Question about Stanford Torus

Disregard my previous comment about vented windows, I
misunderstood.

Bonding the glass part of the pressure vessel wall to
the metallic part will be difficult.

I envisage pre-loaded metallic load reinforcing rods
which pass through the glass and weld into the metallic
walls either side. Also, the window will have to be
hermetically sealed using gaskets, and tongue in groove
design. The window will probably be multi-layer, e.g.
I believe the Shuttle windows are 7 layers with air gaps
between.
