I'll give a brief out line of our new prototype, hopefully it
will be of interest .we didn't want to design a whole new
rebreather , every one has there own way of setting up their RB,
we wanted to build the heart of the system ,the scrubber and
electronics allowing divers to set up the rest as they want. I
teamed up with a good friend of mine Pascal and we put our heads
together and came up with the Camelion. an integrated aluminium
scrubber and electronics pod with integrated stand and lifting
handle. primarily aimed at classic Inspiration owners who can
use all the other parts like lungs wings harness etc but
allowing them to place there own electronics ,ie shearwater,
hammerhead etc setting the system up to suit them. the
electronic pod holds up to 5 cells ,solenoids, 2 or more can
be placed here taking into account future upgrades of
controllers. there are 2 oxygen feeds allowing the user to set
up with full electronic control or a CMF system or both side by
side ,which seems to becoming more popular. there are 3 ports to
connect computer ,hud, and a backup display.The scrubber is
still undergoing design changes ,in the prototype it is a radial
holding over 2.6 kg of scrubber material but still undergoing
testing to see which design is more efficient. On the prototype
the back plate tank holders and parts of the base are made from
titanium. We will be showing this in London, but want to point
out that this is a prototype and is not on the market. We would
like to see if there is a place for something new and we think
different. |
