Old Plotter
Description
See how polarization can keep a piece of paper stuck to the plotter.
When the auto-grip is turned on, there are alternating stripes of positive and negative charge beneath the plate of the plotter that hold the paper in place.
Purpose
Apparatus
Seems to be HP 7005B X-Y Recorder.
Setup
Use tape and a piece of string to hang a weight from the paper over the edge of the plotter (a letter-sized sheet seems able to comfortably hold up at least a 200g weight)
Plug in the device and turn the power on to the middle setting
Flip the 'Chart' switch from release to hold
The paper will stick to the surface even with the mass hanging over the edge
