Even with 100,000 h.p. engine in the vacuum, there will come a point where the vacuum is no able to lift any more than the 100 lbs that it could possible lift, theoretically. Perspective matters, especially when the purpose of acquiring knowledge is to apply that knowledge in technical contexts. -Le Chaud Lapin-- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Well, I guess you've stopped someone from trying to put a V8 on their vacuum cleaner Maybe. There are plenty of people everwhere who think that it should be possible to build a super vacuum if they simply make the sucking power of the motor great enough. -Le Chaud Lapin-- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I think you are underestimating most other people's intelligence. And seriously, do you really think someone might try to do that?? |
