    Nice video. Rebreathers seem a bit dodgy I would be scared to use one even with appropriate training.

      If you use a modern serviced one and are trained they are perfectly safe, like most things.

  • @mraurum2122
    @mraurum2122 4 роки тому +3

    Answering your doubt, what happens is that the container holds a chemical compound that reacts with CO2 to produce O2, normally this compound can be any Alkali metal peroxide like: Li2O2, Na2O2, K2O2, etc.
    The reaction is the following:
    2Li2O2 + 2CO2 → 2Li2CO3 + O2
    As you can see the lithium peroxide (Li2O2) in this case is taking in 2 moles of CO2 and only making 1 mole of O2, this means that form the 100% CO2 gas you are only getting 50% O2 gas, which means that the other 50% is a partial vacuum, thus making the air thinner.
    Now in days firefighters use Potassium superoxide (KO2) to do the same reaction without having that problem.
    The reaction is the following:
    4KO2 + 2CO2 → 2K2CO3 + 3O2
    As you can see, you are getting 3 moles of O2 from the 2 moles of CO2, the air can't get thinner.
    Hopefully it was helpful :)

    Another great video mate. I have to agree with you regarding the use of IP-4, IP-4m and IP-5 rebreathers for SHTF applications. The rebreather canisters are indeed very dangerous as they contain volatile Potassium superoxide (I think?) My IP-4M has special heat resistant padding on the haversack as the reaction can cause temperatures up to 40C. It all sounds a little dodgy to me. Russian rebreathers are great for collecting but NOT for prepping. Best wishes mate!

    • @Weaponsandstuff93
      @Weaponsandstuff93  6 років тому

      Yeah I have an IP-4M with the scrubber unit now as well, video will be up for that soon, I'd only ever risk using it in a proper life or death situation, but for general use, a respirator with spare filters is a much more economical and safer idea.

    Maybe not Scrubbing CO2 From O2, since CO2 Contains 2 Atoms of Oxygen already, so you might say that it either "scrubs" Carbon from the CO2 which you inhale through the Rebreather, from the Enviroment in which the user happens to be , or you can say that it scrubs Carbon from the CO2 which you exhale and then inhale already, in the form of the O2, with the Carbon being trapped in the Part of the rebreather, responsible for the chemical reaction.

    Mainpoint : get gas masks but use them as collectable items (old ones) dont use them for serious buisness. If you wish to get rebreathers so much i think we all agree you could get new ones and research a bit before using them , besides why would u use rebreathers for diving if you have scuba gear?

    • @Weaponsandstuff93

      Rebreathers work in deeper water than scuba gear, look up deep divers, they have to use rebreathers as air tanks won't work at certain depths.

    Yup, you are right. You would probably not even notice you are about to lose consciousness. At some point you'll mostly be breating nitrogen, feel kinda like you are drunk from the lack of oxygen and then pass out. thats the usual symptoms from nitrogen asphyxiation.
    In fact, since 2015 they allow nitrogen asphyxiation as a secondary execution method in oklahoma. Was never done before, but it was allowed. In many states they still use gas chambers (almost medival compared to the ones the nazis used), electric chairs or even firing squads for that(Utah (re-)introduced those in 2015). But now they chose nitrogen gas aspyxiation because theoretically that should be pretty humane.

    • @jort93z
      @jort93z 6 років тому +2

      Well, i'd prefer the nitrogen asphyxiation.
      But their cyanide gas chambers are really bad. Sometimes people don't die after 10 minutes but vomit, urinate and drool instead. The ones of the nazi's took 3-15 minutes(according to the commander of ausschwitz anyway, who should have a big enough sample size), so pretty much no different in time. But at least their gas was odourless and colorless while they literally generate it below the chair in the US rather than just using capsules. Also the one from the US is vastly more expensive, more expensive than the injection even.
      You'd think they made it any better in half a century.
