Another thing about figuring in a floatation cell....

The whiffle-tree floatation cell has the three basic support points at some
radius from the center. The lap weight and lateral force will sometimes
lever the disk on one point, lifting the glass off of the other supports. If
this happens... pray for a soft landing.
