953 nut 59,541 #1 Posted April 26 National Static Cling Day, celebrated on April 26, is an American holiday that is dedicated to recognizing the phenomenon of static cling, its effects, and its control. Static cling is defined as the propensity or tendency of light (in terms of weight) objects to stick or cling to other objects as a result of static electricity. It is most commonly found in clothing, but occurs with other items as well, such as dust to plastic items, combs to hair, skin to leather, and so on. What typically occurs during static cling is the build-up of stray electrons, both positive and negative. The actual cling occurs where and when two oppositely charged objects come in contact with each other. 3 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Beap52 1,358 #3 Posted April 26 Dad, my brothers and I were standing in the door of our barn watching as a thunderstorm passed by. Lightening struck the fence not too terribly far away. Our hairs stood on end. Not sure if it was static electricity in the air or fear. I can tell you right now I wern't 'fraid! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
