I've been thinking about the POV, and
wondering how it'll behave at altitude.
If the air is pushing against a spring,
perhaps the ambient pressure behind the spring wont make much difference. Has
anyone tested the behavior of a POV at altitude. Seems to me that it would hold
back pressure, even in a vacuum.
