Why The Mini Diving Tank Hand Pump Is a SCAM

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😉

[@DemsW]

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.

[@Christian_Wedoy]

I believe this design is like this because a bicycle style would not be very portable

[@kiddogrease14]

What about using an air compressor instead of pumping?

[@kalyxhighgrade8392]

but now you can dive right?

[@zefallafez]

Gets you in shape to go diving!

[@Christian_Wedoy]

Gets my heart pumping

[@Vesalempinen]

Very good fitness excercise, so no scam for your health !😂

[@Matrix-tz5yc]

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?

[@Berkcam]

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

[@madeiraislander]

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"

[@andreuriudavets8193]

Which one would you recommend us? I checked the piece of the smaco and they are a bit expensive, is there any cheaper option

[@Christian_Wedoy]

I only tried Minidive, Smaco and Spareair. They are all about the same price.

[@niclashernemyr4330]

Company: So I take it you didn't like our product? Christian: No you lied. *starts teabagging (5:45)

[@Christian_Wedoy]

I love the tanks, but I am no fan of the pump and the marketing is a scam.

Thanks.

Esta genial ... Pude mejorar ya lo veo

[@magicoffice3994]

This video was so funny!!! 😂😂😂

[@pashakako6051]

Thanks

[@ebbonemint]

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.

[@billysmart24830732]

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?

[@TheDerpingDutchman]

Would probably work. It definitely beats breathing hot smoke

[@TheDerpingDutchman]

@@AnimalScienceTV Well then it’s probably useless

Is it a standard valve? I can sterilize and rebuild an ekectric oumo in less time lol

[@80ssnorklover7]

Is it still worth getting or no? (known as the little scuba diving tank?)

[@rafaelmolina123]

It is still worth it but you really need to buy a mini electric compressor for scuba tanks.

[@Berkcam]

As a professional diver I know this product is being pushed for something it was never intended for. Avoid it.

[@Sherwoody]

@@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.

[@cotteeskid]

A bit like putting up with a 45sec KZbin ad to watch a 10sec video.

[@DanK-mz5be]

Can’t you use at air compressor or no

[@irnehredna7110]

Can use a normal aim pump for this eletronic one like a tire pump or bycicle pump? So you can just sit there.

[@UnfiItered]

Can you? Yes, should you? No. You want a air compressor that filter out contamination. That way you won't get any toxicity exposure.

[@irnehredna7110]

@@UnfiIteredThat's what i meant with a air filter so you don't over dose on nitrogen

[@tc000]

I use a regular bike pump that works way better than those cheap ones... and it's way better and there's no toxic anything 😌

[@irnehredna7110]

@@tc000 so you sit there for like 2 hours for 10 minutes of air

[@KevinL-vv3fb]

No ，electronic air pump don't have filter ,so the air is not clean .yu would need that spcial made one

Nice one☝

Thanks 🔥

[@martinrichardrams8542]

Is it normally tagt my pump is getting so hot

[@mufuliramark]

Please excuse my ignorance but what difference does a scuba licence make, to make this dangerous if you don't have one....

[@ExcavationNation]

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.

[@RedSkyrkw]

@@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

[@RedSkyrkw]

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

[@xenify_]

How much is that compressor? And have any broke down on you

[@McMissile3612]

The compressor from lung tank is like 800€

They say you easily and effortlessly can fill a scuba diving tank with a hand pump.

[@Christian_Wedoy]

Very easy...

[@TheDerpingDutchman]

Very easy… very time consuming

[@skybuzzard-9292]

Should build a machine that pumps the hand pump😂 but if you did that you might as well buy a compressor

[@bobwalter5902]

1:09 ......why did you not just use an air compressor???? That's the easiest way to fill those the manual pump if for if you have no power but need to dive.... for emergency use only tbh or short 3 minute dives

[@andrewkennedy1172]

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!

[@TheDerpingDutchman]

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

[@fishygaming793]

I thought it contained just one, VERY thin piston. How can multiple stages fit in there? (Maybe they can, idk)

[@tc000]

You are definitely out of shape! 😂 ❤

[@prod.byjrnbeats1336]

what name of the compressor

[@Christian_Wedoy]

I don't know. Minidive sell it.

[@muhammadsaleh290]

I face a problem finding a connecter to use the air pump

[@andromedacrew3533]

buying this to cut off my gym costs..

[@asyncasync]

Maybe its helpful for getting through highly flooded cave sections

[@catharinalangle4890]

No. Just no. Cave/overhead environment is a highly advanced diving type and certification for a reason: It's dangerous as all hell and shit balls. And don't get me started on the whole compression/decompression issue.

[@asyncasync]

@@catharinalangle4890 I have seen videos of people using these for some extra air. Not talking about fully submerged sections, but 90% ones where you have to dive here and there for a sec.

[@asyncasync]

I don't mean fully flooded sections, but 90%-95% ones where only your head is above the surface and you have to dive a for short periods in certain spots. I have seen these being used for that.

[@catharinalangle4890]

@@asyncasync oh! Yes! I can imagine that. Still not safe, but a lot better

[@elicruice7899]

Air pump

[@ArchersPlace]

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 KZbin lol. So better question that never got answered, do they work for breathing underwater lol (only thing that matters.

Use an electric pump

[@jadumootu6816]

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.
