If you want *really* cheap, check out the oxyhacker
web site (I don't remember the URL, sorry).

As of a few months ago, they were saying they were
writing a book on how to build a $100 o2-clean booster.

The only catch is that it is human-powered, but I think
they were planning on plans for an electrically powered one 
in the book.

Anybody know the URL and if the book is out yet?  Hand pumping
isn't a bad alternative for rebreathers, where you're usually
only dealing with a dozen cubic feet of gas, and the thing
is portable as hell.

Thanks,

-Will
