If the pressure is smaller inside than outside, the envelope must       old the compression forces, and the normal 0,1 mm thick material cant do that       in any meaning full way. If you make the envelope from steel, it would let you       have a little less        gas inside, but its a bad tradeoff.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
