Put on CB antenna the cathode ray trap (vacuum tube) and measure the
anticathode to ground current.


oh yeah, riddle me this... infra-red light is another form of
electromagnetic energy which can be picked up from the heat of your

body by an IR camera... since your body is radiating em waves
continuously why aren't you always charged??

I am emitting (loss) electrons and I am always positively charged.
See:http://www.siliconfareast.com/tribo_series.htm
It seams that in your area the physics laws do not work.


triboelectric charging can result in you being positive or negative...

and is not related to IR radiation you are emitting all the time. lay
still flat on the ground and you will not be triboelectrically
charged, but you will be constantly radiating IR radiation.

Excellent thinking. If I am laying on the ground I constantly pump electrons
from the ground into the air without being charged. Exactly like your
transmitting antennas connected with the ground or chassis. Without
connection to ground they becomes positively charged.

Are you able to measure the static voltage of a human skin?
