    Picking up rocks and combing through seaweed?

    I hope you are right... because we are already well past that point.

    The technical term is 'static mixing device'. Making them is a whole industry, especially for nasty chemicals in harsh environments. I'm surprised that there isn't a cheap and simple one out there that can just be repurposed. They are used all over the place. At 40% O2... no idea. Frankly...

    I did not know this about oxygen...

    If you are screwing around with Flourine, you deserve everything you get. Which will probably be dead. That stuff is scary.

    Custom Backplate

    Very true... Hmm. Guess I should send you a PM. Better to have all the information I can get. Nuts, pressure! Now I'll never get it done!

    Custom Backplate

    Exellent, exactly what I was looking for, thank you! I appreciate the offer, I might take you up on that, but I think all I need are the general dimensions from the huporters page. I want to play around with how the harness slots are located and I have access to a laser cutter, I'll make some...

    ...like properties. PLA+ is still Polylactic Acid, but a different blend and with a bunch of additives (like calcium carbonate of all things). According to the actual polymer experts I have worked with, Nylon is going to have the best long term resistance to sun and salt water. Followed by...

    Custom Backplate

    I though I would drag this thread back up... I got my Kraken several months before 'this business' started. It seems like we will be waiting many more months before Bryan/VDH is back up and running with stock of things like backplates. I have however used a couple of very cheap quick-turn metal...

    Check this vintage ad out...

    Yes, my question was about function, not form. The one in the video is a constant flow type iirc, as opposed to 'modern' regulators that are demand type.

    Check this vintage ad out...

    Interesting. Similar to the type from the intro of Sea Hunt? Or an actual demand type?

    Over moderating

    There is another technically focused Forum that I used to be a fairly active member of, that was closely moderated. Sometimes that was because there are strange people on the internet who claim to be people they are not and claim knowledge that they do not have. Sometimes it was because topics...

    3D printing...

    The build-tac flex plate system (well, if you replace the plastic base with a milled aluminium one) is a massive quality of life improvement. Its a shame that with the milled base its rather expensive. But I'm never going back... (well, we'll see how the granite pans out).

    3D printing...

    I basically only print unattended, but I'm using machines I trust (and I know can handle things like un-controlled heater run-away with no serious damage). Plus I'm not going to hang about for the 20+ hour prints. Not that I do many of those any more. PET will quite happily rip chunks out of...

    3D printing...

    Be careful when building an enclosure. Its probably not a big risk these days, but I know of at least one case where a home-built enclosure was involved in a fire that destroyed someones home. Plexiglass (acrylic) is not a good material for enclosures! Perspex (polycarbonate) has a much higher...

    When to call a dive... a question of limits.

    With maybe 18" visibility for the first 10'-15' (basically brown soup)... before breaking through into (dim) good vis, maybe 20'-30'. We dropped right on top of a huge sea nettle. Easily over 8' long, with a ton of buddies around. It was very cool to see, but my buddy didn't want to try and...

    Compressing Hydrogen

    Well, yes that was my point. At depths where replacing the Nitrogen with Helium is partly due to gas density and resulting WOB limits (completely ignoring the fact that those depths are already far below Nitrogen narcosis depths), Neon doesn't give you any help with WOB. No? I'm curious about...
