Now I don't want to be a party pooper, but as its almost Christmas the
decorations are going to be
going up. And as we are always trying to improve our anti-static
precautions it prompts me to ask.

What sort of static field do balloons and other decorations have ?

I know that they can create quite a voltage when rubbed on a jumper, but
what about when cellotaped to
a wall (and in a slight breeze) ?

How far away from static sensitive devices should they be kept?
Do they generate a field around them & how far can it extend?

Do red balloons have a higher static charge than blue ones? (only
kidding!!).

What do you reckon eh?

TIA - Matt.
