A lot of people are talking about the general safety concerns like don't hold your breath and nitrogen buildup, what people aren't talking about is the most dangerous part of this project even to someone who is certified, the bike pump, valves and canister are not made for breathing from, they release oil and particles in the air that comes out making it very dangerous, especially for repeated use.
What you're doing can be made somewhat safe/reliable with a few changes: -Very unlikely that tank will hold 2,000 psi, and if it does you'll probably be super close to material failure and induce metal fatigue.

Jeff Armitage I say that because breathing compressed air can be very dangerous if not properly trained in how to use first off he could introduce bubbles into his bloodstream witch is basically the same as a blood clot or he could get an over expansion lung injury if he isn’t aware that holding his breath at depths can rupture his lungs not only that if he is using a straight air compressor he’s running the risk of breathing contaminated air aswell I’m taking my PADI dive course right now to be a certified diver and if he knew half of the stuff I have learned already he would probably cry himself to sleep because of how at risk he is putting himself it is so dangerous to do what he is doing

@@rapha9125 not even just that. You have to deal with residual nitrogen times, CO2 levels, etc. Even diving to 10 feet you will end up with RNT. These people make scuba out to be easier than it actually is.
nice work but so the reason the second stage reg was leaking to start was the needle valve only controls flow rate not pressure and as u had 200psi the second stage reg can only take about 120 psi max . so it would of leaked till the bottle pressure reached around 120 psi
Well...cool idea for some postapocaliptical scenario where you might need to make a tank out from what is around you, and to risk your life for some greater purpose. Though, for recreational diving this is a straight way to death :)
Kendall, Yeah I actually never claimed that I had been. Of course I don’t have scuba training. What was I born with a silver spoon in my mouth like you?
It's a good idea I've thought about it too because I work for a fire extinguisher company but those extinguisher cylinders can only take about six hundred pounds and that's when they're Hydro tested they're normally setting at 300 lb so if you put 3000 pounds in that thing there's no way it won't rupture
@@NoBrakes now I love the idea because I have dozens of old fire extinguisher sitting around bigger ones to 5 Pounders even 20 pounders which hold the same PSI but a lot more volume! Yours is a 2 1/2 pounder so if you need more time underwater go with a five pounder double your volume great video
Free diving is without a tank. Regardless, you could go 50 feet ish if you pumped it to 2200 psi before you the pressure on the inside was equal to the outside, meaning you couldn't breath. As I where the tank would cave in, I would say that would be around 300-500 feet

DONT do this your lungs will pop if u go to 6 get or more and swim up without decompressing and you will be breathing contaminated air which can cause health problems so if you do do this then you will probs get a ruptured lung

I make air rifles out of fire extinguishers I wouldn't dare pump it up over 300 lbs. If you really took it to 500 lbs I'm a little surprised. Listen scuba is a serious deal. If I was you I'd research it. Be careful.
HPA tanks, no matter what there rating, can go to around 4000 PSI above it. This is a safety caustion built in to prevent tempiture expansion and explosion, over filling, and carelessness
@@gabeporter7427 Really? No shit Dude. I appreciate you telling me that. Do you know anything about metal fatigue? Do I have to worry about that over time?
Wheels Holland Yes, the materials will fail after enough stress cycles. (Whatever the term is) lol please be careful. If you used a home oxygen tank instead of a chemical filled canister you’d probably be better off. 🤷🏻♂️
I think most tanks have a built in excape process. So if the pressure is too high maybe a valve will fail rather than the tank exploding and the metal ripping the guy to pieces.
Pony bottles or a “spare air bottles” especially the spare air bottle would cost similar amounts and actually be safe I believe you can buy a spare air on Amazon it also comes with a a built in reg
Doing this will literally increase your risk of death by a factor which woud shock you. There are veryu good reasons why you need to be acreddited to be a scuba diver. There are many, many things that could cause you serious harm here, not to mention the toxic coatings of the internal cylinder, this would be te least of your worrries as whilst on a SCUBA DIVING PROFFESSIONAL course you learn that for example if you are at a depth of say 10 meters, take a breath and then surfice, your dead! If you are at a depth below this and surfice without knowledge of how pressure effects the lungs, your dead. If you are slightly off in your home made calculation and as water is uncompressable, if your highly pressurised rig fails at ANY depth, the shock wave will kill you, your dead. If you attempt to use kit that is not fully tested and whilst at depth this kit fails, you guessed it, your dead. I guess the take home point would be, if you value your life, for the love of all that is holy, do it the right way, yes it can be expensive however dives can be as little as £50 for some really good experiences that include tested kit as well as a trained master diver. Dont look at videos lie these thinking you can save a few quid as remember what happens? Yeah, DEATH!!!!!! This is an extremely dangerous video as it mentions not 1 of the multiple issues that can kill you before you can react, get the right kit and stay away from these videos, experienced divers have tragically died due to their kit malfunctioning or more commonly nitrogen narcossis. He didnt tell you this did he!!!!!
Every single one of your points referred to issues related to diving at depth. I'm a certified diver and diving at 5 to 10 feet in a swimming pool is much, much different than diving at 30 meters and all that entails. So most of your concerns are not warranted here. The biggest safety issue with this set up are the valves and what would happen if they were to fail. However, even then, the regulator he purchased will open under failure like it is designed to do. I really don't think it is as dangerous as people are making it out to be. I remember well how much they scared the crap out of all of us during my scuba training so it is understandable how you are conflating the dangers of scuba diving with being in a pool at 5'.
@@suburbanhobbyist2752 your obviously not a certified diver, or you received your certification from a cereal box. There are a great many things that come into play such as Boyle's law, among others, this is a fast way to die. No certified diver would disagree.. Point made. As for the certification you show me yours and I will show you mine! Foolish person... Please forgive the lack of reply as your points were so ridiculous your up there with flat Earther's.
@@infinityxtx7276 I am fully PADI certified. Nobody is going to get hurt at 5 to 10 feet dickhead. Beyond that, yes, but that IS NOT WHAT I REFERRED TO.

