In 1762, Johan Carl Wilcke invented the electrophorus, a device that revolutionized our understanding of static electricity. This tool paved the way for advancements in batteries, capacitors, and ESD control. Today, static electricity management is vital in electronics, aerospace, and manufacturing, protecting sensitive components and improving reliability. Wilcke’s work shows how simple ideas can impact industries for centuries. #StaticElectricity #ESD #Innovation #Electrophorus
