 Hi forum. 
I just had a craaaazy idea. This just jumped into 
my head and I wonder if anyone has ever tried it or any research done on 
it. 
Suspose you had a pressure hull with horseshoe 
shaped tubes penetrating the hull all over its entire surface. Then 
suspose the water 
entered into the open ended OUTSIDE of 
those tubes and the tubes were welded 
where they penetrated the hull and also against the inside of the hull facing 
outward so the outside 
water pressure enters the open end and is now 
pushing OUTWARD against the inside of your hull. Would this work 
to counteract some of the inward pressure on 
the hull?  I was thinking of a way to use water pressure to counteract itself by 
taking its inward pushing pressure and curving back outward against the inside 
of your pressure hull by use of horseshoe shaped tubes. 
Or am I missing something basic again about 
pressure? 
Kindest Regards, 
Bill Akins.
