Anybody can scrounge a car battery. Batteries wear out very quickly when deep cycled, especially car batteries. Lithium batteries have a lifespan even when not used at all. Ten years, no batteries, end of story.
I am hoping there is no poisonous oil lubrication in that compressor. Surface supplied divers conduct regular gas quality checks on their compressors. They also have HP backup bottles and dive control systems that can switch between compressor and backup gas. Along with communications.
It is an oil-less pump, I use one on my gold dredge. I have a inline tank though with filters. I use it MAX. 10 feet, works fine. Add a solar panel and charger and run all day on one charge.
please by courtesy, what type of compressor is being used. What kind of engine .. I would like to know. because I feel like doing one for me. also. thankful. im in Brazil
IF the end of the world is near, I wouldn't want to survive to see what would happen after the catastrophe has passed. Instead, i'll just wait for my possible death while listening to some Iron Maiden, because we would all know when the wild wind blows...
I'd prefer to go freediving, I'm a prepper and freediving is easier for me. Coz I prefer to be able to move freely. Been two situations similar to apocalyptic, been Ina town sieged by rebels and a killer quake when I was a kid. Believe me, best thing is be mobile. Freediver even snorkelers only need a knife, a spear and a mask. Oh and I have 8 months worth of food and meds stashed in two separate locations.
Not really, to fill a scuba tank required a very high and expensive compressor which not easy afford by unusual diver. You can buy a scuba kit, but to refill the tank in America, you need a diving license. Overall, using a scuba system is more professional but very expensive to maintenance. A hookah diving system is more suitable and affordable for people who not often diving and just dive in not very deep water.
All in good fun. I would like to try a two/four person railcar style pump with a manual gearbox, that can be hooked up to a compressor, with an air tank and regulator. Or a band saw, forge hammer, grist mill, a cutting wire, a generator to make electricity or hydrogen. (It really goes on and on.) In this case it can be mounted on a boat for both propulsion and the compressor.
I suspect they are trying to get this up and running because it requires little in the way of energy if you can get a scuba system with a tiny compressor solar panel and a battery I say that is a great idea. I know places where one could harvest clams that make pearls these clams sell for about a dollar each back in the 80's I suspect they cost even more now either way you can get enough to make the trip worth it in an hour. We could get the clams no tank just swimming so they are plentiful.
SCUBA, Self contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. What that guy built is a Surface-supplied diving rig.
SSDR
Take a "Spare Air" can for safety; that wayy if your pump fails, you still have a seperate independent scuba system to get you to the surface.

Yes, its called snuba... Kinda a combo between snorkeling and scuba

When the battery and you notice your in the bottom
Depth Gage, Scissors / Knife, and a Dive buddy are all standard equipment for any scuba diver. he should know that.

Ola Wilson. Esta mensagem sua ja tem 6 anos. Consegiu saber que compressor usar? Obrigado
By definition, it's not SCUBA.
Yes make preps stock piles incredibly difficult and time consuming to retrieve
Or, just a thought. Use a scuba tank.
This is NOT tankless scuba. Tis is not a new idea either. Remember hard suit diving?
SCUBA? In Australia? I'd rather take my chances with the zombies.
That's not scuba... SCUBA stands for SELF CONTAINED underwater breathing apparatus.
Correct Joe. That's my point as well.
What can of Air compressor use
How deep can u dive on that compressor?
What do you guys think the chances are that this guy is still alive?
From this setup...100%

No water or oil trap. Not healthy breathing that into your lungs

What part of Self Contained did he not get?
Yeah. I mean he could use the pump to fill his tanks on shore.
This guy is a clown, but most people on that show are.

Looks complicated and getting the parts is difficult. Just buy a tank
How would you fill it after empty? This is a GREAT idea.
That's quite a cool little thing. I recon these preppers just like messing around in the garage mainly.
The c is for container,, so you mean tankless suba,,, l guess, or sfba,, self floating breathing apparatus

shallow water till 6meter depth max?
I was going to call you out but I am going to have to agree with you. Some of your videos are very relaxing to watch. Do you live in Vancouver?
Put solar panels and a charge regulator
I already love this guy
great for the James river I have a few holes I like to hit and wish to stay down a lil longer.nothing more than 10 feet when the river is real low
What happened to all these cannels? They all turned to crap.

They sell these compressor rigs off the shelf
It uses a car battery, which can be easily scavenged in a survival situation.
I use to live in Vancouver for 20 Years ,But now live on Vancouver Island and try to make cool videos .
Thanks for watching some of my videos
cool amazing
Unsafe, stupid design and never dive alone, stupid choice.
Amen brother.
+angel sain Damn right. Especially if something goes wrong with the compressor!
battery and doomsday = fail
Yooo
