need to know this data now we know that humen hair can stand on end when a statically charged object is brought near it , has anyone have any clue as to if the yowies hair is statically conductive to, or oily, i have a theory that i need to test well ive been working on a circiut design and found it to be pritty good at detecting statically charged objects even myself , if the yowies fur or hair is as statically conductive as i hope it to be then if should hold a bigger static charge than i could so it would be more detectable then , we know that all kinds of things can generate static charges and some things or maybe trees or whatever would have the opisite charge , something like that i just need some good data to work with

looks to me that no one can anserw that . oh well ill just have to order a take away yowie to test my theory on

Steven,

I don't think anyone can tell you with a degree of certainty because that's probably never been observed or studied. I can tell you for certain that dogs and cats hair is subject to static as I've had both over the years and seen their fur react when they get very close to an old style tube TV that generates static. I would speculate based on experience and observation of other animal life forms that their hair would store static energy if the conditions are right, i.e. very dry climate with higher elevation.

thankyou smiter, there seems like there may be some unknown ereas in yowie reserch that can be looked at that others have not ,and possibly some new discoveries relateing to the possible static conductive nature of the yowies own hair, and the serounding enviroments .
