DIY Scuba Diving Helmet!

It was time to put the helmet to the test. After a rushed construction I was still confident it would work.

you should drill holes in the side for your ears so you can hear the fish laughing their asses off

i hate to get technical, but, scuba is Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. what he is using is a Surface Supplied Breathing Apparatus. nice effort tho

It's all fun and games until he turns sideways

says "CO2 is heavier than air" then shows a diagram of CO2 being lighter than air

North Korea's space program could use your test data.

Very scary part is the hand air pump. Typically there is a thin film of oil that helps seal the piston to the wall of the cylinder and THAT becomes extremely poisonous when breathed in, especially under pressure.

snorkel to exhale carbon dioxide, and inhale with your nose

I'm a commercial diver and this is so incredibly dangerous. This guy had many safety back ups but you should never try this. Especially by your self.

Did any one else think he looked like a LEGO figure?

My grandfather built a diving helmet in the fifties out of metal (Not sure what kind) so its heavy enough to weigh you down. It also uses a bicycle pump with a long cable to supply air. Really cool I’ve messed around with it in a pool a few times. He used to use it to explore ponds and lakes with it. Sounds kinda creepy to me.

This dangerous I m a commercial part one Diver learned me self from Scottish navy instructors, and I be done well for myself . I bet my instructor found this, he would really insult you as he did with all the British lads offshore . But nice one . As long you are breathing under 2 meters it’s ok . Below that level you need to test co2 . What you could do is give continuity to the air flow, and you should be alright . Once again, NICE ONE

So would it work with a air mattress electric pump? It would supply constant air without having someone pump

[anthonybromberg]

To fix the CO2 problem, get a rubber tube that is long enough to connect from your mouth to the side of the helmet. This way, you can breath the fresh air with your nose and exhale the CO2 with your mouth. Keep in mind you must tape the end of the tube to the helmet so it doesn't float around you. (To keep it stabilized) Also, I recommend adding a mouthpiece to the front of the tube to make it more comfortable. :)

Hi everyone! Thanks for watching this vid. I see there's people wondering about the science behind the Scuba helmet. Honestly - I don't know how it works! I took a risk and I figured that I wasn't going to be underwater for a long time and I also had a very qualified diver filming me and watching out for me. I looked into how the helmet would work and the explanation I give in the video is how I interpreted it. To be honest I didn't think this video would reach this many people. However, I am planning on building a bigger, better diving bell next year and I WILL make sure I get the science right! I'm sure one of you guys knows the correct way the scuba helmet works and I'd love to know, too! So keep commenting below and subscribe to keep updated. Thanks everyone

My only concern is the fact that what causes breathing is the presence of toxins. As in if there is carbon dioxide present you will breath normally. This means if there is no oxygen in the helmet you would have no idea because u would still just be breathing normally, before you would even realize it you would slip out of consciousness as you are not breathing in any oxygen to supply your muscles and brain. Just a thing to think about, because by the time you realized it it wiuld be to late. I guess thats why u have your friends there tho Haha. But anyway thats the exact reason why people kill themselves with car exhaust, because they dont feel it or even realize they are dying yet. They just fall asleep and dont wake up.

[jacobww]

should try a leafblower not a bike pump it keep the air fresh

[lbpyoutube]

use an electronic air pump for mattresses so u can go to beach and have more air

[goatinthefog]

came here to see if anyone had done this, found a creeper fan from 2015
