In a "g suit" hooked up to an automatic air-compressor system, I felt a giant's fist pressing into my belly, two pairs of giant hands around my thighs and calves, to retard the flow of blood to the feet and reduce the risk of blackout. Belatedly I remembered to try the "M1 maneuver"-tensing the abdominal muscles to reduce the blood drainage still more...

...pump operates by electricity, uses a motor compressor and coils much like a refrigerator to keep the house at comfortable temperatures. In summer it draws the hot air out of the house through ducts, runs it over a refrigerated coil, circulates the cooled air back through the house. In winter, the pump draws in the cold outside air, picks up heat from it by passing it over an even colder coil; the heat is then transferred by fluid to a compressor, which raises the fluid to a high temperature, passes it to a second coil used to heat inside...
