Subject: Re: Diving related question about Helium.
Jim,

Maybe you or Landon would be interested in the new Helium generator we're 
developing. Its really pretty simple. You pour in a little distilled 
water, turn a couple knobs, throw a switch, and laboratory grade helium 
comes out a pvc pipe on one end; and the whole thing operates on 12 
volts. The only problem is we are trying to figure out how to dissipate 
all the heat the darned thing gives off. Should be ready for market by 
DEMA '99.
