ABSTRACT:
A static electricity dissipation system for computers includes a display/CRT antenna console that rests on top of the computer screen housing and grounds the computer screen housing by means of a carbon foam member attached to the underside of the display/CRT antenna console, a grounded metal antenna extending from the front of the display/CRT console and having a carbon fiber brush that is in physical and electrical contact with the computer screen, a grounded conductor that is connected directly to the computer CPU housing, and a strip of conductive carbon foam material that is attached to the space bar or any other primary key of the computer keyboard to continuously drain static charge away from the user. The display/CRT antenna console includes an LCD display chip to provide a visual indication each time an electrostatic charge on the user is dissipated.
