PETE (#1) Plastic rubbed with graphite makes has a resistance of ~8k Ohms/cm

This is my third experiment creating what I call an “electrolytic memristor”, a sort of electrochemical cell that is essentially a resistor, but the voltage across the cell causes a metal in an electrolyte, such as aluminum or copper, to plate on the electrode surface, altering the resistance.
