You're forgetting that the CC version needs another channel to transmit your exhalations back to the scrubber. Adding the power to run that transmitter to the mouthpiece unit would have made it much too big and bulky, but the engineers have come up with a brilliant space-age solution to that problem. Following some of the speculative research for solar power satellites beaming power back to earth, they've perfected a practical unit that beams power via invisible microwaves from the back-mounted power unit to a power receiver on the mouthpiece unit. Divers will experience a warm tingling feeling in the back of the neck, but are advised not to worry. This even has the benefit that you can tell that your 'breather is working without having to keep looking at any easily-forgotten display units. -- Anthony DeBoer <adb@on*.ca*> -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@aquanaut.com'.
