yes a bigger balloon produce more static electricity.Why will because it has more space to carry more static electricity.There you go i answered your question.

Is static electricity a safe form of electricity?
Static electricity is negatively safe meaning yes and no . if u rub a balloon on your hair that is static elect. it will stay there that is safe. Well it's very rare for static electricity to get particularly large in every day life, so for the most part it is safe. But it also causes lightening, so in some cases, not so safe. ------- Static electricity can damage a computer so in that sense it is unsafe for electronic equipment.
Is static electricity a source of energy?
Yes, it can. The "normal" static electricity we usually encounter isn't lethal. If we shuffle across a rug on a dry day, we can get a nasty zap! when we reach for the door knob. But note that lightning is static electricity, and it can kill or disable individuals with ridiculous ease.
What are the ways of producing static electricity?
There currently isn't a device in the commercial world that does this, because its not very practical and its not easy. Though static electric can be hundreds of volts, the amount of energy is very small when compared to normal electric currents. There has been recent developments in clothing which charge a battery. I believe this works by collecting static generated made within the specially made fibres. There is apparently a few different types of experimental devices that appear to collect electric from thin air. And I think some of the devices work by attracting large amounts of static electric. But large electric voltages have to be created in the first place to be able to collect the additional static electricity. Search for 'Spatial Energy Coherence' to find theses types of experiments. Some videos on youtube can be found also.
Does a small balloon or a large balloon have more thermal energy?
I really don't know
How can you tell when static electricity has been discharged?
Static electricity is an imbalance of electric charges within or on the surface of a material. The charge remains until it is able to move away by means of an electric current or electrical discharge. Static electricity is named in contrast with current electricity, which flows through wires or other conductors and transmits energy.[1] A static electric charge can be created whenever two surfaces contact and have worn and separated, and at least one of the surfaces has a high resistance to electric current (and is, therefore, an electrical insulator). The effects of static electricity are familiar to most people because people can feel, hear, and even see the spark as the excess charge is neutralized when brought close to a large electrical conductor (for example, a path to ground), or a region with an excess charge of the opposite polarity (positive or negative). The familiar phenomenon of a static shock – more specifically, an electrostatic discharge – is caused by the neutralization of charge.
When a large build up of electrons jumps you get this?
Sparks! And when the distance is large enough, lightning!
Why can static electricity be dangerous when its discharged?
The charges that build up on either surface can become quite large. When discharged the current will also be quite large. Large currents can cause severe injury. As an example, lightning is static electricity in action.

Is lightning a very large discharge of static electricity?
Yes
Is watching a television current or static electricity?
The operation of the television, as all electronics, involves electric currents. If your TV uses a CRT display as it operates it happens to build a large static electric field on its face, as a side effect of that operation.
Is lightning alive?
No. Lightning is simply a very large discharge of static electricity.
What are potential health risks associated with static electricity?
As long as the electricity is static, it is of little concern. Of course, static today, current tomorrow. If you are in contact with a large static charge and also with the Earth, the energy can flow through you, and there might be enough to stop your heart. I heard of a man who picked up two cables to connect them and was cooked. The person in charge said it was static electricity, since the power was then not on. Of course, it is my point that static electricity is merely charge, and the charge (most usually) has to move to hurt you. Moving charges are called electric current.

Device used to create millions of volts?
Van De Graff generator for static electricity, a very large Tesla Coil could produce this level of voltage in AC electricity.

How does rain make the water cycle?
Simply, gravity and static electricity. Rising clouds cool and form droplets around dust particles. The drops eventually fall because of gravity and kinetic energy is expressed. As they fall in large groups they fly past air molecules, where static electricity is generated. All the static electricity creates a large negative charge which can be expressed as lighting which gets discharged to other clouds or to ground. More kinetic energy.
What is an Anti static storage bag?
An anti-static storage bag is a bag made of a slightly conductive material. This prevents large static charges from building up on parts placed inside the bag. These bags are typically used to protect sensitive electronics, such as computer cards, which could be damaged by static electricity.
