It's an interesting topic but as I scout down the thread
my spidey, oops, reality sense keeps saying, oops, oops,
oops: a little something missing here. What is missing is
*numbers* to establish scale and magnitude. *I very much
doubt* what I see here, as it stands today. These are
things used in childrens toys. For adults application,
you cannot keep pumping the thing up: *thermodynamics* is
at the bottom of it here.
