Remote Control Roller

풍선을 머리에 문질러 정전기를 만들어 캔을 움직여 보고 그 원리를 알아본다. empty soda can, blown-up balloon, your hair

        5. If you move the balloon to the other side of the can, the can will roll in the

                                               other direction.

 

                     Why does the soda can roll?
                    With Remote Control Roller, basically, you pile up electrons on one thing and use them to

                    attract the protons in something else. When you rub a balloon on your hair, it ends up loaded

                    with electrons. Those electrons can attract the protons in a soda can, the protons in a trickle

                    of water, the protons in your hair, or the protons in a wall.

                 Why do clothes stick together in the dryer?
                    The attraction between protons and electrons can also make clothes stick together in the

                    dryer. When you dry clothes in the dryer, different fabrics rub together, and electrons from a

                    cotton sock (for instance) may rub off onto a polyester shirt. That's why clothes sometimes

                    stick together and make sparks when you pull them apart. You may have used antistatic

                    sheets in your dryer. As these sheets bounce around with your clothes, they add a uniform

                    antistatic coating to the fabric. Rather than cotton rubbing against polyester, you've got the

                    antistatic coating on the cotton rubbing against the antistatic coating on the polyester. No

                    electrons rub off-and you don't get any static cling.
