ABSTRACT:
The cordless static electric discharge unit for discharging static electricity from a human body into the air. The apparatus consists of a discharge unit attached to the wearer's wrist by a wrist strap. The discharge unit utilizes a radioactive source to ionize air and the flow of the ions discharges the human body. If the human body is at a positive potential with respect to ground, the negative ions flow to the human body whereas the positive ions flow from the discharge unit to a grounding point. The discharge unit is mechanically constructed such that sub-atomic particles emitted by the radioactive material are prevented from entering the human body or flowing into the surrounding air.
