David Hillman I have a couple of gripes with them. Along the lines of the above one, I remember them doing a "James Bond Movie Myth" one where they tried to jump the speed boat - they concluded that

Concaved also distributes forces, outward toward the rim. If the bottom were flat, pressures would deform it to convexed and the bottom would pull away from the rim. With a concaved bottom, pressures

Yes, but the rim is the weak spot. Note on the Mythbusters video how the end plate is intact, but separated at the corner between it and the walls. The best shape for a pressure vessel is a sphere.

Ok, I think I see your point. That's another reason the bottom might be concave, other than worrying about what happens if it does get pressurized to bursting. Assuming of course it isn't on legs an
