Way too much fancy stuff to read and also for my simple mind to unravel.

Hmm so there must be some breathing technique to simulate it at home?

Hold your breath for a while and try again

You will become hypercarbic well before you become hypoxic

Are they suggesting auto-erotic asphyxiation?? Didn't work well for David Carridine.

Maybe it did. Who knows what end result he was aiming for? It may have been the ultimate chokey-wank.

Apparently you can buy home hypoxic trainers, I've seen ads for them on social media.

As someone who has built more than a few rebreathers, I'm not sure I'd trust a Kevorkian machine put together in China and hawked by braindead influencers that would sell panda blood if it got them an affiliate commission. I'd love to see the safety testing certificates. Maybe the Hot Dive guy sells them?
