(I'd just like to add a disclaimer in that I am very bad at physics and don't understand it at all, so your questions regarding Bernoulli's principle, the jetpack, and looping pockets to create momentum don't make any sense to me -- sorry :( )

- Sure, that's possible. Density doesn't have any factor in pocket capacity. (I was considering adding another limitation in that however heavy the things in your pockets are, you'd feel that weight dragging your body down as if you were actually carrying it, but I thought that might be too hindering.)

- No, that wouldn't work. Pockets can only carry things with physical matter, so no sound waves.

- It can store gasses. I had to look up Bernoulli's principle and will be completely honest when I say that I don't understand it at all, so I'm just going to go with no on that one.

- Yes, pockets can be "aimed" in any direction.

- I honestly don't understand this one at all. (Jetpack one)

- The user physically cannot pocket themselves but they can go inside it normally, just can't close it while they're inside it.

- Do you mean like, if the pocket was horizontal, they placed a board on top of it, and then stepped on it? That would be possible. It'd be just like putting a board over a hole in the ground and then walking on it.

- Pockets can be opened on solid surfaces (must be relatively flat) but not inside objects themselves. The user uses sight and/or touch to determine the placement of pocket openings. So, unless you can see or touch inside someone's body, you probably couldn't open a pocket there. They can be opened in liquids just fine, although then the pocket would just fill with liquid.

- Uhhhh... I don't understand this question at all. (looping pockets to create momentum?)

- Don't know. Whatever kind of charge it provides whenever lightning dust is used in the show? Maybe electric charge was the wrong term to use. I meant like, covered-in-lightning-sparks-and-can-shock-things-it-touches, like Hazel or Nora. I don't really know the science behind it.

- Maybe around 15C/60F? Just the most mild, neutral temperature imaginable. Temperature from the environment it was opened in does not carry into the pocket, so it'll always stay that temperature.

- Not sure what you mean by this question. (how is carrying capacity measured) The capacity of the pocket is measured in volume, if that helps?

- Nah, it'd be like walking into a solid object. When an opening is created, it's like a flat elipse with a glowing rim in the color of the person's Aura. On the opening side, you can see inside it. On the other side (if it's created in the air) it just looks like a solid elipse of pure Aura.

- Yes, if the explosives were set off. Any sort of force from inside the pockets (physical force or just pure willpower) puts strain on the user that will eventually destroy the pocket. So, for example, if someone lit a stick of dynamite, threw it in a pocket, the pocket closed, and then it went off, that would probably destroy the pocket.

- The user can't alter/control things in the pocket at will, e.g. if the user had a gun in there, they can't fire it from within the pocket, they have to actually physically take it out and pull the trigger. The most they could do with just willpower is change the orientation of the object inside the pocket, so that they could reach in and grab a knife by the handle, rather than by the blade.
