Hi List,

I am trying to pump Helium although I do not have access to booster =
pump. I have read (in the excellent O2 hackers guide) that it is =
possible by allowing the He to expand to Atmospheric pressure and then =
recompressing it with a normal compressor. Also using a bladder in =
between the cylinder and compressor inlet to regulate the feed pressure.
I was wondering if anyone on the list had actually got any experience in =
doing this and could offer advice.

Thanks in advance
Glyn.
