Will it produce a static charge if aimed directly at a surface?

Hello, if you are asking if a static charge will develop around the surface of an object if the ionizer is aimed at the object - the answer is that it depends. For example, if you stand directly in front of the ionizer (within a couple feet away from the ionizer) and you are wearing shoes then your body will develop a slight static charge. However, if you are barefoot, then the floor will drain the charge away before your body has a chance to develop a static charge.

I am not sure how well accurately it would work on just the surface. It is more designed to have the probes embedded into something e.g. soil, water.

NO!!! You have to charge it first and that takes a long time, but so you dont waste time and electricity, it probably will not leave the ground anyway. Buy something better.

I've had no hairs stick to my ball but don't have pets b/c I'm allergic. I haven't noticed any signs of static electricity when I use my ball, always on carpet, so I would guess the answer is "no".

I have not had to use it yet, but; I suppose it would be like when you build up static electricity and touch a metal object.It only takes a brief touch to shock you.

If it is close range and hits a solid surface, it is likely. It has a metal part that will crush, but anytime it has enough velocity and a surface hard enough to bounce it would.

Sorry, but I don't have the answer to your question ... just a guess. How about spraying with Static Guard?

It will but a trickle charge. Meaning if you are not using the battery it will charge but if constantly trolling it will not keep up specially on high troll settings. Hope this helps!!

it would only be the same if the clippy-end were attached to something that is connected to the actual ground, aka "grounded." just clipping it to any piece of metal will only help w/ shock and/or static electricity, which is still good to do, but not as good as getting grounded.

No, it is static. It can however be moved closer to or further away from the picture.

Yes. It works right away with zero charge as long as it is plugged in. This actually happened for me yesterday, so I can say without question that yes, it will.

No, it doesn't seem to--and there are two cats in the house to prove it! The plastic doesn't seem to get a static electricity charge.

Yes - it will be grounded to the house ground. But you will have a double neutral bond unless you disconnect the bond at the gen (see the manual) or use neutral switching transfer panel (still works though). Used as standalone not connected to house it is recommended to use a grounding rod even though it is neutral bonded.

the anti-static properties shouldn't be affected by a hole in the mat; it should still work fine

You probably don't need it. But when the device has it's own ground wire, I imagine it will filter any induced or static charge the antenna may pick up.

Yes, this is one part of a complete anti static method. grounded straps and pads should be used.

In theory, yes. But you would only be able to walk as far as the leash (which would be about 18 inches). The anti-static strap only works when it is attached to a ground. In order to receive the anti-static benefits, you must be grounded. This is only intended for those sitting at a desk repairing computer component, and would not be a practical solution for day-to-day static electricity taming. Your best bet would be to invest in a humidifier.
