Hi
I have made a ball mill using orange waste pipe, I am fairly sure its PVC. I have made a couple of ball mills and had a couple of interesting experiences opening them up after milling! Mostly its just been charcoal etc that I have milled but now I am milling some more erm 'lively' materials, I have the milling machine at the bottom of the garden out the way. I want to try and reduce the static as much as I can so thought of adding a earth stake tied to the various parts of the machine frame and stuck in the ground.
Any idea if I need a resistor? if so would 10meg do it? I had charcoal catch light on my last tube when I opened it (more of a flash) and the stuff I want to mill now is a bit more touchy.
