Danger Static Electricity Presentation Uses Continued This is a gas station fire. This is a gas station fire. One of the uses of Static Electrcity is the Electrostatic Precipitator Pollution filtration device Applies charge to pollutants to attract and stick them to the oppositely charged filter Dangers Part 3 This is the logo of a fire prevention campaign. This is a consumer Electrostatic Precipitator. Dangers, continued The threat is extremely dangerous It's fire with lots of fuel More than 5000 fires are reported at gas stations annually Search History Static Electricity By Pranav Kadekodi Preventing these fires is crucial Avoid going back into cars while refueling If you do go back to the car, always touch metal when coming out again By Pranav Kadekodi This is a power plant with an Electrostatic Precipitator. “Balloons and Static Electricity.” University of Colorado Boulder, 2018, https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/balloons.

Uses of Static Electrcity Static discharge can move to gasoline at gas stations Can cause disastrous fires Chances of dying in any gas station fire is less than 2 in a billion Electrostatic Precipitators can be used everywhere There are portable ones for use at home They're not popular because HEPA filters are more efficient They are mostly used at fossil fuel powered power plants to remove pollutants from the smoke
