I had to eliminate Static Electricity at a remote test site where the instrumentation trailer had carpeting. Just mix a weak solution of water and soap, spray over the carpet. Re-new when necessary. Works like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still seems like a lot of unnecessary digging. I hate digging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dig another canal through Costa Rica or another one next to the current canal a few miles away. The current Panama Canal is being plagued by drought. The original Panama Railroad - the true first transcontinental railroad in the Americas - was rebuilt and modernized a few years ago so that containers could be offloaded on one side, carried across, and reloaded on the other side. initially this was to allow large container ships to transit but the drought has greatly increased its traffic 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
