Thanks for oil suggestions,
I've bought a few & will play round with them.
Also thanks to whoever mentioned the book " Oxygen hackers
companion" by Vance Harlow.
I bought a copy & thought it was a must read for anyone
building a sub, with limited knowlege
Below is a link to a pdf on co2 absorbant & scrubbers, wich
Hugh mentioned & is a pretty definitive work.
Can psubs pinch pdfs permanently to post on our
site without getting into trouble ???
Have you got a name for your Comsub 600 Hugh?

That's very interesting Alan. Let me know how it works out.
On the oil type, I've heard of guys using vegetable oil, because
if it leaks it won't pollute, and it's thin enough. Olive oil sounds good. I
like the idea of testing it with water in a jar. Good idea. Maybe it would be a
good idea to try several types of oil. There's some type of
"di-electric" oil some one remarked on before, and then the
WD40 stuff. How about regular 3-in-1 oil? Or maybe any light oil like 5 weight
motor oil. A little bit leaked out isn't going to pollute anything.
Some oils will break down plastics like wire insulation or the
epoxy "potting" on armature windings. I don't think vegetable oil
would do that.
How about some light Hydraulic oil?
Anybody else got info on this?
