ESD-Bags sparking against the table they're lying on due to the high electric field / charges being sprayed off

Marcus Müllerfunkylab@mastodon.socialOct 26, 2026, 9:57 PM@wonka @gigabecquerel I mean it's literally in their name, they're electrostatic discharge bags. Of course they discharge electrostatically!
(Love the appropriately whispered Kraftausdruck there)

@funkylab They're electrostatic-sensitive device bags.
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antistatic_bag I'd guess these specific ones »incorporate a higher-conductivity layer to form a Faraday cage« around the »layer of weakly conductive material on the inside«.
