If he wants to electrocute himself, wouldn't it be simpler to do it above water

Thanks,

Yea I heard about this technology on the discovery channel and my first thought was how perfect that would be for a rebreather...cool stuff.

yo all

I like to expand a little to the tounge expereinces out there on rebreathers ... since I had two that almost cost me once the tip of it and second almost the whole thing ...

worst case .. loosing the whole thing: during Wakulla II participation we developed the Cis MK5P. We used the backup unit to descent, inflate the main unit on the weay down. When at max dept, some 85 meters we switched over to the main unit to bring it up to speed and dive it. When switching over I had my tounge sucked into the mouthpiece, big time .... I somewhat managed to create a vacum in the loop, actually damaging one of them expensive hoses and it took me a moment of thinking how to get my tounge out ... but I did in the end ... very nasty and painfull ...

just half of it .. the tip is importand too: during some dive on my Meg I believe I was getting bored, exploring my mouthpiece with my tounge .. when still bored I thought I practice some drills and go off loop ... with my tounge sticking to far inside ... and getting it almost cut off by the rotating drum inseide and its sharp edge ... good machining ...

Needless to say that I still have my piece in one and its just working fine ....

Greetings from Zanzibar
