In response to your plethora of a post I did a Google search on what was originally said about this product and the word it isn’t military as I stated, it’s navy. So for the benefit of clarity direct from the horses mouth or should that be snakes tongue, so to speak

the first ever mention of “navy” was in March 2005 enclosed.

Department of Trade and Industry (North East)
CELEBRATION OF NORTH EAST INNOVATION AT RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT AWARDS CEREMONY
Some of the North East's most creative business ideas will be recognised at the Research and Development Awards ceremony, sponsored by the DTI, to be held at Beamish Hall, County Durham today (Monday 7 March 2005)
A total of £1.7 million of grants have been awarded to the 17 winning companies who impressed the judges with their innovation and entrepreneurial spirit.
The diverse collection of business ideas developed by North East companies includes:
* a breathing apparatus device for divers which reuses unused oxygen in each breath - so reducing the gas supply needed and extending the diving time.
* The development of an antibody to treat human respiratory syncytical virus(RSV), a major cause of disease in infants and children worldwide.
* software package that provides the typical non-technical computer user with automatic self-healing capabilities as well as user-friendly information
Case Study
Kevin Gurr Delta P Technology - Gateshead
A revolutionary new way of breathing under water is being developed by a Gateshead company - one of the winners of this year's awards.
Kevin Gurr, of Delta P Technology on the Team Valley in Gateshead, has been awarded £77,000 of his total project cost of £192,000 to develop his "Rebreather" - a special device enabling divers to re-use the last part of each breath giving them more time under water - and a much safer dive.
A keen diver himself Kevin has explored the wreck of the Titanic sister ship, the Britanic, in Greece.
"On dives like that the time you have in the water, and the depths you can go without fear of anything going wrong, is crucial," he said.
"I wanted to develop a system which would give people a longer and safer dive - and we have achieved just that."
Kevin's "Rebreather" gives divers an average seven and a half hours in any depths compared to the seven and a half minutes provided by a single tank at 20 metres.
"The rebreathing idea has been around in the navy in a simple mechanical format for some time now," explained Kevin, "but we wanted to bring it into the 21st century by adding sophisticated computer technology.
"Our new system should be on the market in just a few months."
Kevin's "Rebreather" should be popular with the police and the navy but also recreational divers wanting more time under water and increased safety.
Test dives have been carried out in depths of 130 metres but the finished produce will take divers down to 200 metres.

So just so we are clear.

Your holding up the above comment (that was actually written by a reporter not 'the snake' as you so unbiasly put it) as proof that the Sentinel was designed for military use primarily.

1) The report was talking about the Ouroborous
2) Nobody said the Ouroborous wasnt presented to the Military
3) The reporter was right. kevins rebreather was popular with the navy, as well as recreational divers...afterall both Navy and recreational divers have bought them.

4) So what? what does ANY of this prove or matter?

I dont care if the unit was designed for father christmases little helpers, its still one if not the most capable unit out there.
