trux, hi there ..
.. do you have an idea what is the average tidal volume for 95% full lungs ?! .. I know the figuers vary according to total volume of each individual's lung, but the calculator doesn't accept more than 5 liters, anything beyond will be considered as beyond human nature ! .. is that true? .. anyway, if it was 5 liters at 0 m alt then it states that 2 breaths will still be ok (not hyperventilation) .. now I can do two very deep breaths each minute .. do you think it wont be considered hyper ? according to what I understood from the different references, it is hyper as long as it is TOO DEEP .. any idea?
