Subject: Rebreather parts for homebuilders
Date: Sat, 3 Jan 1998 23:45:45 +0100
Several of the companys/people making RB's are selling parts.

I hereby encourage everybody with information about RB parts to post it to
the list or to me :

aaamodt@on*.no*

I'll be collecting the info on public webpages. 

I'm not into rebreathers just for the diving. Diving is the main reason,
but the technology behind is also extremely interesting.

From my point of view, it's better to help and provide the homebuilders
with good info, instead of pointing at how difficult it is. If it's that
fuc..... hard to bulid, how come Bio-Marine, Dräger, Interspiro; Bill Stone
etc. etc.  managed to build machines at all. This is not space technology.
This is concepts known for decades. This is highly possible to carry
through. 
Rebreathers is dangerous, yes I know. I know very well and I will even know
this better after building one.
But I refuse to accepct that any 3-4 day rebreather course could make up
for the knowledge you gain from building the machinery. Prove me wrong.
Take a look at the IANTD rebreather modul 1 og the similar from ANDI. It's
not exactely a rebreather encyclopedia. 

It's very easy to detailed information on how to bulid bombs, jet engines
even nuclear devices. But clear minded, non foggy, concrete recipe how to
design a canister, where to add gas, how to add gas etc etc, is a bit
harder to find. Maybe someone could help me out on this one. And I don't
need another advice from somebodys computer room, telling me it's
impossible and to dangerous. I don't belive it is. And the history proves
me right.

Anyone having balls enough to publish detailed canister design in AutoCad
format ???
Any person out there with a rebreather collection, slide caliper and
AutoCad on the PC ???

It can and will be done. Simple as that.
