[chbot] pulling a hard vacuum around a set of wires

[Bevin Brett]

I was thinking about this today.  I wonder if each "wire" is a long tube containing many thin wires, and hence is acting like an air bottle, with the air in the spaces between the thin wires.

If so, then the air would have to travel to the ends of the tube before it can escape, and - when the pressures are very low - this random walk may take a long time.

A possible solution would be to cut windows every cm or so in the plastic tubing.
