   That was more a show of my frustration with the craptacular quality of   
   this machine than an actual expectation the tank will explode.   
      
   That being said, LPS3 is some good stuff.  I remember when it was   
   introduced at a trade show and the demo guy kept spraying it into a   
   corded electric drill and then operating it under water in a tank.  Mid   
   70s maybe.  I am sure he took every other trick to be "safe" like rubber   
   soled shoes, isolated tank, etc, but still it looked impressive.
