How does Windrunner Adhesion work?


Question

Posted

Windrunner Adhesion manipulates atmospheric pressure yeah? Or at least it simulates it or something since it's the surge of pressure and vaccum. What I can't figure out is which way Windrunners manipulate it make things stick together. Are they creating a vaccum seal effect by decreasing pressure or are they compressing air/increasing pressure to the point where the target people or objects cannot move away from one another? I think the vaccum sealing is more plausible considering Kaladin never gave Lopen the bends but either way a Windrunner could make things "stick" to one another.

Technically, but also very generally speaking, Adhesives as we are used to work on a principle of microscopic Suction.  So like Glue will fill in all the space between a surface, but unlike say Welding it doesn't actually change either surface, instead it fills in all the tiny ridges and contours of the surface and prevents air from getting in and filling out the space between.  

Windrunner Adhesion seems to make a glue-like Field between the objects that similarly prevents air from getting in between the treated surfaces and makes the suction-style Bond between the two.  Similar and opposite (in my mind) to Friction that makes a field that fills in those contours but prevents anything from reaching the treated surface at all and thus mimics a super-lubricant surface akin to mag-lev technology.
