14.7 should be enough to collapse all the air molecules at sea level.
The vaccum expert, and I mean expert should be along shortly to tell you
the whole story.


If that was true, there would not be any air here.
Check out Boyle's law


Get out 14.7 at sea level, should not be any gas in package. Take that
package to 33' below and if all the air was in it, would be 1/2 size, but
you have almost all the air out except for 1 pound, you are not going to
get 1/2 size.
