Re: shock wave as pressure builds in a vacuum?

Options include:
-- toughening up the membrane.

waveform can be spread out even a little bit (a
smallish multiple of the round-trip time across
the cell) the peak pressure will be a lot less.

And what about a "fuse" to protect the essential
membrane? A large high vacuum cavity with a
membrane weaker that the one to be protected.
