Static electricity can also cause uncomfortable shocks to a person who becomes "charged up". To experience this shock, drag your feet across a carpet in socks, then touch your finger to a doorknob. Static electricity can be responsible for the ignition of flammable gases, such as the vapors produced by petrol (gasoline) when you are filling your car.
well, do you know sometimes when you touch a doorhandls, and you get a small electric shock? Well, that's static electricity. Athough in most situation this is fine, if you are in a building with oil, or explsive gasses, this could cause a huge explosion.
Static discharges are direct current, household devices need alternating current to operate. ***** Static discharges are instanteneous (that is why they call them "static"), and they don't have enough energy to light even a tiny 1,5W 3V lamp. But even if they had enough energy to light , for example, a LED for some seconds, the device for capturing that tiny quantity of energy, and for transforming this energy to useful energy, would not worth its money.
To run a tv, it needs power to process signals, drive circuits & finally to give an image output (CRT- throwing electrons / Plasma- ionizing the gas cells). What ever it does, it requires power. Static electricity is available with the use of capacitors. But when the stored energy is consumed it's no longer there, it's discharged. To supply back current it should be recharged. This will need a greater rate of charging for a smooth & a constant power supply, in fact an infinite rate. So, this is impossible.
So moving/ dynamic charges or a current (AC) is used to supply a steady power to the tv set.
electricity is something that causes shocks
You can u sillys
Why is static electricity not useful as a power source
Not sure what you are asking. You have used two fine negative words in the question, so interpretation is difficult."Why can't anything be charged by static electricity?"Static means stationary. Once the static electricity is given the chance to flow, it is dissipated. If I charge myself with static electricity by rubbing my shoes on a synthetic carpet, then I have "trapped" the electricity - it is static or still. When I touch my friend on the ear or hand, the electricity flows to her with a zap and is lost to the ground.Electricity that is generated or from a battery flows continuously in a circuit it is not dissipated.
Static electricity build-up can be strong enough to melt the microscopic internal circuitry inside micro-chips. It's not the voltage of the static that does the damage - it's the power (amps) behind the charge.
It cant run electrical things with it, you kind of dont expect it to happen it just happens. Thier is nothing you can really do. Once friction builds up it can create a positive charge or a negative charge , so when the friction is built up it can shock you at any time. There isnt really a time you can say,it just happens at any time when the friction builds up and its ready to discharge.
Static electricity uses positive and negative charges contained within a non-conductive material to attract or repel another object with off balanced charges. Magnetism uses the polarity of atoms to attract or repel another object that can potentially be a magnet.
no you cant it will just jack up your bill
you cant

it depends on the amount of acid in the lemon and lemon does not create make it conducts electricity
u cant lol
Static electricity causes electrons to move from one material to the other. In an insulator, these electrons can't flow back to equalise the charges, whereas in a conductor they can; so whilst they could conceivably generate static electricity, it would be lost as quickly as it was made.
there are no bad uses of hydro electricity and cant be

You cant sell your room in static hotel
In short yes but it depends, mostly it's those appliances that use electricity in standby mode. The easiest way to tell is if it produces heat even when off. Run your hand over the top and feel for heat. TV's, computers, VCR's, DVD's anything with a timer or a clock and chargers for cellphones etc. Other things like lamps dont use electricity when plugged in. They cant because they use a simple circuit, it is either on or off.

Because metal and plastic arent the same materials so metal goes with the flow through static electricity but plastic cant.
You cant use technology without electricity?
