Dead on arrival; it does not work
Hi
@Greenberg!
Do you happen to have a reference for this and/or how did you come by this information?
And (knowing of
your hard work & blog)... What is your personal opinion of the issues here...
theoretical with the method
and/or particular to the R2D Debreather's implementation?
It seems to me that this should be a really great method... and I'm just trying to understand if/how my thinking could be wrong...?
Unlike the inert gas (specifically exit bag) method that doesn't require an "airtight seal" it seems essential that the R2D Debreather does... but we know how to do that, right? (easy = a correctly chosen mask, properly adjusted and properly seated on one's face) Then there's the CO2 absorbing pellets (aka "scrubber")... that technology is also very well established, used in space missions and all kinds of critical applications.
So it seems quite sound, theoretically...?
So is the problem something in the implementation (components chosen, supply chain, instructions provided, legal challenges, overall business mismanagement)? The parts are nothing special/exotic and there should be literally dozens-to-hundreds of suppliers for these cheap, "commodity" parts (I'd think). We do see evidence of inexperience in their poor communication to their potential customers: How hard is it to have a "news/updates" section on their website or have a Twitter feed?
I'm just wondering, if so, why not (in your analysis/opinion)?