That's for deep diving, 9 feet in a pool isn't going to create nitrogine bubbles in his blood, the only thing he needs to be careful about is boyles law
Love this project but surcharge the thing and dispose of it you have no idea what they put in those tanks. Just trying to save you from lung cancer or exploding since there is no regulator for pressure.
This is an excellent idea!!! Ill keep this in mind for an apocalyptic event ..In case I need to go diving for cray fish or crossing a zombie infested area under water or maybe an air reserve during a riot where tear gas and smoke bombs are being hurled at me :) I still think its a good idea but have learnt some safety aspects from reading the comment so well done :) Watching from Kiwi Land NZ
If ya really want to, SCUBA classes aren't that expensive! This is dangerous on a multitude of levels. Like kick'in in the stuck branch in the wood chipper... :)
aerospot2 you can’t take a breath w/o a tank, but assuming you knew that, the air in your lungs would expand as you rose up, at 8 meters or basically 30 ft, the volume of air would double, and your lungs would burst. Or you could just not hold your breath.
@@gabeporter7427 Yes, I am a NAUI diver. It is a trained instruction to not hold your breath. However, it is natural to do so, and there is no pain warning before lungs burst. Very dangerous.
Yup he doesn't know the implications of not using proper gear and he needs to learn how to breathe properly and how different gas mixtures effect the lungs , he didnt even use a air filter lmao ...
Ok, the pump has an air filter, and the proper equipment??? Any HPA tanks purpose is to contain air at a high pressure, and then release it at a lower pressure. The type of equipment used has no bearing on whether it is safe, or would work properly.
How about a battery operated air compressor...you can get one with a hose that is used for air mattresses, then attach that to another hose, with regulator and should get longer underwater time. An air compressor on amazon has about 30 minute air time..though is only 160psi with about 3 foot hose so if you add hose have to calculate the reduction in psi ...if 3 feet or deeper best to have 80 psi at least and for short periods..take breaks...
That bicycle pump that you used uses a small amount of oil to make a seal. Some of the oil went into the tank from where you breathed and then into your lungs. You can get a chemical pneumonia. Always use an oiless compressor.
You seem pretty smart..check out the EXOLUNG..endless supply of surface air...brilliant design because you use legs to pump the air in the container and also prevents lungs from filling completely so less chance to rupture lungs...
I'm fairly certain these cylinders are filled with chemicals that are not toxic, but certainly not meant to be aspirated for an extended period of time.
Everyone says it is dangerous but i have a question, i want to use to those kind of small scuba tubes in shallow waters like four or five top. I know its not for deep waters but is it still dangerous?
Yes. Making your own breathing apparatus like this is very dangerous as it is not made to be breathed off of, and has oils in the seals and such. Also when you pump it up with air through a bicycle pump it is not filtered and pure air. Please do not do this
Urworstnightmares yeah, i’m talking about this flimsy little DIY scuba tank made out of a fire extinguisher, not a real tank smart one, real tanks would have better valves
@@urworstnightmares614 an actual scuba tank has a purpose built first stage regulator to reduce the pressure that has been designed and tested by professionals *before* the second stage regulator. breathing underwater is complicated and your comment and others like it are great examples of why no one should be trying to jerry rig stuff like this or do any kind of SCUBA type diving without training
Hydrocarbons from the pump, for one. Carcinogens from the pump hose, for two. And for a real surprise, know that the second stage regulator is manufactured to fail in "free flow" mode. Couple that with the fact tat he is WAY over-pressurizing it, and it's gonna fail. When it does, he's gonna suffer a lung embolism when the tank empties itself into him.
@@deerlakediver5554 won´t happen, the second stage acts as a flow limiter as the outlets diameter is only that big and furthermore the membrane will just dump all the excess air / pressure into the sourounding water..
Dude nice idea , but when it comes in risking your life for a few minutes underwater i would recommend you to buy a normal first and second stage regulators just like i bought and assembled my own mini diving system, and use an aluminium pony bottle that has ratings to 3500+ psi and not some fire extinguisher tank that who knows what chemicals were inside there .
I could see this being useful for an emergency situation and you have no other option.. car crash or whatever.. but i wouldn't recommend this for recreational use.. surely your life is worth more than this cheap diy tank.. I'd at least buy a cheap wish gadget or something of that nature before depending on this contraption.. however it is very cool and i applaud your engineering skills..
@@NoBrakes i tried vice grips, didn't work. I hit the vice grips with a hammer as hard as i could, didn't work. I'm currently using a massive torque wrench and it's still not working lmao
You probably had all this stuff just laying around at your house... But could you put links to all materials used in the description, or reply to this comment with the links?
We aren't in the 50s anymore so there's no need to make scuba tanks out of fire extinguishers. You can buy a small alloy dive tank for 100 dollars with a valve and exponentially increase how safe it is. you can also use 3000psi with no chance of failure.
PLEASE do not do this guys! higher pressure can blow up your installaton if you do not do it right or if it i not sealed well, buy a professional scuba tank, they contain more space and more air, cost will be similar or slightly higher. You can even get an used one with certification. The key thing is to Invest in proper regulator for breathing. This is the most important ! investment and will work for you for years. You will feel more comfortable, more safe and you will be able to stay longer and deeper. Jackets (BCD) are extreamly cheap, get a used one, it will work fine too. Getting a full 250 Bar of scuba tank in some places are 5$ so it is noth worth your time with hand pump and with 250 bars you can stay for 2+ hours or more underwater on low deep.. Have fun, enjoy diving stay safe and invest in gear so you can enjoy time underwater more ;)
Good for you for wearing the helmet on your four wheeler! You are taking a chance if you didn't apply a sunscreen, though. US Deaths from melanoma accounted for close to 7,000 annually. Drowning, a mere 3,500.

