Subject: Rebreather complexity
Regarding Bill Stone's article "Designing a Fully Redundant Life
Support System" in AquaCorps N12...

Is this anything new, or is it (complete redundancy) something found
in all rebreathers?

In designing a system in which any system component can fail and be
sufficiently backed up so as to cause neither a mission failure or a
system failure, it would seem that the intent is to increase the
safety of the CCR system, but would the inherent complexity in such a
design not be in itself a hazard?

Has anyone on the list received training on the Cis-Lunar units that
can attest to their complexity, and whether or not the complete system
redundancy is justified?

As a side note, what are the most significant changes in the MK V unit
from the MK IV?
