Static Electricity at Live Oak!

This ball is stored with electricity when turned on, and can store electricity in a tiny container which brings it to a tiny ball on top of it. That is called static electricity. If you put your hand on when it is on, nothing happens, but if you take it off when it is still on, that is gonna hurt a lot because you will get a little shock. Static electricity is what makes your hair stand up, but be very careful with static electricity. If you ever see anyone doing it, they might be a highly trained professional. This experiment was cool because you could see the little bolt connecting to the metal object and the ball.