Non starete a esagerare un pochino? Cioe il foro italico è 10 metri,una vita passata li dentro,e come me migliaia di ragazzi insieme a fare a gara a chi rimaneva di piu sotto(risalendo all'ultimo quindi rapidissimi) Eppure eccoci qui
Because he is using the needle valves to limit the pressure. This video should be taken down before someone else tries this and hurts themselves badly or dies! 🤦🏻♂️
Most fire extinguishers are rated with a working PSI of 195. 400 PSI is dangerously over pressurized. If you were to be able to cram 1000 PSI (3:00 mins in the video), you're basically holding a ticking bomb. I can't imagine the tank would make it to 3000 PSI (as mentioned in the video) before exploding (or the neck / threads failing). This is truly a case of not knowing what you don't know.
Like others, I applaud the ingenuity, but you gotta check tolerances on this stuff! (I am a SCUBA instructor and am choosing NOT to address all of the other issues / dangers here that other commentors attempted to but were mostly wrong about)
I would be particularly worried about metal shavings and debris going in your lungs. Especially tapping and soft fittings. It is a cool idea but I wouldn’t do it.
Hieuoy After the Aida I plan to do a summer project that takes its cue from the web, but it will be something different. I study every detail thoroughly before each realization. For example in apnea based on the tables that a friend of mine gave me, there is no risk of using simple air up to 10 meters deep. Actually I'd like to replicate a prototype made by Mares.
Back in the 1960's I, with my high school SCUBA club, used to make diving tanks out of used fire extinguishers. But we knew enough to get them professionally cleaned and hydro-statically tested and stamped. And we used professional SCUBA regulators. This was before you needed to be certified to get a tank filled. What you are doing is incredibly dangerous in oh so many ways. Not to mention that your sloppy use of PTFE (teflon) tape could cause pieces to dislodge in the system and be inhaled into your lungs. STOP!
See... Your trying to defend your own “STUPIDITY”. “I added filters” then proceeds to eat a Tide pod. The chemicals that are in that extinguisher will eat the paint off a car.
Man I give you a plus for ingenuity to make something like that work, but messing with those pressures, which those cylinders are NOT DESIGNED to take BTW! Look up Exploding “Scuba Cylinders” people have been killed by poorly checked tanks. A SCUBA cylinder has to be checked ONCE a year or VIP’d and pressure tested every 5 years. Put your ingenuity to better use.
Dude are you still alive , cause it didn’t appear you even cleaned out the tank or parts !! I have to say you have some “BALLS” breathing out that tank , and I applaud your courage to take a chance like that with that home made apparatus 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👏👏👏👏👏 unbelievable..

