Static Electricity Experiment w/Rice Krispies

[Jessraytselsky]

does this shock you if you touch it? bc for my physics project i need to make an static electricity zapper so it has to zapp my physics teacher and this is the only video i can find that is simple to make with static electricity

HI MRS. COSTELLO!!! Lol

[autotune78]

@: blackirby100: me too lol we watched it in class

[BO0TH0N2]

i like rice krispies

[blackkirby100]

omg i tried this experament in school today XD

[ericericeric833]

GOTTA HAVE MY POPS!!!

[sabecca98]

wat r the materials

[manigenius1]

That's cool yo

[cutiepieem]

is the plate negatively or positively charged?

[cupatt]

who can say what electricity exactly is. first we thought it were electrons then somebody came and said that it were strings. we can search endlesly for what it coulod be and everytime come up with something new. they are all theories and not nfacts

[shepherdsmusic]

@cupatt Energy and Electricity are forms of radiation produced either by Dark matter reactions or by Light matter reactions. Dark Matter = Space, Light Matter = The Giant Sun at the center of our galaxy or sun in this solar system. All we are really doing is creating tools much like an antenna and tunning into the different radiations.

We have tried everything!

we are doing this for a science experiment and it hasnt worked.

We searched for wool but that didn't work, we got the rice krispies but nothing worked.

We dont know what to do now! PLEASE HELP!!!!

my experiment work just fine, are you sure you are using plexiglass, if you are make sure you get the plastic out that is attach for protection. the plexiglass works perfect, it has static by itself already

[ddmdUp]

I know this is really old, but humidity determines if you can build a static charge. Too high and no charge.

ok thx i handed it in alrady and got a b+ but thx alot for the video

[tmowill]

we ended up doing the ivory soap in the microwave. This looked fun what you did, but we were having too hard of a time to build up a charge. We were also using coco crispes, which I didn't think would make a difference with the effect of the experiment, but maybe it did. The soap experiment turned out good, and my son loved seeing it grow in the microwave!

Hello,

I am trying to find out how you did this. My son is trying to do the same experiment, but for some reason we aren't having any luck. What kind of cloth are you using? please tell me. We got to turn this in on Wednesday!

Hello, Sorry I was unable to reply by the time your project was due. I hope you figured it out. We found this project & committed to it & then realized we owned no wool. We could only find 20% wool cloth by the yard @ the fabric store. Best results were rubbing the wool on 1 side of the plexiglass to get it 'ready' & then facing that side toward the rice. Then we rubbed the wool on the top side as u c in the video. Experiment didn't work as easily as the instructions said. Let us know how u did.

[nickrocksya4]

did you try other materials and if so why do some materials hold the charge and others do not

[kawasakiyamazuki]

The only other material we tried in place of the Rice Crispies was a handful of ABS plastic pellets. The ABS is highly charged at work in the sheets of plastic we make--shocks us often. The raw pellets did not work at all here like I hoped they would though.
