Years ago (2000 or so) the production manager at a company I worked at decided to purchase the wireless ESD straps. The straps were supposed to be used in conjunction with a sort of humidifier. I, being in engineering, researched the device and found several articles about how they were a scam. I became unpopular with production since they had to add grounding to all of the benches use in production.

@seraphina985 Рік тому
Word of warning that Japanese strap there appears to actually be a negative ion bracelet. The powder in these items is typically Thorium Oxide which is mildly radioactive. Most of the decay will be alpha and beta radiation so relatively harmless from outside the body. Continued wear is still not recommended however especially when the dust particles are visible like that, they will easily be dislodged through wear or any form of damage and then there is a risk of inhaling them. You do not want to ingest this stuff as if it gets stuck in your body somewhere, which is almost guaranteed if it enters the lungs, it will result in chronic radiation damage to the surrounding tissue.
@BDtetra Рік тому
yeah i was gonna say that, its suppose to be a "negative ion" bracelet thing, not for anti static. Don't get me wrong its bullshit either way.

@@BDtetra I think a radioactive bracelet would be a bit of an antistatic though right? The radiation leaving is charged, so as long as you are charged the same way statically your total charge should decrease. Just I doubt measurably

@radicalleftovers1016 Рік тому
I used to work in an injection molding factory and sometimes we would transfer the reworked pellets from a large hopper to a large metal bin. The process tobs of those little pellets moving through the metal built up a DANGEROUS static electric charge. Everyone makes the mistake once of casually touching the bin without being grounded. It's super painful. You see a flash, your ears ring and pop, you even taste it momentarily. Static electricity can be pretty gnarly if it's able to build a huge charge. It's just that normal everyday activity never yields such potential.

Ah, was once involved in ESD protection of chips. We had rumours on the work floor. One was that there was a paper out there that showed that even if you did not connect the wriststrap to earth, it was still working. People just moved a lot less. Another one was that a small amount of alcohol in the blood reduces the energy in the zaps and therefore the damage they did. Maybe try that one next time? Cheers!

Nice job Linus, there is possibly thoria dust (thorium oxide, radioactive alpha emitter, you can touch it but don't breathe it) all over the shop now.

This was supposedly Japanese and not Chinese so it's slightly less likely, but you might want to break out the Geiger counter just in case.

I highly doubt there's thorium dioxide in these bracelets as that is added two bracelets for health products cams and the people who would be doing those kinds of scams would probably go nowhere near the electronics industry because they know nothing about it. Also thorium dioxide isn't exactly cheap, so it's only added if they think it will have any chance of increasing the sale rate of a product.

The Japanese info card at 24:42 says 'Emits negative ions from the entire band. Works well on stiff necks.' with a diagram of it supposedly heating up someone's neck. So it was meant to emit something at least. The Japanese text was written with Chinese glyphs (负 instead of 負), and has typos suggesting a Japanese speaker never looked at it (チタソ＆グルマ, ィォン), so may well have come from China anyway.

When I was a kid I've learned a hard way what an ESD does against electronics when I killed my first gaming console with it. I lived at the polar circuit, so having -40 degrees outside in winter was a norm and the air indoors during such times was so dry that you always had a charge on you. After that a standard ritual before touching any electronics or anything metallic was to come to a heating radiator and touch it with my warm socks. This way you don't feel pain, just see and hear a zapping lightning discharge. And then it was ok switching on the TV and console to play some Contra.

In middle school the teacher was using one to demonstrate and had a girl hold it. Everyone started poking and shocking her as she cried. All the needed to do was let go and it would have stopped. I don't think they were allowed to do that demo after that.

The “wind” analogy of charges flowing from sources is very interesting! It would explain how leader bolts on lightning work more effectively! And how the strongest “wind” from the biggest leader is what attracts the lightning bolt…
@lfaf9509 9 місяців тому
The only way I could think of for a ESD strap to work without a wire, is if it had the ability to store electricity, such as maybe a battery. It would have to be done in such a way that the static electricity that you build up on your body, would be used the charge the battery. Though to stop the battery from becoming over charged, you would have to give it work to do, such as powering a light or something. The battery would obviously need to be rechargeable.. I haven't put any more thought into than that honestly, but its the only way I have thought of to make it work.. The idea seems good, but it might take a bit more knowledge than I have on the topic to make it actually happen.

There is a sort of way to wirelessly electrostatic discharge, using a very pointy spike and ideally a lot of them. Spikes concentrate the electric field and electrons will flow off of the tips or into them as needed so you would be "grounded" to the atmospheric electric field so depending on how high from the ground you are and how far away you are from ground wires will determine how high above ground potential you'll still be. Assuming you are within 1 meter of a ground wire or the ground itself, you should be less than 150 volts above ground wish will prevent electrostatic discharge as that requires thousands of volts.

@@samim.Ali. put through hole pcb assembly. You know……. The stuff on a pcb board that has to be put through a hole and soldered, Eg capacitors, resistors, diodes, certain IC chips , transmission crystals, chokes , I/O sockets, pots mod controllers ect……… common basic knowledge in electronics would teach you what PTH assembly is. Say you buy a raspberry pi Pico and want to mount it to a breadboard, you’d have to solder pins to it. To do this you would put the “pins through the hole” and solder it to the copper pad etched out on the pcb. In large numbers you’d run it over a wave solder machine. Pcb’s that mix surface mount electronics and PTH electronics have to have a team soldering in the PTH parts by hand

Amazing guy, thanks for the interest in electrical engineering you've given me and for all the laughs along the way Mr. Sadaghdar. And thanks for shocking Linus.

Especially if they have "small metallic glitter or crystals" in them and made in China. Mind the radiation is safe enough to wear for the brief time you tested, but it is potentially dangerous if worn constantly for long periods (as most of such crap bands are intended to be).

I worked at Apple Computer (long ago when they still had “computer” in their name) and I had built tons of PC’s before but when I went to fix a Mac (“Quicksilver” PowerMac) on the assembly line that was putting up an error code everyone screamed at me when I grabbed a CPU card off the rack. I didn’t plug in my ESD strap first… the “procedure” was to go to the rack, plug in your strap, grab what you needed and put it into a static bag then go back to your “rework station” and plug your strap in there and take the part out of the bag. Waste of time…🙄 But it was fun working there! I got to work on all the new products when they first came out like the G4 Cube (I still have mine with its box!), the Xserve, the eMac and the PowerMac G5. Steve Jobs would order that production line have a huge curtain surrounding it and security stopped everyone from going through the curtain unless you had a special sticker on your badge. Once Steve did his keynote the curtain came down. I miss those times……

Mehdi kept the 'poker face' of the lecture room until he had Linus's confidence then had his usual fun while the two men gave the wire-less bands enough of a test as they deserved. As Mehdi is a professional highly qualified engineer Linus of course felt 'sort of safe' but still has a lot of the undergraduate about him. This is education at its best and Linus probably knew how Mehdi concocted the pantie fabric VdG generator. That is worth looking up on ElectroBoom!
