The inside of a balloon is an open space too. As long as the volume
of air entering any space, no matter the size, is greater then the
volume leaving it, the pressure will build. It's just that simple.

It never does. Pressure is equal across the entire pressure
boundary, and a catastrophic failure will occur at the weakest point
whenever the pressure rises sufficiently to do so.

You mean like it does in the cartoons? No, not really. Take a
course in fluid dynamics, and then get back to me.

The size of very large windows. Your own expert said that they were
pinpoint.

LOL! Well, you've finally taken to selective snipping, which is the
final refuge of the person who knows they have lost the debate. The
obvious flaw in your comment is that you think steel has to heat to
2500 degrees before it weakens. :-) Tha's pretty funny.

which does nothing of the kind.
