That was much cooler than I thought it would be. It's always interesting to see how things scale. So many times you just can't simply something bigger. At small scale the limits of the material may easily exceed the demands but at a larger scale these can be challenged. In water pipes we think nothing of turning off a valve quickly but in a larger high pressure water main if you shut off a valve quickly it can send a pressure wave back inside the pipe causing it to ruptur somewhere random at a weak point.
