Nice job... out of interest whats the gas gap between the outer scrubber mesh and the inside of the can?

Genesis · 4th October 2006, 22:11

That's a work of art! Very nice!

I'm ever so impressed with your skills and the absolute determination to follow through with your design.

This is the exact process that brought us the Kiss, I would recommend that this be nominated as a innovations on behalf of a homebuilt rebreather and bestow the name that reminds us that it can be done.

"The Gordon Smith award" Perhaps?

Absolutely fabulous!

Hi EBT-

The gap between the inside of the Meg’s can and the Stainless shell is nominally .35”. The gap w/ the stock axial is .25”. I used the stock axial’s diameter of 6.0” as my starting point for sizing the top & bottom. The shell is set back another .10” from that.

Best,
Ken
