Why The Mini Diving Tank Hand Pump Is a SCAM
Ойын-сауық
They say you easily and effortlessly can fill a scuba diving tank with a hand pump, but how effortless is it actually?
I tested how long it actually takes to fill a scuba tank with a hand pump?

Ive been watching multiple videos of this guy and just now i realized he is norwegian, thats awesome! Beste dykkekanalen på youtube😉
I'm curious as to what other manual pump designs there are, this seems pretty inefficient but there must be a reason the design didn't change, maybe a geared bycicle would do great, it could adjust to the load and legs are quite good at hard continuous work.

I believe this design is like this because a bicycle style would not be very portable
What about using an air compressor instead of pumping?
but now you can dive right?
Fun fact, using a cheaper pump may result in the air hose failing after heavy usage, I had a bubble form in the line and subsequently burst after we had to air up a truck tire in the middle of nowhere. The hose will get very hot to the touch beforehand though, so fair warning.
Very good fitness excercise, so no scam for your health !😂
8:23 the guy there thinking " That's it, Christian has gone crazy... well it was only a matter of time, he's underwater a lot"
Thanks.
Gets you in shape to go diving!

Is it normally tagt my pump is getting so hot
wow. thanks alot. i was going to buy it. So if i need to buy the compressor and tank, what will be the total weight to see if its worth to take this abroad?

Take abroad 😮 are you kidding? There's no reason to take all this crap abroad. Don't forget you also need a mask, fins and a snorkel plus a belt with 5-8 pounds of lead. Also, take a diver down marker buoy so as not to get chopped into pieces by a speed boat. Easier to travel with a diving certificate and enjoy yourself. Source; I'm a professional diver
Which one would you recommend us? I checked the piece of the smaco and they are a bit expensive, is there any cheaper option

I only tried Minidive, Smaco and Spareair. They are all about the same price.
What are your thoughts on having these on standby as emergency air for fire e.g. house is full of smoke and having one beside your bed?

I love the tanks, but I am no fan of the pump and the marketing is a scam.
Can’t you use at air compressor or no
Can use a normal aim pump for this eletronic one like a tire pump or bycicle pump? So you can just sit there.

@@Berkcam you could always go to a dive shop, but without an inspection sticker I don’t think they would fill it. Cheaper to buy a pony tank or Spare Air.
Please excuse my ignorance but what difference does a scuba licence make, to make this dangerous if you don't have one....

I'm guessing the rules that us norms don't know. Like a random dude buying this then diving down 100 meters. Like what precautions are needed when breathing compressed air at depths and how they effect your body? Or not understanding how the reg works? I'm just guessing but bc of this I've signed up to get my cert.

@@ExcavationNationteaches you about safe diving depths and how long you should be breathing at those depths to prevent decompression sickness. When you are breathing compressed air in water nitrogen bubbles form under your skin. Also breathing a normal mix of nitrogen and oxygen at certain depths can cause narcosis

Also if someone bought this and went down to 10 meters and held their breath as they swam up their lungs would expand and it could cause a lot of damage
How much is that compressor? And have any broke down on you

The compressor from lung tank is like 800€
Seems like the issue is the pump. These are multi-stage pumps, they should have designed the final stage piston/chamber with a diameter of 5.6mm. This would give a reaction (pushback) force of just 50kg when the piston hits 200bar (200kg/cm2 acting on 0.25cm2). Looks like the central final stage piston is too big a diameter. Of course this would need even more pump strokes to fill!

The issue is also the volume… you won’t get 10 minutes out of a single tank if you go deeper than 15 ft.

I thought it contained just one, VERY thin piston. How can multiple stages fit in there? (Maybe they can, idk)
I face a problem finding a connecter to use the air pump
Should build a machine that pumps the hand pump😂 but if you did that you might as well buy a compressor

Air pump
Well this was misleading. So bottle line they aren't going to kill you. It's only meant to be 5-10 feet deep. So you definitely don't need a licence, you need knowledge. Which is why we're all here on KZread lol. So better question that never got answered, do they work for breathing underwater lol (only thing that matters.
Y slept watching this video
Its some work. But i manage much easier than you. I see it as not a scam. Its exercise i need.
Second
Use an electric pump
Why do u call SCAM? U did it. Its an alternative method. U did mistake by doing it at a go. U can do it by 2 to 3 days in multiple sessions . U even wont feel any exhaustion. Just do it in 10 times wothin 3 days. Relax and do. By the by, do more Gym b4 trying this. Cheers.
