While inverse sqare law might help, it's diseaster for a real live
****ps. Really long ****p, has really large mass.

Lets assume there is something that could hold pressure of 5
atmospheres, and the ****eld is deposited at most 10 m away, on
opposite side of ****eld is an electronic component. How massive would
be 1 m^2 of ****elding in kg?
