Self-Hypering Camera From Taurus-Tech??????

Really??

I'm amazed at this thread.
Either Taurus has discovered something we don't know (doubtful) or everything 
we have all learned about hypering ( by trial and error) is invalid. 
Or it may just confirm what we already knew, that hypering is a 'black art' 
and nobody really knows how and why it works????

I, for one, don't believe either of the above. (especially with Tech Pan)
The hypering process has been  well documented since the 1970's.
Of course there are degrees of hypering, ranging from the simple hand 
pump-multiple flush-bake approach that Lumicon popularized to the hard 
vacuum-serious dessication  -hydrogen-bake many of us perform.

The Taurus camera is an interesting concept, but the amount of actual speed 
gain and reciprocity failure reduction (hypering) it will provide is 
miniscule at best.
