I'd just copy & paste in electromagnetism, edit out stuff about the agent, and change the image and the description. That should be a good enough start.--Hardvice (talk) 13:06, 16 November 2007 (EST)
Electrostatic?
Just out of curiosity, why do we keep specifying "electrostatic" energy? Electrostatic energy is electrical energy which is not flowing. Considering the kid is able to pull current (like from the power lines), simple "electrical energy" or "electricity" would probably be more accurate.--Hardvice (talk) 03:10, 19 November 2007 (EST)
