Static electricity can be generated by a thing called a Van De Graff generator.
A Van de Graaff generator is an electrostatic generator which uses a moving belt to accumulate very high electrostatically stable voltages on a hollow metal globe on the top of the stand. Invented in 1929 by American physicist Robert J. Van de Graaff, the potential differences achieved in modern Van de Graaff generators can reach 5 megavolts (courtesy of wikipedia) See the Related Links Below for more details.

How can you move a drinks can with a balloon?
You can move a drinks can with a balloon by creating static electricity on the balloon and then using that static charge to attract the can. Rub the balloon against your hair or a piece of fabric to generate static electricity, then hold the balloon near the can to make it move. The can will be attracted to the charged balloon due to static electricity.
What does water need to do with static electricity?
Water can conduct electricity, so it can help static electricity to dissipate or discharge. If there is a buildup of static electricity on a surface, water can provide a path for the excess charge to flow away, reducing the effects of static electricity.
