For example, in 1907, Dr. Frederick G. Cottrell, a professor of chemistry at the University of California, Berkeley, applied for a patent on a device for charging ... http://blog.pffc-online.com/kelly/2010/03/15/good-static/ I received an interesting email question. What is the difference between an electrostatic fieldmeter and a non-contacting electrostatic voltmeter? And, if I had to pick either one or the other, which one is more useful for solving static problems? I suggest using an electrostatic fieldmeter to begin an investigation ... http://blog.pffc-online.com/kelly/2009/12/24/fieldmeter-or-voltmeter/ Static is only one of many challenges in commercializing new products and in running production processes. How can we organize our information and prioritize our work so that each issue gets the attention it deserves, and no more? Analysis tools to drive data driven decisions and project prioritization ... http://blog.pffc-online.com/kelly/2009/12/18/how-much-static/ Thank-you for visiting 'Kelly on Static.' Here, I will share some fundamental concepts of static electricity, apply these concepts to real-world roll-to-roll manufacturing operations, and answer questions on electrostatic theories and applications. I'll be sharing my thoughts on how webs become charged, how static charge causes problems, and how to ... http://blog.pffc-online.com/kelly/2009/07/29/welcome-to-the-world-of-static/
