Greetings good sir, a few thoughts:
- I added a link to the article on electrical insulators, as I think it's first section presents the material at a level useful to most of those who will be reading the similar introductory section in the static elecrticity article - I directly added a comment in the section dealing with the triboelectric effect to the effect that this is the physical principle behind the common high-school science demonstrations involving rubbing different materials together. - I moved the section on lightning to a subsection of static discharge. I also fleshed out it's contents, and added links to associated pages. - I added some brief commentary to the electrostatic induction section, along with a link to the page on the Van de Graaf Generator (which I thought justified given it's close association with static electriciy demos) - I added a link to electrostatic precipitaros after the link to air filters, although static electricity is mentioned in the intro of the air filter page, it does not receive any attention in the body, in contrast to the pivotal role in the ESP page. - Although the bit on oil pipelines is neat, it strikes me as a candidate for it's own page. By contrast, I think the commentary on electronics could probably use some more content. Static electricity is also a major concern in the flour milling industry, and historically in gunpowder-related operations. This might be the type of content that users of this page are interested in... food for thought
In any case, I continue to believe that this page is becoming what is necessary to facilitate the removal of this stuff from a more 'physics-y' discussion of electrostatics. To this end I tried to gear it's style and content to the elementary and high-school level.
Cheers.
