Title: Belt drive static discharge and why the E6/7 is 99.99% immune
Post by: Matt Botos on September 16, 2011, 10:43:20 PM

First we must understand how the static charge is created. Read all about it at the link below.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_de_Graaff_generator (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_de_Graaff_generator)

The E6/7 is immune to this because the boom is not insulated from the frames by plastic mounting. Essentially static never builds in the tail boom, it discharges immediately through metal pulleys and metal idlers. No ground wires are needed in this design.

Title changed for those people who get hit by lightning or win the lottery.

I'm glad to hear this, because I was getting ready to install anti-static wires during my build. Another reason why Matt rocks.
