Which I really really like, but I am confuse about if I have to refill it which O2 should I use, what if I just can not get aviators oxygen? Aviators oxygen is required to have very low moisture content. At high altitude, excess moisture could freeze and block O2 lines. Here's an interesting quote I ran across at http://www.c-f-c.com/supportdocs/abo1.htm: "Also of interest, we have been told by the suppliers of welding oxygen, the purity level required for welding and cutting purposes is more critical than for breathing." I recall reading 20+ years ago who wanted to avoid aviation O2 prices, and used welding O2. The fun part was he got the FAA to admit, in writing, that such was within the FAR's and fully legal. -- A host is a host from coast to & no one will talk to a host that's close..........................

As a medic who uses "medical" oxygen a lot. You basically have steel tanks, aluminum tanks and some stainless steel. Steel are usually higher pressure units, used as vehicle born or stationary tanks feeding into a manifold. There are steel portable tanks still out there but they are a dying item. As they fail hydro they are replaced by aluminum. Stainless are usually liquid oxygen for hospitals and bulk transport. And guess which you use in the MRI suite... BTW, there are also fiberglass O2 bottles. I knew a SF Ranger who made HAHO insertations. The only metal he carried was the barrel/receiver of his weapon & ammunition, and that in a graphite bag to minimize the radar signature. (The boots had no metal islets, etc.) He described the procedure as "....cold..." -- A host is a host from coast to & no one will talk to a host that's close..........................

I never knew you could transport towers via CATV. Does it require a newer than DOCSIS III modem? No, DOCSIS didn't exist in the early '80s, so they used 40 axle, 4,000 HP crawlers with a top speed of a couple miles an hour. The trip took days, and it required shutting down part of State RT 4 in SW Ohio. The sections of the cooling towers were unloaded from a barge at Delhi Township. It had to climb some steep hills, then it traveled around Hamilton Ohio on Bypass 4. It then took St Rt4 to Engele's Corner just south of Middletown, right onto Oxford State Road, then left onto Yankee Road where the Air Products plant is located. Overhead utilities had to be raised, or removed to allow it to pass. Since CATV lines are the lowest, we had the most physical plant to remove. We had two crews working with the rigging company. the first removed deops that crossed the road, just ahead of the crawlers, and the second reinstalled them as they followed it. 8846!4d-84.397463 -- Never **** off an Engineer!
