I'm not good with my hands and struggle quite a bit with overly technical methods (such as nitrogen/hellium method and GULPS method). But I realized if I ignore the water bath part completely, it is doable even for me. The acidic fume (because of the volatility of either sulfuric acid or formic acid im not sure) contamination is not intense enough I presume? I'm aware that doing the method this way will cause me greater pain before unconciousness. My question is if the water bath solely exists to grant comfort, and not actually detrimental to the success of the CO generator.
- Even if the acid fume contamination causes pain (corrosive), am I correct to assume that the unconciousness will nevertheless arrive quickly, considering that you are essentially breathing in %98-99 pure CO through the mask.
- Also, sorry for the slightly unrelated question, but why do CO detectors that measure up to 5000-10000ppm are absurdly costly (they cost like 2000$ here in the country I live in).
