static wouldn't just make things bounce. Objects are attracted to opposite fields, and that force would create parabolic path changes. Now add the pact that the fields change quite a bit from second to second and the paths can get VERY complex. The eddy (read up on eddy currnts) currents flowing on the skin of the ISS would also create some serious magnetic fields that would change constantly. You are talking about masses of less than 1000th of a gram floating in a vacuum so the strength needed to affect change are minute and at that scale changes happen constantly. Again, this isnt static from rubbing your feet on the rug. Same principle, but WAY different scale. At any given moment your body has a continuously changing static and magnetic field. Its dwarfed by your phone, the power lines in the room, and mostly by the air around you. If you remove all of that, including the air, then watch the dust react to only these subtle changes, its cool.

There's a reason why we want to put labs in space, you know. Stuff reacts differently up there. You can look at simple things and see much more elegant behavior.

This has actually been done before, by people who wanted to prove if they could be ufo's. its duplicatable. just not interesting to people who need a daily dose of UFO conspiracy.
