bands greatly reduce the likelihood that static electricity would detonate the materials prematurely.
Why is static electricity not a useful power source?
Because it can cause things to ignite.
What is useful about static electricity?
You can move things with static electricity!

What are some useful electrostatic charges?
Some useful electrostatic charges are; static electricity, and full electricity
Which is more useful static or current electricity?
It is current. Because current electricity has moving charges while static electricity has stationary charges.
When is static electricity useful?
See the Related Link.
What type of electricity is not useful?
The LEAST useful form of energy is Static Electricity however it to still find some uses.
Why is current electricity more useful than static electricity?
because static electricity cannot be controlled or manipulated like current electricity (think of the saying "lightning doesnt strike on the same place twice")

In what ways is static electricity useful explain a practical use?
Static Electricity is very useful in many things we use in our everyday life. For instance, Photocopiers use static electricity to give the image or text a charge. The toner and the image have opposite charges because opposite charges attract. Static Electricity is also used in the ink. It makes the ink attracted to the places in which the information we need to be printed on the paper not where its supposed to stay white.

How can static electricity be useful to to people?
Filters inside industrial cooling towers use static to ionise harmful particles in exhaust smoke and thus prevent them from being released into the environment.
