<VV> New engine possibilities

[Richard Gebhardt]

John, my question is:   Where is the compressor? If on-board, what 
powers it? As to Scuba tanks, the standard is an 80 cu in pumped to 
3000PSI. Average diver can stay
down 25 to 60 minutes depending on depth and breathing technique. Not 
sure about shooting one, but if you break the head off, it becomes a 
rocket. Usually not a problem
on the dive boat, but has happened in-transit from the pump to the boat.

Regards

Richard
