Rubber mat - Destiny

The rubber mat is a very simple looking black, square rubber mat that has a handle in the middle. This is deceiving because it actually does something that is quite awesome despite its strength when placed on a flat solid object.

Simply when placed on a flat solid object like a table and then pulled up on the knob the rubber sticks so hard that it actually could lift up the table. The bottom is not sticky so the only explanation is that it is like a suction cup. When it is flat it gets rid of all the air underneath changes the air pressure. The air pressure on the outside pushes the rubber mat on to the table.

This rubber mat can raise many questions. Why is it easy to slide around on the surface of the table yet difficult to lift up? Does the shape affect its strength? What is the capacity of the weight?

When the seal is released it allows air to get under it and change the air pressure and makes it easy to pick up. One test you can do is slide the rubber mat off the edge of the table until it comes off. This usually happened at about one-third of the way off the table. Or you could lift one corner and allow air underneath to pick it up. You could also test if it works on surfaces that are not solid or on vertical surfaces. I tested it on the glass door and it held my entire weight.
