First "couch dive" with version 6.0
Today I assembled version 6.0, it looked very lean & mean! ;=)
This is 5 years of work that I finally got around and finished. I tested the unit for about 30 minutes and everything worked really well. The PO2 display worked like a charm. The only thing I was not happy with was the attachement and position of the lungs, I have to fix this..... I will post some nice pictures of the unit tomorrow, stay tuned in for uppdates.

The Hunchback is finally completed!
Dear folks, the project is done! I have finished my RB project, The Hunchback!". Today I put together the last straw, the fischer connector cable and cable connection into the canister head. I can not believe it myself, I have completed my beloved project.
 
It took 5 years, but it was worth every headache, late evening, sleepless nights, empty wallet, etc. The hunchback is today a constant massflow controlled CCR with Trmix decompression computer and monitoring of three independant O2 cells with an option of a backup CCR computer and two stand alone PO2 displays! The Hunchback can be operated completly manual if the diver desires to do so for what ever reason. The canister lasts for 3 hours using standard sorb.
 
Wow, is it really over now???
 
Well, well, time will tell! ;=)
 
For now I will dive this unit untill it falls to pieces! Have a Nice summer! Enjoy the pictures of the canister head, cell plate (it is really cool), the CCR computer (Thanks Bruce!) and the fischer connectors!
