Lots of static electricity is created when drying your clothes. Why can’t the dryer send the static to ground?
In: Engineering
The problem is that clothes don’t conduct electricity. If something conductive, like a piece of metal, gets charged up you simply need to connect it to ground at one point. But when something which doesn’t conduct electricity gets charged up, connecting one point to ground only discharges that point. Then the only solutions are increasing conductivity via putting something on it or high humidity, or connecting ever spot on the thing to ground.
