Default Dust collection flex tubing, what's good?

How many places per foot do you have to anchor the ground wire to the PVC to
dissipate the charge?

Hint. This is a trick question.

Yes, PVC is more a dielectric. That said, one puts wire through the
ducts so that it "collects" the charge that is generated by the movement
of the air/wood through the duct. You ground the wire to dissipate the
"static charge".

So while PVC doesn't "conduct", it can generate "Static electricity"
under the right circumstances. That is what you're collecting and
grounding.
