Static electricity shock when exiting car and touching door—how to prevent it?

and I started to kick the car after replacing the radio, why do you think?

'Cause you chewed up the old one. Haa haa

the old ones were stolen .....

There are two methods.
And first the wife gets out.
II You get out by yourself, hand on the door and then foot on the pavement and the load jumps over the sole of the shoe.

I wonder if the discharge occurs between the driver and the body. Is between the ground and the car body, and the driver is the jumper.

Summer is coming, electrifying time, so trust what a world.

Recently I have experienced this unpleasant phenomenon, he will only understand who will experience it ... The worst is on dry days .. Good patent - hold the metal part of the key and touch the car body with it (the spark will not jump directly through the fingers and will not be felt)

The causes of people are at least 2.
1) electrifying the car - solution "anti-electrostatic" belt well fitted
2) clothes - washing with a suitable detergent (worse with shoes - I have no idea here).

The cause of electrification is generally friction, and garments made of artificial materials are particularly susceptible to this phenomenon, even rubbing against the seat itself or against the belts while driving. Although here is a strange thing, because the belts are bolted to the metal structure of the car and the loads should separate themselves. In computer services, bands are used to discharge electric charges, fastened with a clip to large metal elements. Maybe something like this could be used in a car?

... just putting on the wristband would probably be more burdensome than getting "kicked" by static electricity.

I too have had this problem for a long time This is annoying. I would like to disprove a few suspicions here, because I felt for myself - I know it:
1) It does not help (or not always) that someone comes to us from the outside and opens the door, grabs it, touches it with a finger - unfortunately it does not kick.
2) It does not help (or not always) if the key touches the metal sheet. I have such a problem that I get out of the car, I do not touch anything, I go to the trunk, touch the key ... nothing .. again .. nothing .. thinking that he will not kick me anymore, I grab the trunk with my hand to open it and then how me j ** no ..
3) For example, grabbing the glass from the inside by the frame does not help. I tried to close the glass - it works, i.e. it does not kick, but I also tried to open the car by getting out of the glass at the edge (after all, there is no metal in the swift, only a rubber gasket) and a spark can jump from the door by touching the glass and rubber: /
4) The method of locking the car with the elbow - it does not help either, because what if I will close with my elbow, when I go to the store door and touch the metal handle, or e.g. the ATM keypad or, for example, put the key in the front door lock and then again " jeb ".
5) I also tried to gently open the car, get out ... and touch the Earth with my hand. But it doesn't help, because touching the Earth - it kicks
6) Passenger method - does not work. I tried many times both before and after the car was turned off. Someone will come out, close the door against the sheet metal behind him, he will not kick him, I will leave in a moment and if he does not shoot ...........

I have different suspicions. My theory is that it is not only a car, but we also "load" while driving. It may be that while driving, there is a puncture somewhere and the load collects on the car body, and then we "pull" it through ourselves, then the HV cables, coil, or other electric elements that are punctured may be to blame. The second theory is that easily electrifying clothing accumulates a charge on us that must go somewhere. And here there is and will not be a wise solution, because somehow you have to take it off and the jump will be on the car, on the door handle or on the ATM. As the car does not kick other people, I conclude that it can cause static electricity in a person. Perhaps it has never kicked itself, but because it has become a factor "charging" the driver ("capacitor") while driving, it is necessary to examine whether it is its influence or not, then it will mean that rubbing our clothes "charges" us. Different clothes with these clothes, but he kicks me in different clothes. I also take into account that anyone can be more or less prone to "charging", and unfortunately vulnerable people suffer. The car is electrified by the movement of moving warm, dry air .. probably not .. they would dig all, besides, the car does not choose for me, it kicks both in the mountains and at the seaside, at -5 and at +35 .. the fact that it rains I did not observe it, but the car was clearly wet. My misapprehension is most likely that some electrical component of the car has a puncture and while driving the car electrifies and we together with it. then when getting off, it is still insulated from the Earth with tires, while we lose insulation in contact with metals or the Earth, and hence the jump - discharge of the charge. As for the Antistatic Belt - it can help, but certainly in heavy cases it will not eliminate this disadvantage, we would also have to attach to it while driving. But the influence of the car on our electrification will certainly be smaller with it (with a solid belt assembly).
It is getting out with your hand behind the door and your foot touching the ground - as long as the load passes through the shoes to the ground - you will succeed. We will not feel, because the contact surface will be much larger in the shoe than the tip of the finger of the hand. But if the load does not descend to Earth, the contact with the nearest metal element will demagnetize us again after leaving the car and it will be "OWN!"
Steps I will do in the near future:
I) WN cables - I will replace them tomorrow, because they are mega old anyway, so we'll see.
2) I will buy an antistatic strap, it may help, at least partially
3) I will try to get out, hold the door frame and touch the ground with my shoes. Let the load come off.
4) I will try not to wear a leather jacket while driving the car (which has a slippery lining on the inside, maybe it causes friction and static.

If I manage to deal with this digging, I will definitely let you know what and how.

I will be a musical I guess I must wear an antistatic strap on my shoe and drag it with me hahahaha

It would be nice to have an element that you could touch before getting off and which the load from us took on non-violently, then you would have to lock the car with the elbow, but no ATM or other metal guide would beat at the first better contact ..

A few years ago I worked in a company producing plastic bags. Electrostatic phenomena were very common there, they kicked from rollers, machines, colleagues .
We had the luxuries of the girls in the production hall, we had to put on insulated shoes and hang around the flexographic printer or extruders. Then you approached the chosen friend and put your finger close to her neck or ear. Even two-centimeter sparks. The effect has always been good. Condition - well insulating shoes. Perhaps this should be followed?