I make air rifles out of fire extinguishers I wouldn't dare pump it up over 300 lbs. If you really took it to 500 lbs I'm a little surprised. Listen scuba is a serious deal. If I was you I'd research it. Be careful.
HPA tanks, no matter what there rating, can go to around 4000 PSI above it. This is a safety caustion built in to prevent tempiture expansion and explosion, over filling, and carelessness
@@gabeporter7427 Really? No shit Dude. I appreciate you telling me that. Do you know anything about metal fatigue? Do I have to worry about that over time?
Wheels Holland just as much as you would with a normal scuba tank, same material, aluminum
Wheels Holland
Yes, the materials will fail after enough stress cycles. (Whatever the term is) lol please be careful. If you used a home oxygen tank instead of a chemical filled canister you’d probably be better off. 🤷🏻♂️
I think most tanks have a built in excape process. So if the pressure is too high maybe a valve will fail rather than the tank exploding and the metal ripping the guy to pieces.

Yea there's a really good brand that's recommended a lot for about $300, but on wish.com there's a knock off one for about $100.
@@SoaringSparrow why would you trust your life to a cheap 'knock off'?
Doing this will literally increase your risk of death by a factor which woud shock you.
There are veryu good reasons why you need to be acreddited to be a scuba diver.
There are many, many things that could cause you serious harm here, not to mention the toxic coatings of the internal cylinder, this would be te least of your worrries as whilst on a SCUBA DIVING PROFFESSIONAL course you learn that for example if you are at a depth of say 10 meters, take a breath and then surfice, your dead!
If you are at a depth below this and surfice without knowledge of how pressure effects the lungs, your dead.
If you are slightly off in your home made calculation and as water is uncompressable, if your highly pressurised rig fails at ANY depth, the shock wave will kill you, your dead.
If you attempt to use kit that is not fully tested and whilst at depth this kit fails, you guessed it, your dead.
I guess the take home point would be, if you value your life, for the love of all that is holy, do it the right way, yes it can be expensive however dives can be as little as £50 for some really good experiences that include tested kit as well as a trained master diver.
Dont look at videos lie these thinking you can save a few quid as remember what happens? Yeah, DEATH!!!!!!
This is an extremely dangerous video as it mentions not 1 of the multiple issues that can kill you before you can react, get the right kit and stay away from these videos, experienced divers have tragically died due to their kit malfunctioning or more commonly nitrogen narcossis.
He didnt tell you this did he!!!!!
Just about to comment on the stuff in the air tank
Every single one of your points referred to issues related to diving at depth. I'm a certified diver and diving at 5 to 10 feet in a swimming pool is much, much different than diving at 30 meters and all that entails. So most of your concerns are not warranted here. The biggest safety issue with this set up are the valves and what would happen if they were to fail. However, even then, the regulator he purchased will open under failure like it is designed to do. I really don't think it is as dangerous as people are making it out to be. I remember well how much they scared the crap out of all of us during my scuba training so it is understandable how you are conflating the dangers of scuba diving with being in a pool at 5'.
@@suburbanhobbyist2752 your obviously not a certified diver, or you received your certification from a cereal box.

