Well, darling, that tiny hole on aerosol cans is there to prevent them from exploding under pressure. It allows air to flow into the can, equalizing the pressure inside and outside. So next time you're spraying your hairspray or air freshener, just remember that little hole is there to keep things from getting too explosive.

Is it possible to interconnect two apartments one on top of each other by drilling a large hole in the concrete ceiling and then fitting a spiral staircase?

Technically it's possible, but it needs a lot of knowledge of concrete, and of where exactly the support for the floor is. We are not talking about a small hole, for an average circular staircase, the hole would have to be at least 6 feet diameter. The concrete is likely to be 'stressed', in other words containing steel cables which would make cutting it very difficult. That's a big chunk out of a floor. It may even need to be supported on the edge of this hole in at least 2-3 places.

Is it acceptable to allow each phase cable of a three phase system to enter the power panel separately on a hole with a plastic gland on top of panel considering the induction heating?

No. The hole through the panel constitutes a single turn transformer winding, and will dissipate power because it is effectively short-circuited. You need to either relieve the hole with a slot, or penetrate the hole with all three conductors, which will cause cancellation of the current flow.
