Why is static electricity not a useful power source?
Because it can cause things to ignite.
What are the hazards of Static electricity?
Static electricity can cause damage to the components of a circuit board and can also ignite combustibles. In order to prevent the build up of a static charge you will have to keep yourself and the equipment your working on grounded.
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.
What is a noun for ignite?
The noun forms of the verb to ignite are ignition and the gerund, igniting.
How fast is a nuclear explosion?
The explosion itself is over within a few microseconds, but it takes milliseconds to seconds for the fireball to expand to full size. The blast wave travels as a supersonic shock wave. Fires ignite later, mostly from fire sources knocked over or broken by the blast (the blast blows out initial direct flash fires before they can spread).
Why is static electricity not a useful power source?
Because it can cause things to ignite.
Why need car distributor?
It fires the plugs in the cylinders to ignite the mixture.
Do giant redwood trees self ignite?
No but the thick soft bark will burn easily in forest fires.

What can dragons do to spit fires?
Dragons use special organs to send flammable gases up their throat, and to ignite them.
What are dangers of static electricity?
Lightning is a discharge of static electricity that is potentially dangerous. Also, it may be a very small chance, but it is possible for static electricity to ignite the gasoline vapors during a fill up at the gas station.
What mean ignite?
to set on fireIn an automotive sense, ignite is the "explosion" of the fuel in the head cylinder when the spark plug "fires". The "explosion" forces the piston down to rotate the crankshaft and provide power to the engine.

A spark can ignite plastic explosives, and the anti-static wrist bands greatly reduce the likelihood that static electricity would detonate the materials prematurely.
Can putting out wildfires sometime lead to more severe fires?
Yes. If man prevents small fires from happening over a number of years, the volume of underbrush (fuel for fires) builds up and when it eventually does ignite, the ensuing fire is far worse.
Do electrical plugs cause sparks that start fires?
they can because bad contacts can cause arcing which can ignite combustible material near by.
Explain the purpose of the chains seen dangling from the rear of gasoline trucks?
The chains seen dangling from the rear of gasoline trucks help to dissipate static electricity that can build up during transportation, reducing the risk of sparks that could ignite the flammable gasoline. This precaution is important for safety to prevent accidents and fires.
What is known for high voltage low current and starting fires?
Under the correct atmospheric conditions, static electricity can start a fire. It is for this reason that all electrical equipment and equipment that can cause a static electrical build up is grounded.
