Static Sense is a start up company working to develop low cost static indicators to give a inexpensive alternative for static sensing.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) is the sudden and momentary electric current that flows between two objects at different electrical potentials (such as ground). One of the causes of ESD events is static electricity. ESD can damage electronics equipment. A build up of static charge can also draw unwanted dust to objects. Having an affordable sensor to indicate the presents of static can help prevent static harm.
