Details about the benefits of the StaticGrassKing static grass applicator.
This is the static grass applicator that we use in all our how to use static grass tutorials that you see at this link.
Below is a summary of the benefits.
At the bottom of the page are links to where you can get one near you.
StaticGrassKing Benefits Summary
- A 15kv static field with its unique configuration makes it a more powerful static grass applicator than many much more expensive commercial applicators.
- Versatile – Change grass containers to suit the task at hand. Use one type container for large areas, another for fine detail work, another to make wire tree branches and so on.
- Modular – The grass container can be small and light without integral electronics and switches. Result – you have better control and easier grass laying, adding branches to wire trees, making weeds and grass patches and tufts.
- Separate Grass Container – Grass is easily changed without having to handle entire grass applicator.
- Low Cost – You don’t have to pay for the power supply or grass container. You probably already have something that can be used.
- Flat Surfaces – The control unit stays in place. It does not roll around table.
- Uses a static field generator especially designed for static grass applicators.
- A powerful 12 v DC input with 15KV static field output unit that makes laying grass easy. No grass flying all over the place.
- Unique variable input to output voltage control allows you to work at output voltages as low as 7.5 kilo volts DC
- 12vDC input so that you do not have to work with 110V or 220V power.
- The electronics are European Union Certified.

A More Powerful Static Grass Applicator Than Many Much More Expensive Commercial Applicators.
The configuration of the StaticGrassKing allows you to put the powerful 15kv static field just where you need it. You can concentrate the static field and outperform most other static grass applicators.
This comment we received our satisfied customers puts it quite succinctly.
Begin Comments – “It works! I have a Noch Grassinator, a Flockbox a flyswatter static grass applicator and I bought the Grassking Static Field Generator and it is by far the best I have used and it is the most versatile.”
My train group has been converted to using the Grassking pictured here. We have had excellent results using it and I would highly recommend it to anyone working with static grass! The service has also been great. It comes with excellent instructions. I have bought the kit which goes together very quickly and one diy for another project. Both have worked flawlessly!
Thank you Gary. The machine is our favorite. One of the two I ordered was for a man who did electronic repair for a living!
Our group loves them. We call my original one the Death Star! We are now using a 7.5 volt regulated power supply.
It still puts out a great charge! We really like them and I’m sure there will be more orders from us. We used the third one with a regulated 7.5 regulated power supply and it worked great!
My train group is really impressed with the generator.” – End Comments
Versatile – Change grass containers to suit the task at hand. Use one type container for large areas, another for fine detail work, another to make wire tree branches and so on.
Different jobs require different grass containers to get the best in fact. For example making grass patches and field scenery should be done with different grass containers. With the plug and play feature of the StaticGrassKing, it is extremely easy to do this.
Modular – The grass container can be small and light without integral electronics and switches. Result – you have better control and easier grass laying, adding branches to wire trees, making weeds and grass patches and tufts.
Working around borders, in ditches, streams, and other areas that require fine work becomes very easy to do when you pick a grass container that suits the job exactly. The modular design makes it very easy to do this.
Separate Grass Container – Grass is easily changed without having to handle the entire grass applicator.
If you use a tea or vegetable strainer, it’s just a simple matter of turning them over, tapping out the grass and refilling with something new. And if you do like we do, we often have other containers preloaded and just change the container that is plugged into the control unit. This is very convenient.
Low Cost – You don’t have to pay for the power supply or grass container. You probably already have something that can be used.
Since the grass container and power supply are separate modules, you don’t pay for a power supply or grass container. You pay for only what is important and that is the electronics.
Flat Surfaces – The control unit stays in place. It does not roll around table.
When you put it down it stays put even if the surface is not level. You can concentrate on laying grass and not worrying about your applicator rolling around if you put it down.
Uses a static field generator especially designed for static grass applicators.
Use the right tool for the right job.
A large number of other negative ion generators are designed to be used in air conditioners, fly swatters, vacuum cleaners and air purification equipment.
The negative ion generator/anion generator used in this unit was designed specifically to be used in static grass applicators. It can, of course, be used in any other application but its main purpose is to power versatile, quality static grass applicators.
The result is a static grass applicator that will outperform most of the static grass applicators on the market.
A powerful unit that makes laying grass easy. No grass flying all over the place.
The output with a 12 v DC input is 15 kv.
The higher the static field, the more pull there is to make the grass stand up just where you want it. No more wasted grass flying all over the place.
For you that means that you won’t have grass laying down in the glue. And you won’t have to go over your work with a vacuum cleaner to stand the grass up – a process recommended by many people using other applicators.
And, if you are going to make grass tufts ( “everyone” does ) or flowers ( many do ), you want your grass standing as straight and high as possible. That goes for short grass that you will top with scatter to make weeds.
Unique variable input to output voltage control allows you to work at output voltages as low as 7.5 kilovolts DC
When we designed this, we took into consideration feedback from beta testers that sometimes it might be useful to work with lower output voltages or lower input voltages.
So you get a unit whose output voltage varies with the input voltage. With a 12vDC input, output is a nominal 12 to 15kv DC.
You can use any input voltage from 4vDC to 12vDC. The output will vary from 6kvDC to 15kvDC. The higher the input voltage, the higher the output voltage.
| Input vDC | 4 | 5.8 | 5.6 | 7.5 | 8.6 | 9.9 | 10.9 | 11.9 |
| Output -Kv | 7.5 | 8.5 | 9.5 | 10.5 | 11.5 | 12.5 | 13.5 | 14.5 |
So you have a lot of flexibility for your application.
12vDC input so that you do not have to work with 110V or 220V power.
When working with electricity, safety should always be your first concern!
Simply stated, it is better to work with a 12vDC low current source than a 110 or 220vAC high current source.
And as a practical matter, 12vDC is all around your layout. You can connect to your power pack, the track, accessory bus, etc.. Whatever is convenient.
There is no need to be hauling an extension cord around just so you have 110 or 220vAC for your static grass applicator.
The Electronics Are European Union Certified.
For your safety and equipment reliability, the negative ion generator complies with European Union regulations.
