Ah. Nice to have a solid reference. It's not an unusual problem. Anything which moves thin sheets of insulating material at high speed can cause this. And so, there are standard devices for dealing with it. The simplest is copper tinsel. That's even available at WalMart.[1] There are fancier systems.
