Static electricity, the kind generated by shuffling your feet, is typically thousands to tens of thousands of volts but low amperage; it can fry electronics, especially small electronics, but it’s not a power source that can be easily sustained in order to charge a battery due to the very low amperage.

If you could regulate the voltage and somehow connect your body to the battery circuit, you could charge your phone, but it would take a ridiculously long time.

There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don’t be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

  • ex. How do I change oil
  • ex. How to tie shoes
  • ex. Can you cry underwater?

Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!


Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn’t read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.
