I'm almost convinced that this is a fraud. And being myself an engineer, I'm ashamed to say I'm a little confused since I'm supposed to know better... But I'd like to hear the opinion of the members of this forum, other than the opinions already posted in Amazon. Is this possible? I bought two of this a few years ago, and the description claimed that they worked using a so called "corona effect", which I later looked up, and found nothing about, at least related to ESD protection. As you can see, they no longer use this claim in their description, but it now reads "Current limiting resistor IMOhm .5%, Electro-scattering time 0.1sec, Rinsing resisting"
Also, they have changed the product's name, color and presentation (and price), so as to reset their sales pitch.
A this point it is my belief that there is no way to get rid of an electrostatic charge other than discharging it directly to ground... this taking place either through physical contact to ground itself, or through an irksome body-to-air-to-ground high voltage ESD... like the one one experiences when getting out of a car on a very dry day.
Here you'll find the critique I wrote about this infamous product.
