This product is simple, but effective. It consists of two long tanks (for storing the collected gas), four VTOL engines, one cabin, 199,999 nuts and bolts, and three rolls of duct tape.

The process is simple. The operators locate bundles of valuable gases, they move the Gas Mining Platform over the area, and activate the static vaccuum. The vaccuum sucks up only the gas they want because a proton counting filter thing-a-ma-jig allows only that gas to enter. OK, its not that simple, but it works.

The top view shows off the overall structure of the craft.

The roof is loaded with various equipment, like the elemental mapping radar, the communication antenna, and the Octan advertisements.

Here's a shot of the rear. Note the two VTOL engines. They are point in towards the cabin here.

The engines are pointing down here.

The two front VTOL engines and the modest cabin window. There is not much to see when you're in the middle of a gas planet, well except swirling gas.

The underneath!

The cabin is pretty crowded, but it was necessary to have a crew of four. There's just a lot to do when gas mining.

The two workers in the rear monitor tank capacity and pressure.

The forward workers pilot the craft and locate pockets of valuable gas.

The crew of four poses here. Who said being a gas station attendant would never turn in to anything?





Note: All the valuable gas detecting and filtering equipment can be damaged if any of the crew members pass gas. The sudden change in pressure and the appearance of the new gas molecules fool the computers and cause them to overload. NO BEANS ALLOWED!
