Electrostatics and viral RNA

24 Mar 2020

Has anyone looked into the effects of statically charging someone upon entering a room with a Tesla coil. The weak electrostatic recombinant nature of viral RNA of the virus on the surface of the individual and their clothing could not withstand the supercharged state of the surface of the individual and the clothes they are wearing.

I find this an interesting concept but do you have any research that backs up what you are saying? I suspect that while the cumulative charge on an object the size of a human might be decent the actual…

John, Thank you for your response. I don't have any direct research data, but I have been seeing some connections with other's work including the following article on synthetic viruses and their salinity…

deal with this issue

Something like this - https://www.element14.com/community/community/project14/fightinggerms/blog/2020/04/05/method-of-purifying-indoor-air

I checked everything experimentally. It works just fine. You just need to know a few "secret secrets" of electrostatics.

Now I’m looking for funds to create an experimental installation that can serve the waiting room of the railway station or something like that.

Hi Victor,

How are electrostatics going to prevent someone next to you breathing or coughing out their virus into you?
I highly doubt it works fine for this scenario, but I'd love to know more.

If we apply electrostatics correctly, then it will greatly accelerate the fall of all pollution from the atmosphere to the floor or walls.

This will not save us from someone who sneezes into our faces. But this will save us from the fact that the draft will bring droplets of viruses hanging in the air directly into our lungs.

In fact, we will reduce the volume of air in which you can get a virus tenfold.

Then be more accurate with your wording.
Saying it works "just fine" and that it is "absolutely" safe are just nonsense if you're now going to caveat it like this..
I wouldn't have said anything and assumed it was just over-zealousness, but you've given the impression in more than one way that this is an absolute way of preventing the virus from being breathed in, and that's just not true.
A tenfold reduction is not "absolute".
