Hello, I am working on a project involving static electricity. I am trying to build a motor type device that can accumulate a static charge through two disks made of dissimilar materials (I’m still working out which two materials would be best) spinning past each other in close proximity. I’m wondering if it is possible for a static charge to build up on the two disks if they are spun close to one another (say with about 1/16 in separation between them. Or do the disks have to be touching/sliding on each other for this to work? I would like to use smooth materials for this experiment. Could someone please enlighten me on this?
Thanks,
Jason O
