So here is another episode to add to the Homebuilders
section. Rebreathers are starting to be more slim and streamlined. Also the
comfort of the unit is high on the wish list of the builder. These wishes
are resulting in very nice units! One of the examples is Alexander Berger's
semi closed rebreather. Although not completely homebuilt, his ideas and
realization of his rebreather project could be well appreciated! |

Here are the highlights of his unit:
Information:
-
Semi Closet Rebreather based on Dräger
Dolphin techniques.
-
The housing offers place for tanks up to 2 x 4 liters
-
Tanks can be connected via the integrated manifold. In
this case you can use 2 gases. Gases can be changed underwater.
-
It's also possible to connect the inflator tubes of your
dry suit, and wing to this manifold. There's also a port for the bailout
second stage.
-
The SCR can be attached to a back plate or a BCD.
-
You can use the original Dräger
first stages as well as Apeks DS4.
Advantages compared to Dräger Dolphin
-
Much more clearly arranged.
-
Provides more options.
-
More gas (up to 8 liters).
-
2 gases.
-
Gases can be changed underwater.
-
Integrated bailout system, which always provides the
current gas.
-
Much more solid housing.
-
Integrated manifold
-
Optimal tube guiding.
