In a nutshell, it's a small/lightweight (~60lb?) high-pressure compressor no longer made, originally used by the US Air Force in aircraft - so it's pretty well spec'd. Also by default runs off nominal 27VDC - so highly suitable for install in a PSUB, if you can handle the current draw, noise and 2cfm flowrate.</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465597199744_2663"><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465597199744_2578">Well in the course of my business, I sold a SCUBA nitrox mixing stick to a guy in Canada who mounted it on a Cornelius compressor - see a picture of the final setup he sent me (if the recent discussions of email vs Facebook haven't put you off!):</div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465597199744_2580"><a id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465597199744_2579" href="https://www.facebook.com/tfmengineeringaust/photos/a.754931991306953.1073741830.754476911352461/858648047602013/?type=3&theater" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/tfmengineeringaust/photos/a.754931991306953.1073741830.754476911352461/858648047602013/?type=3&theater</a></div><div><br></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1465597199744_2572">Anyway, we got to talking and he said he got the compressor from a bloke in Florida. I made contact and discovered this bloke has a whole lot of them that he is slowly setting up and selling as fully functional breathing air compressors (they are old but apparently well preserved and have only a few hours - he runs them in). He also has parts as well for anyone like Hank who already has a unit. I'm contemplating bringing a few into Australia to on-sell.</div><div><br></div><div>In case anyone is interested, his name is Paul Deverell, with email <font color="#555555"><a href="mailto:pauldeverell@ymail.com" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" ymailto="mailto:pauldeverell@ymail.com">pauldeverell@ymail.com</a> and phone number +1 </font><a href="" rel="nofollow">786-367-3365</a></div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div>Steve</div></div></div><br>_______________________________________________<br>Personal_Submersibles mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org" ymailto="mailto:Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org">Personal_Submersibles@psubs.org</a><br><a href="http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles" target="_blank">http://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles</a><br><br><br></div> </div> </div> </div></div></body></html>
