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. When you are talking 7000 PSI you are going to find out the coffee itself is pretty porous. It is a shame that we are on the shallow coast or I would run out to 100' of water or more and drop this thing over, tied to a concrete block and pull it back up, just to see what it does. I like science ;-) I suppose I could make a pressure chamber with PVC pipe and try it that way. Maybe bury it in the yard first in case it blows up but if it was full of water before I start, there really wouldn't be much air in there to "blow". |
