Actually this type of " electrostatic guns" can fry electronics, so , use it very carefully, specially with the autofocus lenses!. I have some customers who use them for turning on Flame Ionization Detectors ( uses air and hydrogen as fuel) when the normal glow plug ( same type found in the engines of radio controlled airplanes) fail. And guess what, they call me complaining " I do have a flame but no signal". I always ask, how they lit the flame, and 99 % of the time they say they used a lab burner lighter to get it on. I do not make more questions, I go onsite ! :-( Angel Ramos Arecibo, Puerto Rico
