hello, I thought that you would be interested by my manufacture:

 

[jpelorat]

Wow!!!!

You are pretty creative. Great aproach on compensation. The next step could be a "blower" for the eustaquian tube for people with sinus problems. LOL...

Take care,
Sigi...

I will reduce the interior with silicone too, but only after one test at sea
to test the effectiveness

Cool!

I look forward to see how the tests come out, be sure to post.

Pretty genius prototype mate! I'd just be worried the tubes are too small for proper air exchange, but maybe not. Please let us know...

more one tube is small more it is solid the thickness of plastic is larger I carried out tests and it is good but that deforms the vision
one would need a better quality of glasses

 

[Aquagenic]

Do you have problems with it fogging?

~JMP

 

[matrixed82]

Sweet!
Where did you get the mouth piece, was it incorporate with the tubbing?

yes a little :head

A picture is worth a thousand words,
thanks

Pretty nice work sylvain!!!

~~thanks ~~

Great stuff! Put me down for one

The next step could be a "blower" for the eustaquian tube for people with sinus problems.

Please let us know when you develop a prototype for that too! rofl

Absolute Genius

Very cool.

Hi !
how did you seal the lense and the tube to each other ? any glue ore silicone ? or did you use a goggles that has a thick rubber ?

... very interesting thing..

Did anyone try diving with auto-compensating goggles? I am not sure if it was already done by someone, so I made a picture with a photo editor to illustrate it. With increasing depth, the air in the compressible air balloons (or other suitable containers) would be pressed into the non-compressible goggles automatically.

The advantages in comparison to pipe goggles:

1. No wasting of air from your lungs / mouth
2. No stress with compensating the goggles
3. No fogging of the goggles (due to the humidity in your breath)

The construction would have some disadvantages though too:

1. Increased buoyancy - especially if you plan to dive deep (say over 100m), the air containers might need to be rather big (approx 10 times the volume of the goggles, for 100m)
2. Increased drag - that could be solved with a better construction though - for example having some flat elastic air container around your neck or under your wet-suit

Can someone please tell a newbie what this is?

[Is the point to equalise pressure in the goggles without a nose cover? If so, what is the advantage of losing the nose cover?]

It is to be used with a noseclip, that is usualy difficult to put on when you are wearing regular mask. And the nose clip serves for hands free equalizing. Another advantage of using goggles is their lower volume, hence lower air consumption in depth. That goes for the pipe mask; at the mask with the baloons, there is no added air consumption at all. And of course, the baloon auto-compensator principle could be used with a regular mask too, to avoid the necessity to compensate the mask from your lungs.
