Hello, i would like to know how can build/ where can i get a machine that makes your hair stands up. it needs to be able to be controlled by a computer (i only want it to be activated at specific moments)? i am an artist and don't understand much of all this things so it needs to be quite simple...
Please help!
thanx
if you are looking for the big metal ball that when u touch it your hair goes *up* , then i really dont know where to buy/how much it cost , although i didnt really understand for what you need it , although :
from what i remember , static electricity allow your hair to have positive charge for a while thus making it go *up*
you can try it with a comb (although its very tiny) or with a balloon : http://www.fi.edu/tfi/activity/energy/ener-2.html
i didnt try the balloon but it seems nice !
if someone else dont reply then i suggest you to search in google keywords for "electrocal" "static" "hair" to find exactly what your looking for

Found someone with a Van Der Graaff homepage. He has a list of Suppliers selling electrostatic generators.

Hey cool! They have a Flying Alarm Clock. I always needed one of those 
yea,, that way when it wakes you up,, it can fly around the room so you can't hit the snooze button.

There are some really geeky toys there 
I'm wondering about combining the functions of the USB missile generator, the smoke-ring gun and a Van der Graaff generator. Could you Zap people at a distance with static shocks?
