Here's a strange thought: I wonder if the electrostatic repulsion effect
in the 3M factory was caused by a gradient in air pressure.
When tape peels from a spool, the tape becomes charged. The opposite
charge is deposited not on the spool, but instead as air ions. Think
about it. If you pull ten feet of tape off a spool, the tape is strongly
charged, but the small spool doesn't become hundreds of times more charged
than the large tape. The opposite charge is mostly ions.
