All these amazing results in static after breathing pure oxygen make me wonder....
I've never tried it myself, and there are a couple of things I do not understand.
The breathing reflex (and contractions) is mainly triggered by elevated CO2 levels. I would imagine, that even if your tissues are really saturated with O2 after breathing the pure stuff, your cellular respiration would still churn out just as much CO2 as normally.
If this is the case, then your breathing reflex should kick in just as early as normal. That would make the last 14 minutes or so of a 20min static pure agony of suppressing a huge breathing reflex and terrible contractions.
Is there a flaw in my logic, or a gap in my knowledge?
Also, what about CO2 toxicity?
