   Underlying Mechanism: The Triboelectric Series
   The fundamental mechanism for generating static electricity is the triboelectric effect, where certain materials become electrically charged after they come into frictional contact with a different material and are then separated. This effect is predictable based on the triboelectric series, an empirical ranking of materials according to their tendency to acquire a positive or negative charge upon contact.
   Materials positioned toward one end of the se…
