That’s an interesting observation. It makes me wonder if that charge can be channeled into a system that harvests the resulting energy. Basically, solar power collection but using static charge that would otherwise accumulate throughout the object. At the very least, I expect a system to dissipate that energy would be required, or wild and crazy things would happen when such a charge suddenly finds a path to “ground”.
