again, according to the material you cited about static the whole 
problem was sparks.  Since there is no mention of sparks in the article, 
none of that discussion was relevant to our topic.  That problem, as far 
as we know, doesn't exist, so doesn't need a heter.

How is it zilzul shabbat to simply wear clothes, just because they do 
something that will be useful after shabbos?  Surely it's just like 
wearing a self-winding watch, which I don't think anyone has a problem 
with.
