+The 1970 Hovertube Project – shown here as a quarter-mile-long prototype – allowed  Graham Stevens to literally walk on water. Graham Stevens walking on water in a polythene cube (http://ssa.nls.uk/film/T0829/74959364) and traverse land, water (and underwater) in his Hovertube (Pontube) project. Hovertube is an inflated transparent polythene tube, which allows you to literally walk on water, and deployed on land can bridge rough terrain with the aid of pneumatic integrity. As well as the beautiful image created by the quarter-mile-long prototype in Cornwall (1970) and captured as a part of the Atmosfields film, this human transportation tube would seem to have any number of practical applications as well as its sensory delights as documented by and described by the artist. Stevens had also seen the physicist Nikolaus Laing talk at the pneumatics colloquium and was interested in his work, which connected the two disciplines of air structures and solar energy. Stevens also cites Farrington Daniels’ influential book (recommended to him by Price) Direct Use of the Sun’s Energy (Yale University Press, 1964).http://jobs.thearchitecturalreview.org/2014/04/03/air-apparent-pneumatic-structures/