Love this project but surcharge the thing and dispose of it you have no idea what they put in those tanks. Just trying to save you from lung cancer or exploding since there is no regulator for pressure.
great idea for an air power rc truck...!!
How did you clean the tank and what pump do you use I’m going to try this
for the love of all that is good. DON'T! Other comments have already said it. YOU WILL GET INJURED BY THIS!
Tactical 2 Wheels I know I just realize how dangerous
Just buy a 5l diving tank, theyre not that expensive
This is an excellent idea!!! Ill keep this in mind for an apocalyptic event ..In case I need to go diving for cray fish or crossing a zombie infested area under water or maybe an air reserve during a riot where tear gas and smoke bombs are being hurled at me :) I still think its a good idea but have learnt some safety aspects from reading the comment so well done :) Watching from Kiwi Land NZ
imagine if both of the needle valves fail. Mans would be ballooned
If ya really want to, SCUBA classes aren't that expensive! This is dangerous on a multitude of levels. Like kick'in in the stuck branch in the wood chipper... :)
Do your research, if you read an article on scuba online then you would know how've uncomplicated these things are.
@@gabeporter7427 Go down 8 meters, take a deep breath, hold it in and head for the surface. What happens?
Isnt it the price of the equipment that is a big problem? Thats why he made this video...
aerospot2 you can’t take a breath w/o a tank, but assuming you knew that, the air in your lungs would expand as you rose up, at 8 meters or basically 30 ft, the volume of air would double, and your lungs would burst. Or you could just not hold your breath.
@@gabeporter7427 Yes, I am a NAUI diver. It is a trained instruction to not hold your breath. However, it is natural to do so, and there is no pain warning before lungs burst. Very dangerous.
I like it
good luck making it to your next birthday dude
Yup he doesn't know the implications of not using proper gear and he needs to learn how to breathe properly and how different gas mixtures effect the lungs , he didnt even use a air filter lmao ...
Just hope nobody copy’s this and kills them self
Ok, the pump has an air filter, and the proper equipment??? Any HPA tanks purpose is to contain air at a high pressure, and then release it at a lower pressure. The type of equipment used has no bearing on whether it is safe, or would work properly.
Fucking idiot
@@BigVanSmallWorld yeah ikr i did it and now i'm dead whoops
How about a battery operated air compressor...you can get one with a hose that is used for air mattresses, then attach that to another hose, with regulator and should get longer underwater time. An air compressor on amazon has about 30 minute air time..though is only 160psi with about 3 foot hose so if you add hose have to calculate the reduction in psi ...if 3 feet or deeper best to have 80 psi at least and for short periods..take breaks...
Sir how many hour function of 1.5liter scuba tank?
That bicycle pump that you used uses a small amount of oil to make a seal. Some of the oil went into the tank from where you breathed and then into your lungs. You can get a chemical pneumonia. Always use an oiless compressor.
Old Glory, i used a oil less high pressure hand pump, also I like your name.
@@NoBrakes Good, I'm glad to hear that.
You seem pretty smart..check out the EXOLUNG..endless supply of surface air...brilliant design because you use legs to pump the air in the container and also prevents lungs from filling completely so less chance to rupture lungs...
Great job, macgyver, I will make this as well , one simple question , what did you use for a pressure garage, was it water proof, thanks
It is a waterproof gauge
I know the rest of the parts I can get from Homedepot but where did you buy the gauge from, thanks again and God Bless.
ace hardware/amazon
Way to go man
I'm fairly certain these cylinders are filled with chemicals that are not toxic, but certainly not meant to be aspirated for an extended period of time.
Everyone says it is dangerous but i have a question, i want to use to those kind of small scuba tubes in shallow waters like four or five top. I know its not for deep waters but is it still dangerous?
Yes. Making your own breathing apparatus like this is very dangerous as it is not made to be breathed off of, and has oils in the seals and such. Also when you pump it up with air through a bicycle pump it is not filtered and pure air. Please do not do this
Breathing compressed air underwater with no proper training and proper and serviced equipment can present many dangers and should be avoided.
dude, 3,000 psi???? if that valve bursts, your lungs will disintegrate
edit: i know he had that at 500 psi, but still, that is very dangerous
Nice profile pic.
Urworstnightmares yeah, i’m talking about this flimsy little DIY scuba tank made out of a fire extinguisher, not a real tank smart one, real tanks would have better valves
NoBrakes thanks
@@urworstnightmares614 an actual scuba tank has a purpose built first stage regulator to reduce the pressure that has been designed and tested by professionals *before* the second stage regulator. breathing underwater is complicated and your comment and others like it are great examples of why no one should be trying to jerry rig stuff like this or do any kind of SCUBA type diving without training

