Every time the weather is dry, the static electricity in the car is really troublesome. Just touching the door is a crackling static electricity. Although it will not cause much harm to the human body, it is really uncomfortable to have an electric shock. Static electricity can also damage the electronic equipment in the car, and a little static electricity when refueling may cause an explosion. So how can we remove static electricity?
Static strips
When people get on and off the car, the friction between clothes and upholstery will generate static electricity. In addition, the friction of the car with the dust in the air will also generate static electricity in the process of driving. Now many car owners will use the method of hanging a static strip at the rear of the car to discharge static electricity.
When the electrostatic strip is in contact with the ground, the static electricity of the car body will be released and introduced into the ground. The electrostatic strip was first common on oil tankers. At that time, it was dragged on the ground in the form of an iron chain, and gradually evolved into the current electrostatic strip. The effect of discharging static electricity is very obvious. Some electrostatic strips also have the function of reflective warning.
Portable static eliminator
Some smart car owners know how to use static eliminator. Static electricity, you don’t have to worry about being electrocuted when you open the door again. Static electricity will interfere with the potential difference of the human body and affect the normal work of organs and the heart. It is necessary to bring a static eliminator.
There is a light on the static eliminator. When the light is on, it means that it is absorbing static electricity. The static eliminator is small in size and only needs to be hung with the car key. The operation is simple, the carrying is also very convenient, and the speed and efficiency of eliminating static electricity are also very fast, avoiding the electric numbness of the hands before getting on the bus.
Installing the antenna
To eliminate static electricity, many car designers also racked their brains and finally developed an antenna that can discharge static electricity. Many car antennas now use shark fins, and there is an electrostatic discharger at the end, and the static electricity on the car will be exported through the electrostatic discharger.
The shark fin antenna will not form a turbulence at the top, and there is a special device to remove static electricity at the tail. While effectively removing static electricity, it can also ensure that the speed of the car will not be affected. Studies have shown that the shark fin antenna is 3% less fuel-efficient than the traditional antenna, and improving the beauty of the car will not affect the various functions of the car.
In-car humidifier
Dry weather is the main cause of static electricity, and friction between clothes and interiors cannot be avoided. The air in the car is too dry and static electricity will continue to be generated. Placing a humidifier in the car to increase the humidity of the air can avoid the generation of static electricity, and the moist air is also good for the human body.
Body waxing
When the car is driving, the dust in the air will rub against the body and generate static electricity. Waxing the body can reduce the friction of the body and reduce the friction with the dust in the air, so as to achieve the effect of reducing the static electricity of the body. And body waxing can effectively protect the car paint and avoid paint aging caused by excessive oxidation.
