This regulator is NOT new !
It has been announced in the april-edition of the german "unterwasser".
In the next edition (may) some divers wanted to be beta-tester (no   
kidding).
By the way: They are going to make a hogarth-version for this years April   
magzine maybe,
it is coming with a long-range transmitter similar to the long-hose !!
One main-problem is when divers swap regulators by accident, because then   
the
one diver is breathing of the other divers tank. When out of range this   
might suck !

Next thing to come: stage-tanks with magnetic attachment to harness.
The problem here: Where to put the D-Rings then ??
I might ask a Tattoo-shop if they can do some cool piercings.
Bondage-Wing-dudes might clip the stages to D-Rings attached to their   
nipples.
Cool Tekkie-Dudes can clip the Reel somewhere beneath the crotch-strap...

Folks, a new regulator will be introduced a DEMA this year that consists
of a revolutionary new type of first stage that attaches to a scuba tank
as usual. A special proprietary transmitter attaches to the low pressure
port and delivers the contents of the scuba tank- without a hose- to the
second stage that is equipped with a proprietary gas receiver. Each
transmitter is set at a different frequency so that you cannot
inadvertently send your gas to your buddy who is using a similar device
and comes into range of yours. A spare second stage equipped with a
receiver can be carried in your BC pocket for redundancy or to give to
another diver in trouble for buddy breathing ( the in-trouble diver must
stay within 100 yards of your transmitter to receive your gas supply).   
 In
this way, you can stay far away from a panic stricken diver and yet   
supply
them with breathing gas. This system revolutionizes existing scuba   
systems
and makes issues he the long hose or short moot. It is made in France.
This is all I know but I will see it at DEMA.
