The question is how much pressure difference each system can handle. If a pressure tent can maintain one atmosphere on a vacuum world, it should be able to maintain two atmospheres while the outside is at standard pressure. Probably it can take three or four atmospheres before it bursts, but not ten or twenty ... So a tent can be used for decompression of a diver coming up from 50' or 75', but not for divers from several hundred feet. _______________________________________________ GurpsNet-L mailing list <[email protected]> http://mail.sjgames.com/mailman/listinfo/gurpsnet-l
