Paper brush

The paper strips of the brush have the same charge, so that they repel each other and spread out evenly in all directions.
As this process depends on the amount of the charge, we can also consider the paper brush as a simple electroscope.

You should be making videos of these things you're posting.

You can make videos with most cameras or cell phones. Edit them a bit with Windows movie maker, or many other programs, and upload them to Youtube.
