Apologies for being a bit OT - but I am sure the knowledge is here!
People are now trying to sell O2 is small cans such as (http://www.paramountzone.com/pureoxygen.htm) with 8 lts of O2 costing £11.95 Now I am sure, people here could come up with a cheaper setup (dont get ideas of selling ur o2 in little cans!!) As the user would be concious - a demand valve would be ok (and save gas) What would the cheapest setup be? with the easiest way to get gas? (would you require nitrox card to get pure o2?) Pony with reg? or setup with welding 02 (already discussed) |

Today it is 19-20 percent. " OOps guys if we're using a 21% mix it's enriched! Boll**ks... Density? Air density: (At sea level STP- 1.21Kg/Cm(cubed)) Oxygen: 1.43 Kg/Cm(cubed) Can't see a 30% ratio there anywhere? Any ideas anyone? Trading Standards Phone Number? DaveA |

It's about 25 quid for a 45 Litre J at 200 bar. Add cylinder rental and delivery on top. That's at least 9000 litres. You have to admit the mark up is even more impressive than the hype. nigelH |

I use to work in a hospital and tried O2 quite often for all sorts of
illnesses - especially hangovers! Never seemed to make any real difference - I can see that in muggy london a shot of clear, cool 'fresh' air could help, but honestly - a bit of a con IMO! There are studies showing O2 concentrations in the air using ice cores from glaciers and polar caps, but I doubt they looked at these studies.... Stick to a couple os asprin and a pint of water! |

That's at > least 9000 litres. Can you just ring them up and say it's for diving? Or just ask for medical-grade breathing oxygen? ie. Do they run a mile if you mention scuba? |

My AP rental tanks have "Diving Quality" painted on the side which is breathing without the extra dryness needed for "Aviation Quality". You mention 'scuba' and they think 'customer'. nigelH http://www.nigelhewitt.co.uk/stuff/dq.jpg |

Maybe it depends on the level of hangover - I've found that O2 or Nitrox help with the muggy feeling that's not quiet a hangover Pete diving 'at' melbourne 'dot' me 'dot' uk |

Would you need a nitrox card to get a fill from a dive shop? or would it no apply to 100% 02 - i.e non diving use? |

I take it you do realise that there are many situations where a casulty would not be able to breathe from a scuba regulator. Alun Harford |
