I was at Fry's electronics the other day, and I noticed a section for ESD wrist straps. Most of them had an alligator clip for attaching to ground. But one of them claimed to be wireless. And was just a strap with a little plastic box on it(not sure what was inside).
Would something like this work as good as a wired ground strap and how is that even possible?
Well I just went and looked at that wrist strap this thread mentions and they reckon they use the Corona Discharge Effect to get rid of the static charge in your body. After reading up on the description of the corona discharge effect on wikipedia :shock: I'll be stuffed if I'll ever wear one.
