USB should take any short, it's designed for that. It should take static discharge too (high voltage, but low total energy). The device I linked to work by applying a moderate voltage (-110 V, read the article as to why /negative/ and delivering enough juice for enough time to overwhelm the overvoltage protection. A short zap at 10kV, as Jonas proposed elsewhere in this thread doesn't seem to be the most efficient method. Cheers -- tomás
