Something like this should work well: http://smile.amazon.com/Vehicle-Ground- ... ive&sr=1-6Charles L. Cotton wrote:This has a lot of potential. I could use a Van de Graaf generator and just lay one electrode over the plastic barrel as it turns (like the carpet idea) and the other to ground. It would probably be better to use a wide ground strap or something like an aircraft static wick for the electrode on the barrel, rather than just a wire. I sure hope this works!
That probably is the same JMorris. He shot the IDPA State Championships when we ran them at PSC in 2001 through 2006. I didn't realize it was him until he mentioned it in a PM on Castboolits. You're right, he's brilliant.
Thanks for the input guys,

You could just use a short piece of chain, but it would be noisy and eventually wear grooves in the plastic bucket.
