ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for applying a uniform electrostatic force to a web moving between a pair of electrodes to create an electron wind that urges the web toward one of the electrodes controls the current forming the electron wind to maintain the current and the wind force substantially constant even though impedance may vary. The method may be used to provide a hard nip, to adjust tension, to spread and/or to smooth a coating, to remove curl, and to cure a coating.