I think I found the culprit .. at least partially - the jacket. leather on the outside, but a very slippery lining on the inside, as you move in it, your hand is almost constantly rubbing against the sleeve ... hand What to do with this? not ride in this jacket?

PS: the patent with the hand holding the door and only taking the step works. But sometimes the spark jumps differently. I grab the door with my hand, take a step .. and it shouldn't kick anymore. Mistake. He kicks the calf as long as it comes close to the metal threshold ... through the pants even ... also the step must be further, so that the pants do not touch the car. Generally, when getting off, I do not kick anymore, but the problem is after opening the door to catch the door frame, it is a metal sheet, because the schiza with kicks is powerful

I have a Corse from 2009 and it's beating pretty well ...
The phenomenon takes place in dry air - if there was no rain or fog for several days. It caresses the most and most often in warm months.

The way to discharge is this ...
You have to grab the door plate, extend your leg and touch the ground with your shoe. With this procedure, the load is discharged nicely

Hello, and I have noticed electricity kicking at home when I have not set up my strength and I drive in the summer on winter tires and only when there is dry asphalt and not only kick me when I get out of the car, if I lock the car without touching the metal parts, I close by touching the glass nothing is wrong going on and when I go to the store and touch the metal door, it flips like this doll

A piece of rope / chain connected to the body - pulling - touching the ground under the car and the electrostatic charges that the car will accumulate will be discharged.
Tanker cars with fuel, gas, there is always a chain hanging under the car.
I have such a patent and I do not copy it. Especially when wearing fleece / similar clothes, copies are healthy.
73!

And I noticed yet another relationship.
Cleanliness of the car body
I had a Polonaise, as it was clean it was copal. Later it turned into a "wheelbarrow", dirty, dusty, and surprisingly did not dig.
The same on 2 other cars, freshly washed copies, if it gets dirty, it is less or not at all.

Hello, why am I charged, if after leaving the car I will touch anything grounded, I will even kick when I greet someone by shaking my hand

Gentlemen, physics bows at the elementary school level, what did you do in physics lessons.
Sorry you don't understand this.

buddy, you are mad and you cannot answer the question, if you have been driving one car for so many years and nothing has happened and for a few weeks something is happening, physics has nothing to do with it, it probably has something in the system, but why help others do better king of physics

My friend is kicking the car ... Maybe ask your wife what kind of powder she was washing until the time from which she was kicking the car and how she was washing your clothes now. It is possible that the answer will come by itself ... If I'm right, let me know.

I noticed such a dependence at home. I haven't moved the car for two days, so it is impossible for it to charge due to air friction. I came, touched the metal parts and it didn't kick me. I got in, turned on the radio to program the radio stations, listened for a moment and turned it off. And then it started. Opening the driver's side door kicked me so hard I remembered so far. The next time I got in on the passenger side, turned on the radio, listened for a while and got out. I felt nothing. I put forward a hypothesis that either a wire is shorted from the radio or in the driver's side door.

Electrostatics and only it.
12v does not kick, and if there was a short circuit, even fuses will fly or something starts to smoke.
Only working ignition coils could kick so that you feel (and damn hard), and that's only in theory. Because somehow the coils "dig" through the candles all the time to the electrode, i.e. to the block, i.e. to the ground, i.e. to the car body. And somehow it didn't kill anyone or the smyr.

It is important whether and what the upholstery was washed with, what fabrics it is made of, what fabrics are we wearing and what was washed.
Electrostatic belts help to eliminate static electricity from friction of the wind. Nothing will help our fabrics.

I deleted the redundant part of the statement. [ociz]

And you know what helps me in my mate when I get out of the car and close the door by touching the glass, not the door but I don't always remember it: XD and sometimes I get an arrow but the best solution is to touch the door with your elbow when you get out of the car, if you have a long sleeve you can only hear that the spark will jump over nothing hurts

Gentlemen, have you forgotten elementary school physics? Note that people without body hair and sweating a lot do not have this problem. The topic is also not relevant during the rain.
The warmer the bigger the problem.
The problem is with us, not with the car.
I deal with it by touching the corner of the door with the keys held by the metal pin and the spark jumps through the keys which deprives me of the feeling of choking. The more dry skin we are, the more anti-static liquid for rinsing clothes and wiping upholstery.

My Tojka T22 car also kicks nicely, so I close the door with my shoe. It may not be original, but effective. . If he electrocuted me, I would take him off the shoe.

Hello everyone on the forum
Maybe it's a bit too late for the answer, but I know the exact reason for kicking the car.
So it will come in handy for newcomers looking for this very reason for kicking the car.
I have long hair, if I get into the car twice and get off, it kicks me and my husband terribly through the electrified freshly washed hair, and the next day because it is the force of friction and especially when I brush in the car, of course, only with a plastic comb in a sweater. the copies are even more amazing and if I am not in the car, my husband will not kick at all and especially if my husband or I will both touch the door handle if we want to enter the car it kicks then it is amazing then you have to gently touch the handle then it will not kick and it lasts for several years and there's nothing I can do about it.
Well, this is the reason for digging the car at the beginning my husband did not know what the reason for digging was and he went to the garage, he thought that maybe there was a puncture in the car, but they told him to leave the car in the garage and they would check it hehe ..... .
Well, but I sat on the Internet all day of searching and long reading, and that's why I know the exact situation on my part.
Greetings to the forum members

Added after 11 [minutes]:

Oh well, and I forgot to add that the main reason for static hair that the car kicks is combing with plastic and artificial fibers of brushes or a comb, as well as drying the hair after bathing with a hot stream of air from the dryer, as I do, and that's why the car kicks us.
best regards
