Yes it can, Fluids do it, air is a fluid. Plastic is an insulator.

*AHEM* ... the important characteristic is particle size. A little
bit of
energy is required to put charge on a particle. For a single atom
or gas molecule, this is the 'ionization energy' and is typically
a volt or so, but that means the electric field has to be one volt
per atomic-diameter (very unlikely). Charging a leafy bit, you
only need one volt per leafy-bit-diameter (likely), so you get
lots of moving charge in a blower full of sawdust, leafy bits, maybe
even dust.

The ease of ionization of large molecules and particles is the
principle behind electrostatic scrubbers and household smoke
detectors. Oil spray in a compressed air system will be a problem,
but the air itself is not.

Actually, this is about the stupidest question I've ever heard of. If
you would seriously consider blowing the dust out of your computer with
a leaf blower, then you probably shouldn't be allowed to operate either.

Good Luck!

I like to buy goods made in a democracy even if the cost is slightly
more. I don't like the idea of sending my money to Communist leaders
who pay their sweatshop workers peanuts. To me, buying goods made by
workers who are paid well and treated with respect is like voting
for democracy with my money, instead of just cheering for a
politician. Otherwise, our people might end up poor and ignorant
like a spammer who doesn't know enough to advertise in groups
specifically labeled *forsale* and *marketplace*.

Someone who uses an expression like "stupidest I've ever heard"
shouldn't be allowed to write.
