I saw the topic "Shop Lightning" and had to check it out. Lightning in the shop trumps static electricity every time. I get zapped when using my drum sander attached to DC, don't need lightning.
I've often thought that if we could capture and store lightning the energy worries are long gone. Like a massive capacitor that you could step down and slowly release.
If you want to start a conversation that will never be resolved, ask if lightning is A/C or D/C current.
Then I realized it's shop lighting, not lightning. I just get LED strips when they're on sale. I probably have 12 - 15. When they start flashing, I beat the sh*t out of them and toss them in the trash.
