    OK. How did you come across this one?

    Pure serendipity. I don’t even remember where I found the link, but it was in my email.

    How do you think the Chinese feller made use of it?

    Hmmmm! A combustion usage would require some pressure. Maybe they’ve got a set up where they put the bag(s) of gas in a sort of vice like apparatus with a spring, connect it to a pipe with a regulator, release the spring and presto, pressureized gas delivered. will work as long as the spring isn’t too strong. Gas pressures aren’t very high as I recall.

    Your imaginings oh fellow engineer type person.

    I was thinking more along the lines of getting it from the bag (I wonder how much pressure the gas is under) to an existing storage tank. Your idea sounds patentable to me.

    I wonder where the thief found a handy spigot to fill his big bladder? Or what was the original use of the bladder?

    OK, that’s it. My head hurts.

Got something to say?
