Question:

Can high speed air flow through a rubber tube and produce static electricity?

Can high speed air flow through a rubber tube and produce static electricity?

Answer:

To solve this problem, I suggest you do not focus on the voltage level, but focus on how to eliminate static electricity. For example, choose a low resistivity rubber material to ground and control the airflow humidity (if possible).If you really need to accurately grasp the size of the voltage caused by static electricity, and there is no reference to the literature, you may as well begin to study the experiment.
It is not easy to describe the magnitude of the voltage generated by the static electricity of these aggregates, which is related to the humidity, velocity, characteristics of the rubber material, and the surrounding environment.
As a result of friction, high velocity flow of gas through the rubber pipes will produce static electricity.
