A simple and non-expensive reference on that subject is: "Microprocessor Application to Multi-Level Diving", written by Karl Huggins. This was available from Michigan Grant Sea College for 5$ (5 years ago). Farallon, KS and other analog, pneumatic computers are described. Interestingly enough, although the idea of simulating absorbtion and elimination of N2 through soft membranne seems to be a good idea, none of these computers, with the possible exception of the KS device was reliable (from what I understood). Michel MTHERRIEN@sh*.mo*.mm*.sh*.co* PS: If I remember correctly, the original KS pneumatic dive computer included 4 compartments arranged in PARALLEL. They modified the original computer to a serial model after they had done some test with the parallel version. ---------- From: owner-techdiver To: David Doolette; techdiver Subject: Re: physical tissue models Date: 16 February, 1995 10:30 David -- >reminds me of the old SOS "bend-o-matic" dive computer with the gas bag, >substance X filter, and bourdon tube metre. > >Also reminds me of the original Kidd-Stubbs pneumatic dive computer with >serial compartments connected with small orifices to simulate/regulate gas >diffusion. Ok, do you have any details on these? And don't you think that, here in the 90's, there might be better materials such as gels? -- Robert -------------------------------------------- E-mail: RLaird@pe*.co* (Robert Laird) Phone : 713-627-4323 Fax: 713-989-3086 Houston, TX -------------------------------------------- 02/16/95 08:30:51 -- Send mail for the `techdiver' mailing list to `techdiver@opal.com'.
