Do you have a copy of Machinery's Handbook? If not, get one, and work through some computations with modulus of elasticity, bending formula, etc. How is it that my acetylene tank holds 300 psi delta vs atmosphere with 1/4" thick steel walls? Do the math and you'll understand.https://twitter.com/PoseidonAwoke/status/1109805247311036416 …

One important thing to note is that as the SPAN of a wall or membrane increases, the thickness has to increase MUCH FASTER. A soda can holds 55 psi and the wall is as thick as a human hair. Now try 55 psi in a house made out of the same material.

I am so God damned angry with people right now. You don't need a physics PhD to know this shit. You need a copy of Machinery's Handbooks, which costs less then $8. https://www.amazon.com/Machinerys-Handbook-Guide-Tables-Formulas/dp/0831125993 …
