Here’s how I achieved in 30mins that which a global design team struggled with for months if not years
So we have new technology = proton-beam
The problem was a high RPM spinning shaft, going through a fire compartment wall & how do you make the fire seal.

Traditional fire stopping wouldn’t work eg
Intumescent seals would heat activate with the shafts RPM friction
Proprietary fire stopping systems or collars would have the same issue
We had to separate the patient treatment from the plant areas
This was urgently needed tech
