In one embodiment, an aircraft electronics system includes a hardware processor, a charge collection circuit to collect charge; a switching circuit controlled by the hardware processor to discharge the charge collected on the charge collection circuit through a bonding circuit formed from a chassis and a bonding surface; and a voltage measurement circuit to measure a voltage difference between measurement terminals across the chassis and the bonding surface.

The present invention relates to reducing static electricity in the general populations clothing, as well as but not limited to, static electricity shock between a person and metal. The present invention consists of a protective material or tubing (1a and 2a) shaped to protect a Resistor (1b and 2b). Metal attachments or Metal Screws (1c and 2c) are attached to said Protective Material and to said Resistor (1b and 2b). The static electricity flows from the screws, to the resistor, neutralizing the static shock to the person. The same neutralizing capability reduces static electricity in clothing. The static electricity flows from the clothing to the resistor, neutralizing the static charge.
