Hi,
I'm looking for a schematic for a simple electrometer for detecting
electrostatic fields.
I am particularly interested in playing around with static charge and static
dissipative effect of different air-ioniser designs. I am thinking a FET
based electrometer is probably very easily fried in this environment
I have some old electrometer tubes, still in their original packaging, how
hard would it be to construct a basic instrument, it doesn't need to be
calibrated but I would like to be able measure both positive and negatively
charged plates.
If electrometer tubes are also easily destroyed by excessive voltage - I'll
stop messing with them and use a FET or dedicated IC and try harder not to
blow it up!
Thanks in advance,
Philip
