Hydraulics:
“With hydraulics you can get up to any kind of compression strength you want. We have never found any limit because it’s noncompressible. And it’s always distributing its loads. And hydraulic will burst anything. You can put a hydraulic pump under a great stone church and lift it just like that! No trouble at all. You lift whole highways with hydraulics. So we’re going to come now with this beautiful high tensile capability getting up in the millions and we’re going to balance that with hydraulics. You’re going to see some fantastically delicate substance coming. I just want to introduce you to some of the strategies and evolutionary things going on when we’re going to do more with less.”
