Does anybody know if...
« on: January 15, 2004, 01:31:09 PM »
I had an impulse purchase yesterday and got one of these circular plasma plate gadgets:



..except I had to get a red one (which I can't appreciate the hue of, but looks funky anyway).

Does anybody know if these devices build up a static charge? I am thinking to mount it into a side panel of my case, but not it it is likely to destroy anything :-)

I was actually serious, which is why I was asking about the static charge level.

As it goes, it doesnt generate very much at all, although earthed metal does tend to get a current induced in it if it touches the surface. That would imply a well earthed construct to put it in would render it totally harmless...

Still I might not bother and leave it as it is ;-)
