Great, look forward to seeing the accident analysis of each incident published at some point or at the very least, sufficient disclosed to positively rule out the rebreather's design.I don't know about a), but b) couldn't be further from the truth based on the cases I know about.
Richard, something is causing the fatalities on rEvo's! What the root cause is, I do not yet think anyone knows....and now, Brad, you are implying two similar (design related) failures, same time same day!
To answer your innuendo, personally I think it is something identical as opposed to "similar". But to confirm or deny any link to all the other rEvo fatalities, it would need formal accident analysis. In a pot with recording of the unmanned gas analysis from the mouth, off the units mounted on a manikin, in order to recreate the exact circumstances and conditions of the dive: inclusive of orientation, duration, gas, workload and temps. If that creates a condition where the loop is no longer safe to breath off, everyone will have an answer. NEDU did a great case study of this with their Ex19.
No & Nope in this case, other than a curiosity of the root cause behind these rEvo fatalities! Lets see what the NEDU analysis determines, if that is where the units have both ended up. They do good work, per page 237+ https://www.diversalertnetwork.org/files/Tech_Proceedings_Feb2010.pdfAmbulance chasing much? Personal agenda much? You are real good at innuendo.
A very undocumented feature! Where is it located, as all I thought the rEvo had in it as far as electronics go, is the galvanic O2 cells, temp sensors for the RMS if fitted and associated wiring....There is an internal black box recorder in the rEvo as well. However to date the (former) manufacturer hasn't been terribly cooperative in accessing and sharing the data for investigations.
