You've got to be kidding! Why not just breathe through your mouth when cutting an onion. Or, actually what works best in my case is wearing my contact lenses! This is a classical example of people using science for stupid reasons just because they can.

There is an urban legend of that sort. NASA spent millions of dollars developing Space Pen that would write in zero gravity in extremes of temperature while Russians just used Pencils.

The best advice I heard was to cool the onion, to reduce the amount of the volatile "tear factor", and most of all, work quickly!

i get the feeling ive mentioned this before but pencils clogged up delicate filters and left splinters floating - they were not appropriate for long term use - thus the pen (which the russians now use)

True. That's why I say it as 'urban legend'. Both the sides were using pencils before till someone came up with the space pens. NASA did not fund the research but that was independent research and they sold their production to both americans and also russians.
