Barry, some guy came up to me at DEMA and showed me a small titanium cylinder - about 2 litre. They blow them up to 4500 psi, because that is how high you have to go to get any volume it them, so why do it? It fails the regs, and ruins the compressor. It stresses the hoses and the valve seat, and is total bullshit - that gas wil not compress in a linear fashion anyway. However - this is the way the dive industry thinks - I am glad we mke our own stuff - Good job on the lights On Mon, 13 Jan 1997, Barry Miller <rat@ne*.co*> wrote: > I've had a few people to ask me why I didn't use aluminum to build backup lights. I am no expert, but I do know aluminum conducts electicity. You could put a liner in it, but as George says, that would be like selling fire extinguisher with every Ford Pinto. I'm a hillbilly but I can figure these things out, why do people who build rebreathers with a fatal design flaw, like the Cis-Lunar, continue to design around a bad design? Does it take a dummie like me to point these things out? Or maybe I'm not as dumb as I think I am! Maybe they think you are as dumb as they are! Food for thought! > >Barry > > George M.
