KURYENTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[pajerokid]

Dudes,

I'd just like to share some observations....... In the past week or so, I've basically mothballed PJERO and have started to use my departed sis' toy RAV4.

I noticed that every time i killed the engine and opened the door to egress, a small but noticeable electric shock (static electricity discharge) runs through my fingers when i touch any metal part like the door!!!

Actually, I felt this way before when i was still driving a Honda. I dont feel the electric shock when i use my Diesel. A co-worker also feels the same shock when he uses his car......



Do you guys experience this??????? Just Wondering :roll:

[boybi]

pajerokid, hindi kaya ikaw mismo e electrically charged?

[pajerokid]

it possible...... electrifying ang personality ko eh!!! bwaahahahahahahah!!!! :mrgreen:

But seriously ser Boybi, sa akin nga nag-aacumulate yung charge and not in the car, coz even if i touch the gate, meron pa rin static electricity discharge. Dahil kaya sa carpet or sa seats???? OH SHYET!!!! Baka nga!!!! Yung Civic ko at Yung RAV, naka cloth seats!!!


Naku di ko alam! :mrgreen:

[boybi]

how about yung steering wheel mo? me cover ba yan? baka fabric cover.

[ephraim]

yup, yun nga. kung ayaw mo na makuryente, change the cloth covers. may mga type ng telang ginagamit sandali lang pag upo mo pa lang electrically charged ka kaagad. :mrgreen:

[pajerokid]

Yung sa RAV stock steering lang po, parang rubberized. :D Carpet type floormats..... what i do sometimes is touch the window glass with the back side of my hand.... di masyado ramdam yung shock. sa fingertips super!!!

Maybe your tires are not dissipating the static electricity fast enough. Naging problema ng mga Accord sa US iyan dati because of their Michelin tires. Nakukuryente mga toolbooth attendants when they get in contact with the hand of the Accord driver to get the toll card.

Sources of static.

1) Floor carpet
2) Seats
3) Shoes, especially when you're wearing leather... Your chances of getting static is reduced if you use soft rubber soles like slippers
4) Your aircon... aircon dries the atmospheric air inside your car... try to drive with windows open (or at least off AC) for a couple of minutes before you reach your destination... Moisture in the air will reduce static build up... Same reason why you rarely get static during the rainy season.
5) Tires. The larger your tire footprint, the harder the compound, the larger the chance of your tires generating static electricity. Again, if you pass by damp roads often, the chances are reduced.

ESD (Electro Static Discharge) yan!

[zildjian]

medyo malakas yan ngayon dahil dry at medyo may kalamigan din ng unti. don't know lang sa metro manila pero dito sa cavite eh ganyan. heheheh pano kaya kung may snow na sa pinas...

dito sa planta namin halos araw araw nangyayari sa akin yan.

[Stuckinstock]

when I was in the states, we always touch door knobs with the back of our hands first before opening it. tsaka yugn mga steel railings ng mga stairs, di ko hinahawakan.

grabe ang static dun (well, winter kasi siguro)

tsaka yung mga car keys, dapat may parang plastic or rubber insulation yung base.


dito, lately medyo malakas nga ang static pag napapahawak ako sa sa body ng kotse.

[boybi]

never ko pang na experience yan a.

[M]

yup. i think you can have a discharger (don't know kung ito nga ang tawag) installed. mine was factory installed, it's a small button right beside the door locks on the front seats. you just push the small button thing after turning off the engine. dunno if it works that way though.

Sa HK halos lahat ng oto may discharging belt of some sort na naka dangle sa may trunk area.

[pajerokid]

whithout a doubt, this is static electricity.... kaya lang di ko ma-gets kung bakit sa RAV4 lang at sa Civic ko dati lang nararamdaman to. :roll:

suspetsa ko yung seats talaga :wink:

ay nako!!! Mother Nature talaga!!! :mrgreen::mrgreen::mrgreen:

[wildthing]

alam ko na .... bili ka na lang nung anti-static clip that is being used by electronic technicians (this is available at Alexan Commercial)....you tie the band sa braso mo and clip the clippers sa metal part ng car....so you won't "charged"...

my 2 cents.:roll:

[5Speed]

hehehe okey yan, lalo na kung pedeng pang charge yung finger tips mo nang battery no? o kaya pang jumpstart nang engine....hehehhe:D:D

ako rin nagkakaganyan eh...nakakagulat, me tunog pa pagminsan...:lol:

[pajerokid]

5Speed::: hay salamat! may karamay na rin ako!!!!!! Akala ko kami lang dalawa ng ka-opisina ko nagkakaganito! Sa gabi, mga 11pm pag tahimik na, actually pwede mo nga marinig yung kuryente! hehehe :mrgreen:

[mazdamazda]

static electricity yan... ilang beses na rin ako nakukuryente when alighting from the rav4.

kaya ang gawa ko ngayon... i use my fists / elbow (instead of fingers) to close the door... that way mas malaki yung contact point and hindi mas masakit ung kuryente.

btw... this is one of the leading causes of gasoline station fires in the US... ang gawain kasi ng iba eh... after putting in the pump, papasok ulit sa kotse... then paglabas hindi na discharge ung static electricity... then lalapit yung kamay nila near the nozzle which contains fumes... ayun... boom! hehehe...
