I'm prejudiced toward the idea that over millennia some electrons from the Solar Wind,
Solar and Cosmic Rays have been trapped in and on the earth, thus giving rise
to most of the electrostatic phenomena seen throughout the ages.
As a rough cut (in my opinion) the capacitance C of the

How come the AlphaLab says air sampling 800 cm/sec, where the refurbished
says 200 cm/sec?
They didn't replace the fan bearings? :-()
Dunno, these detectors seem to be quite popular on ghostbusters web sites; but,
the price varies greatly. I saw it at 500 pounds

Seems that a clothes dryer pulls charge from the air going through it, the water (especially
well water) and the clothing.

But something weird is still going on. If conductive water on the pipe's inner surface gives a second "capacitor plate" with an equal and opposite (positive) charge, then as this water evaporates and the thickness of the layer decreases... nothing should electrically
