I was wondering if it would be possible to use flashlight batteries or some other type of energy supply to keep a small, hand-held object in a continuous state of electrical imbalance (a.k.a. static electricity) and then have the ability to create electrical stability in the same object at the "flick of a switch." I'm sorry for my lack of detail in the last message. What I specifically had in mind was a pet brush. Pets with short fine hair are especially difficult to remove lose hair from. I was thinking if I could produce a imbalanced charge in the brush, that the brush would become many time more effective at removing lose hair because the hair would be attracted to the brush.
