edited. was van der graff lint cleaner
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.

I like it, one anonymised bun, to evade NSA..damn! |

Who wouldn't want to have a huge Van de Graff generator in clothes closet? Except residents of Narnia. |

mixed up somehow. too much static. Huston! We
Half a problem! Thanks not! |

There are some subtleties, as the net result may be
to have the lint travel back and forth between the
cleaner and the cleaned item, delivering charge. But
that might be nice, too. |

This is pretty much baked by negative ion generators, which act as a fairly inefficient but rather cool dust precipitators. |
|
| |
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
no visible sparks. |

Might liven up the long winter evenings ... |

I just see all those frikkin elves or whatever they have in Narnia asking if I've seen Azlan, as I try to slide the new looking lion-skin rug (with the electric shock burn marks) under the sofa with my foot. |

Next is batik with strips of Hobbit intestines. |

Pashute, I thought you had the right Vand de, but my subconscious mind typed van der graff. |
|
| |
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. |
