Static Electric Shock On Trampoline. This is called the triboelectric effect. How do i prevent this.
While relatively harmless static shocks can be annoying and even painful. I go on my trampoline and do quite a lot of exercise on it but when i go to get off i get a static shock from my finger when i touch the springs and i can see a electric line pass from my finger to the spring. This is all thanks to static electricity which livescience explains is when electric charge builds up on the surface of an object.
Take this sad tale of a boy and his trampoline for instance.
Take this sad tale of a boy and his trampoline for instance. Static shock is the result of the redistribution of electric charges between different materials. Every time i am on my trampoline i get a nasty static shock when i get down. The charge is produced by rubbing between the socks or feet and the bed of the trampoline and by cloths rubbing on skin as he jumps.