Congratulations on the idea, I'll do it.
Almost complete. If you continue using this invention the only thing you will need is a Coffin. Stop using this Please !!!.
kikeelmacho any reason why?
Hydrocarbons from the pump, for one. Carcinogens from the pump hose, for two.
And for a real surprise, know that the second stage regulator is manufactured to fail in "free flow" mode. Couple that with the fact tat he is WAY over-pressurizing it, and it's gonna fail. When it does, he's gonna suffer a lung embolism when the tank empties itself into him.
Hey Randy, Mark Turney has a awesome professional answer.Diving is a fun activity when you have the knowledge.
@@deerlakediver5554 won´t happen, the second stage acts as a flow limiter as the outlets diameter is only that big and furthermore the membrane will just dump all the excess air / pressure into the sourounding water..
Dude nice idea , but when it comes in risking your life for a few minutes underwater i would recommend you to buy a normal first and second stage regulators just like i bought and assembled my own mini diving system, and use an aluminium pony bottle that has ratings to 3500+ psi and not some fire extinguisher tank that who knows what chemicals were inside there .
You DID purge all the Halon out of that fire extinguisher tank? Right?
I hope so
nooo he kept all of it in bc its more fun that way
The Halon helps with breathing under water. It gives a 25%+ buff
That’s what I was thinking! Is he breathing all that in too? Sure hope not.
Yeah he didn't mention anything about rinsing it out, and I wouldnt doubt it lol he couldn't remember what a gauge was called
Hey, man! very cool your scuba tank! What pieces did you use to make the system? Thanks!
Omg as soon as I saw the plumbers tape on the threads I had to pause and scroll down to the comments...
I could see this being useful for an emergency situation and you have no other option.. car crash or whatever.. but i wouldn't recommend this for recreational use.. surely your life is worth more than this cheap diy tank..

I used an open end wrench, and if you stripped the bolt, then try vice grips.
@@NoBrakes i tried vice grips, didn't work. I hit the vice grips with a hammer as hard as i could, didn't work. I'm currently using a massive torque wrench and it's still not working lmao

New subscriber sir
We aren't in the 50s anymore so there's no need to make scuba tanks out of fire extinguishers. You can buy a small alloy dive tank for 100 dollars with a valve and exponentially increase how safe it is. you can also use 3000psi with no chance of failure.
PLEASE do not do this guys!
higher pressure can blow up your installaton if you do not do it right or if it i not sealed well, buy a professional scuba tank, they contain more space and more air, cost will be similar or slightly higher. You can even get an used one with certification. The key thing is to Invest in proper regulator for breathing. This is the most important ! investment and will work for you for years. You will feel more comfortable, more safe and you will be able to stay longer and deeper. Jackets (BCD) are extreamly cheap, get a used one, it will work fine too. Getting a full 250 Bar of scuba tank in some places are 5$ so it is noth worth your time with hand pump and with 250 bars you can stay for 2+ hours or more underwater on low deep.. Have fun, enjoy diving stay safe and invest in gear so you can enjoy time underwater more ;)
this guy isnt going to fckin explore atlantis he is is in a 5 foot pool it wont explode at that depth
Your creativity and journalstic intregady do impress me it is bad but its beter then scrorkal or spair air tanks

How does the regulator dont break its suppose to resist only about 140 psi but u pushed it to 500 how ?

Nice work Dude legend
Idk dude a zp-10 tankist scuba set is like $20 and comes with a mask, straps, and what not, with enough oxygen for an hour
Most fire extinguishers are rated with a working PSI of 195. 400 PSI is dangerously over pressurized. If you were to be able to cram 1000 PSI (3:00 mins in the video), you're basically holding a ticking bomb. I can't imagine the tank would make it to 3000 PSI (as mentioned in the video) before exploding (or the neck / threads failing). This is truly a case of not knowing what you don't know.
Like others, I applaud the ingenuity, but you gotta check tolerances on this stuff! (I am a SCUBA instructor and am choosing NOT to address all of the other issues / dangers here that other commentors attempted to but were mostly wrong about)
I would be particularly worried about metal shavings and debris going in your lungs. Especially tapping and soft fittings.

Back in the 1960's I, with my high school SCUBA club, used to make diving tanks out of used fire extinguishers. But we knew enough to get them professionally cleaned and hydro-statically tested and stamped. And we used professional SCUBA regulators. This was before you needed to be certified to get a tank filled. What you are doing is incredibly dangerous in oh so many ways. Not to mention that your sloppy use of PTFE (teflon) tape could cause pieces to dislodge in the system and be inhaled into your lungs. STOP!
