I have two different friends here on the net who are thinking and planning on building rebreathers, hopefully for eventual resale to the rest of us. Each has asked me several general questions and asked that I post the questions here. They'll each get to see the responses that way. Primarily and simply, the questions relate to what features, such as deep rating, time, costs etc. would be most important. Likewise, since the technology isn't all that secret, if $$ is not in issue how would you build one? That is to say how much automation would you use vs. manual control. Who you go semi closed or fully closed? Would you want the ability to repack your own Co2 absorber or just replace a canister? That is how cheap do you except the maintence to really be. What kind of price tag will these support? How many of us are really ready, for example, excluding Rich, to plunk down $15,000? Lastly, what would you name the device? Hopefully, the friends will give credit to us all if they go ahead with development! Harold Gartner hgartner@ra*.or* CompuServe ID 71470,1423 6900 Via Alba Camarillo, California 805 482-9743
