Question:

can aluminum foil get rid of static electricity?

You guys may be thinking, why the hell i posted this in the computer section. Well, I'm opening my computer, and I hate the anti-static wristbands. I know that by touching metal, you can get rid of all static electricity in your hands. Can you do this by touching aluminum foil? Since it's something everyone should have in their house.. Can it work like this?

Answer:

Yes most kinds of metal would work.
No. You need to touch something connected to you home's ground, like the kitchen sink, or the back panel of your computer while it is plugged in.
Get rid of it... no, but it can shield electronics from it. Only a ground can get rid of static electricity.
Static shield is fine. But for relatively unhealthy hair static, I use material softener sheets. Just rub over your hair. You too can rub the within of your coat with the dryer sheet, not more static. Keep one in a ziploc baggie to your coat pocket, it is going to final fairly a even as. Bonus, you scent like contemporary laundry :) Better than smelly Static Guard.
