(...) Also, the external pressure is usually fairly fixed (atmospheric pressure) and there's a lower limit to the internal pressure (absolute vacuum), but no intrinsic upper limit (though it is limited by the strength of the tank). Therefore a (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.technic)

(...) Yes, you can store vacuum. But all you can store is 1 atmosphere. So a little blue tank with 4 atmospheres has a lot more storage than one with negative 1 atmosphere! Also, it's real hard to make vacuum, in the real world. I once built a (...) (23 years ago, 18-Dec-01, to lugnet.robotics)
