You are currently reading a thread in /diy/ - Do It yourself
So I made one of these and it seems to work when I touch the two metals together or when I complete the circuit with myself but when I ground the plate and have the other one touch me I'm not producing any static? Can someone tell me why is it due to the ground
I've tried it on hardwood it didn't work and marble doesn't either

Here's the instructables link

electricity is a potential difference
if the ioniser is trying to develop a charge as a potential between ground and the high voltage side and you are shorting the two out then no charge is going to be able to accumulate

So what do I do?

You are not grounding it properly. You need actually soil/grass to walk on or a concrete/asphalt surface that is in contact with the ground.
