[snip: questions about oxygenated liquid for deep sea diving]
|
|Its a liquid.
|Basically you fill your lungs with the stuff and its recirculated
|somehow through a system that keeps it topped up with oxygen.
|Stories about it have been going about for a few years, i don't know
|any serious details, but at least the US armed forces have it working
|(don't know how much of the details are classified though, enough is
|know to use it in SR, we need to know what it does not how to build
|one :) ) It solves most of the problems with the bends, and allows
|diving to a much greater depth than does compressed air.
And, on a side note, the stuff has applications for jet
fighters too. Put the pilot in a suit so he can "breath"
the stuff (like the suit from the Abyss), and then fill the
cockpit with liquid. I don't know exactly how it works,
but the pilot can now take more Gs (centripital force)
before passing out. Of course there are a lot of technical
problems to overcome.
