Good articles there Syber  :thumbsup:

I suspect the artist had been watching T3: Rise of the Machines the night before making that rendering  :LOL:

Bet the sub would be loud and the shape is poor if the bubble collapses. Interesting though.

I reckon the second one's a pipe dream. Looks like the artist has been watching T3 and is a thunderbirds fan (original puppet series not the car).

At the speeds they are suggesting for the sub noise is unlikely to be an issue  ;D

if that bubble pops I'm sure it would wreak havoc on the entire frame to the point of destruction with no survivors. just my theory
