are we supposed to telepathically guess what you meant, OP?

>>12420744
>click on thread
>dont know what OP wants
>look at supplied image filename
>have a brain so fucking google it
>suddenly informed on what OP meant
OP is still a faggot but holy shit dude you must be a zoomer being this helpless

>only one, or at most few, reported incidents
>reports are single source and second-hand accounts only
>no plausible scientific explanation

What do you think?

>>12420724
Did *what* actually happen you fucking idiot?

I'm sure it produced a tangibly powerful static field, perhaps enough to make the space under the rollers feel thicker than air, but most of the claims were likely over blown.

>>12420764
it's not my job to spend my own time answering his stupid questions. if he wants an answer, he will supply the information.

>>12420764
OP could have simply googled the answer himself.

>>12420764
It's not my fucking job trying to communicate the topic, but the OP's. If I have to google just to comprehend wtf OP is talking about, then he is a faggot. QED

>David Swenson of 3M Corporation describes an anomaly where workers encountered a strange "invisible wall" in the area under a fast-moving sheet of electrically charged polypropelene film in a factory. This "invisible wall" was strong enough to prevent humans from passing through. A person near this "wall" was unable to turn, and so had to walk backwards to retreat from it.
>This occurred in late summer in South Carolina, August 1980, in extremely high humidity. Polypropelene (PP) film on 50K ft. rolls 20ft wide was being slit and transferred to multiple smaller spools. The film was taken off the main roll at high speed, flowed upwards 20ft to overhead rollers, passed horizontally 20ft and then downwards to the slitting device, where it was spooled onto shorter rolls. The whole operation formed a cubical shaped tent, with two walls and a ceiling approximately 20ft square. The spools ran at 1000ft/min, or about 10MPH. The PP film had been manufactured with dissimilar surface structure on opposing faces. Contact electrification can occur even in similar materials if the surface textures or micro-structures are significantly different. The generation of a large imbalance of electrical surface-charge during unspooling was therefore not unexpected, and is a common problem in this industry. "Static cling" in the megavolt range!
>On entering the factory floor and far from the equipment, Mr. Swenson's 200KV/ft handheld electrometer was found to slam to full scale. When he attempted to walk through the corridor formed by the moving film, he was stopped about half way through by an "invisible wall." He could lean all his weight forward but was unable to pass. He observed a fly get pulled into the charged, moving plastic, and speculates that the e-fields might have been strong enough to suck in birds!

You know what's funny? This is literally autism by definition. Being so retarded that you can't understand basic human communication.

>>12420764
>do all that shit so OP can be lazy
No.

>>12420869
Seems relatively cheap to reproduce.
Could be effective at keeping negroes out of gated communities.

>>12420869
Seems like information that should have been put in the OP.

>>12420724
I wonder if its strong enough to suck me off?

so someone accidentally invented a forcefield, and instead of developing that they continued to make tissue paper for like 20 years until they started manufacturing optical devices for the DoD, and now that they're a large military contractor they still haven't returned to this?

That about sums up /sci/. Literal helpless pseuds. Truly a shell of what it once was, but now it is poisoned by the American education system.

>>12421784
OP posted an inane question with a simple googleable answer while providing no details so you would have to google the answer to post in the first place.
The fact that shitpost is still up sums up sci all right.

>>12421793
>it continues
Yep, you're hopeless. Introspect for just one second, moron. Can you even do that? I hope to see you in the IQ threads too so I can absolutely destroy you.

>>12421800
You are worse than I thought.

>>12421814
Just give it up, you're off the deep end.

>>12421747
This.
If it was valid then it should be fairly easy to replicate it.

>>12421843
it is valid

>>12421892
then it should be fairly easy to replicate it.

>>12420724
Especially when it's a setup this simple. It's not like the swiss guard is killing polypropelene film roll engineers to prevent Laos from having forcefield technology.

>>12421906
>>12421958
This may seem like enough background to replicate it, but it isn't. We would need a lot more information to model the solution and redo it.

It's some kind of strong static field right?
This seems like a setup for a sustainable version, might need some kind of grounding brush strip somewhere along the plastic ribbon path.

>>12421747
What are black projects???

Who says they haven't?
