Revolutionary New Regulator
We just had some discussions Thursday with one of our higher up contacts at a dive equipment manufacturer.
They are in the field testing phase right now with a regulator they claim is consistently demonstrating that it reduces the users gas consumption by 38-44%. That means using an Al 80 cf would be like having a steel 120, or if you use a steel 105 it would be like now having a 150 cf tank.
They state that they think with more development and tuning, they can get the gas consumption figure up to a 50% reduction.
They stated that they know the idea sounds impossible, but it is real, and it is in use right now by test divers and the percentages mentioned are real.
They discussed with us that the technology is simplistic, in execution and inexpensive to produce.
Right now they are working on getting the technology patented, and if that is successful, they think that it will be the most revolutionary dive equipment innovation ever.
Ok, so we think CCR's fit the most revolutionary bill, but they are not for the masses, whereas this regulator is said to be. We're were advised it looks pretty much like a standard single hose regulator and ergonomically was just like a standard reg.
The conversation was interesting in that on its face we too are completely sceptical which is just one of the reasons we're witholding their name, but they are a huge, well known dive equipment company that has been around for a long time and has a huge capital base.
And for the last teaser, they are probably not who you think.
Discussion?
