Hey guys

Thank you

Aside here, on the case of batteries with torn insulation.

I recall years and years ago, going to the old science museum in downtown pretoria on some school trip...

They had this interesting static electricity generator, that used some kind of belt, i forget what kind, but it created electricity.

The guide explained, that by holding on to the one part, and letting the machine run, loaded you with a charge, like a battery.

Then if you touched a friend, a spark would happen, as you discharged.

What they also demonstrated was how this discharge could occur at a distance, in other words without physical contact between the two charged and uncharged surfaces.

Could something like this be the cause of the malfunction?
