RB evidently persists in his conviction that the friction between stylus and groove is a cause (certainly even he would not say it is the only cause) of static electric charge on the vinyl surface. This despite the fact that months ago when this question came up, already for the Nth time, it was made known to RB that Shure Corporation studied this phenomenon in the context of their white paper on the subject of static charge, which is available on line, and Shure investigators failed to find evidence to support the thesis. RB was dissatisfied with the Shure report, because they failed to provide much in the way of experimental detail. Fair enough, but why would they make it up? Anyway, I and at least one other Forum member have done the experiment in a controlled fashion, using a static electric charge meter to measure charge on the vinyl surface before and after play. We both, independently, find no evidence to support the "stylus/vinyl friction theory" for the genesis of static charge. However, the idea is evidently so appealing to RB that he wants to bring it up again.
On how charge can be removed from the LP surface, the "ozone theory" (the notion that an ozone cloud over the LP neutralize static charge) is ridiculous, although it is true that some of the gear sold to remove or prevent static charge build up does in passing produce low amounts of ozone. If your gadget has an element that needs periodic replacement or cleaning, it is probably one of those that does produce ozone. To the best of my ability to find out, other types of ion generators do not produce ozone. The deal is that vinyl accumulates negative ions on its surface; that is the nature of the static charge. Flooding the surface with positive ions will neutralize the charge. Static electricity is a fascinating subject, and much about it is still not well understood.
