What is the difference between powder coating and painting?

Powder coating is tougher than paint, but it still can chip like paint. You have to spray it on and then bake it at a high temp for it to cool. I believe you have to ground the part your spraying and it uses electricity.


Is the static discharge a flow of electrons?

Static discharge is the spark associated with static electricity that is caused by electrostatic discharge.


Uses of static electricity?

Practical Uses of Static ChargesThe ability of opposite charges in static electricity is what's used when designing applications for it.Dust removal: There are some appliances that can eliminate dust from the air, like air purifiers. They use static electricity to alter the charges in the dust particles so that they stick to a plate or filter of the purifier that has an opposite charge as that of the dust (opposite charges attract each other). This effect is also used in industrial smokestacks to reduce the pollution that they generate, altough they work in a very large scale, the effect is basically the same as the home air purifier.Photocopy: Copy machines use static to make ink get attracted to the areas where we need the information copied. It uses the charges to apply the ink only in the areas where the paper to be copied is darker (usually this means text or other information) and not where the paper is white, this process is called xerography.Car painting: To make sure a car's paint is uniform and that it will resist the high speeds and weather to protect the car's metal interior, it is applied with a static charge. The metal body of the car is submerged in a substance that charges it positively, and the paint is charged negatively with the paint sprayer. This process ensures a uniform layer of paint, since when there is enough negative paint in the car the extra will be repelled by the paint already in the car.It also ensures that the paint won't fall off, since the electrical attraction between the paint and the car is stronger than if it was just sprayed.All of these processes use electronic circuits to generate and control the static charges generated. If you are interested in electricity and electronics, check out my electronic circuits for beginners site, where you will find simple circuits to get you started, When you have learned enough you can build your own practical static electricity circuits for your own use!


Can a light bulb work with static electricity?

No


Can neutrons cause static electricity?

No. The movement of electrons is what causes electricity, and neutrons take no part in it.

How is static electricity used when spraying crops with insecticide?

Static electricity is a charge built up by a range of actions like rubbing a polythene rod against a duster, we can see the effects by rubbing a balloon against our hair and the negatives will move to the balloon but will not move this is what makes static electricity different to the normal electricity in our houses, cars and other electrical items. Static electricity and paint… static electricity can be used by mechanics to respray cars this can be done by charging the paint negative and the car positive and the paint will arc towards it when doing this to a bike it is unnecessary to turn the bike around as the paint will coat both sides. its the same thing one thing is charged positive and the other negative sothey will attract! hope this helps


Does PVC pipe generate static electricity?

A PVC pipe alone does not generate static electricity. Electrons need to be transfered for static electricity to be generated. Rubbing felt on the pipe or spraying it with sand are two common ways that people can use PVC pipe to generate static electricity.


What can you do to stop static electricity on your hair?

What are some ways you use static electricity?

Photo Copy machines use static electricity to get the ink in the places where it needs to be copied. There's an artist that uses static electricity to fly the different paint onto the paper. They also use static electricity to paint cars. (True enough, I got the artist thing from Bill Nye The Science Guy)

How do you get static electricity out of a snow globe?

Spray short bursts of Static Guard into the globe during operation ... Repete until the snow is flowing smoothly. DO NOT spray to much at first ! Less is better and then a second spraying if needed !!
