catches pet hairs and lint with stronger static than your
clothes, grabs hairs and lint off them, and neutralizes your
cloths so they are left without static.

There are some subtleties, as the net result may be
to have the lint travel back and forth between the

But those are not built to roll your lint laden clothes
on them, (it was not morrison's idea to have it in the
closet, not mine), in any case as you pointed out
they're inefficient, and most importantly, they have

another thing that might work is a piezoelectric lint roller; just have a ratchet on the rotating part with piezo units on the gear and zap, electric charge on the roller. |

Is air going to be pumped across the metal sphere because the field, like gravity, has the attraction drop off quite quickly? or is my power bill going to be through the roof? |

At least distance, most affecting, is [beanangel]'s idea. |
