Maybe not a fair test but
not so unlike running into a submerged log with a 50horse engine pushing you
along. If there is one thing I've learned while listening to these guys it's
that safety is first! Your bottle test sounds interesting, see what happens and
then let us know. Don't get discouraged by these nay sayers, they are only
looking out for your life. Good luck

equal on all points of the bottle.... Maybe i should build a small pressure
chamber place a sealed bottle in it and hydro test it to test the theory. I have
put 145-175 psi in a 2 liter bottle before it blew just for fun but doubt it
would take that kind of pressure externally. Would be interesting to find
out
what does happen to the bottle....
