How to prevent static electricity in cars in winter

Every time the cold winter weather starts to turn cold, our bodies will have various problems and we will encounter some small troubles in life. Many people who drive will find that static electricity is particularly easy to be generated in the car in winter, which will bring us some troubles and always have a great impact on our normal life. If we can master the method, we can get a good effect of preventing static electricity. Let's learn about the anti-static method of the car in winter.

How to prevent static electricity in cars in winter

Hazards of static electricity in cars:

Static electricity in cars can reduce the service life of electronic components in cars;

Static electricity in cars can increase the noise and hum of electronic products in cars and reduce their reception effect;

Static electricity in cars can cause the car to catch fire spontaneously due to static electricity;

Static electricity in cars can increase the dust adhesion on the car surface;

【Eliminate static electricity on the human body before driving】

Many people have experienced electric shocks when their hands touched the door handles when they opened the car doors in winter. In fact, this is because the static electricity carried by the human body is discharged through the contact between the hand and the car door handle. The electricity in the body is instantly released through the fingers to the door handle, making the fingers feel like an electric shock. Some people will wash their hands before driving out, or put their hands on the wall to eliminate static electricity, which is also a good method. When conditions are limited, you can also clap your hands on the car to discharge the electricity before opening the door. Compared to touching the car surface with your fingertips, directly attaching your hands to it can expand the contact area and reduce the discomfort caused by discharge. Before opening the car door, you can touch the door with the metal part of the key. This simple action can prevent you from getting an electric shock while driving. When getting out of the car, touch the metal part of the door with your hand first, and then open the door.

[Wet towel on the dashboard]

Spread a wet towel on the dashboard, use the sunlight to increase the temperature and evaporate the water, thereby increasing the humidity in the car. Or you can regularly spray some water in the car with a sprayer to increase the humidity in the car and reduce the generation of static electricity in the car.

[Use internal circulation air conditioning less often]

Using internal circulation air conditioning will result in a complete lack of moisture in the car, and static electricity will occur. It is recommended to keep the window half open (to avoid the wind blowing directly on your body). It doesn't matter if you sweat a little. It is better for the skin to properly promote the secretion of sweat glands. At the same time, you can breathe some fresh air, making you feel refreshed.

[Reduce the use of chemical fiber materials]

Chemical fiber fabrics are most likely to cause static electricity. For example, we can stop using seat cushions, floor mats and other items in our car in the autumn and winter seasons, and replace them with leather or pure cotton products. At the same time, try to reduce the use of clothes made of chemical fiber fabrics, and it is recommended to wear pure cotton clothes.

[Car body waxing to prevent static electricity]

Regularly applying car wax is also one of the ways to prevent static electricity. The anti-static ability of car wax varies with the type of car wax. If your car is very prone to discharge, it is recommended to use special anti-static car wax. After being treated in this way, the vehicle will no longer "call" the owner. At the same time, you can also use an electrostatic dust removal brush to remove dust from the car body to keep your car clean. The electrostatic dust removal brush is made of high molecular chemical fiber composites and has a strong adsorption effect on static electricity.

The above is an introduction to the methods of preventing static electricity in cars in winter. After understanding it, we all know that it is normal to generate static electricity in winter when the weather is cold. If we want to better prevent static electricity in the car, we can eliminate static electricity in our bodies before driving. In addition, waxing the car in daily life can also prevent static electricity.
