Onderwerp: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Glass microspheres idea

I was wondering about using glass microspheres and air as a filler in a fiberglass compartment. For example, build a figerglass tank, then fill it with 10,000 psi glass bubbles and seal it off. I know each sphere would be loaded at points of contact with it neighbors but I seems like it would work to at least 3000 ft.

Please let me know what you think.
