How, preytell?  Can you explain how such a pump would work?  Jearn doesn't
have engineers like purdue, so you are on even ground.  Vacuum is a one
shot permanant effect that moves a volume of air.  the air can move back,
and will try to.  I am curious if you come up with a way...  but really,
if you do, I just might have to build my own orbital supersonic spaceship.
