Download or read book The Use of Hydrogen as an Inert Gas During Diving Pulmonary Function During Hydrogen Oxygen Breathing at Pressures Equivalent to 200 Feet of Sea Water written by James H Dougherty (Jr) and published by . This book was released on 1974 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A review of the characteristics of hydrogen as an inert gas for use in diving is presented, with special emphasis on the extention of the respiratory limitation in diving by use of this least dense of all gases. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1), forced expiratory volume in 2 seconds (FEV2), peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), peak inspiratory flow rate (PIFR), and maximal voluntary ventilation (MVV) were measured on four subjects breathing 97% H2-3% O2 at 200 fsw, on two subjects breathing 97% He-3% o2, and on two divers using 97% N2-3% O2. The MVV on H2-O2 at 200 fsw was 14% better than on air at the surface and was improved 40% compared with He-O2 and 171% when compared with N2-O2 at 200 fsw. Similar findings were obtained for the following functions: FEV1, FEV2, PEFR, and PIFR. This is the first study in which pulmonary function has been measured during hydrogen-oxygen breathing. The values in this study for the relationship of relative gas density to flow are in good agreement with both the theoretical and experimental values of Wood and Bryan.

Download or read book The Use of Hydrogen Oxygen Breathing Mixtures for Deep Ocean Diving written by William P. Fife and published by . This book was released on 1978 with total page 91 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simulated dives were made with dogs to a depth equivalent to 1000 feet of Sea water (305 meters). Sixteen of these animals breathed a non-explosive hydrogen-oxygen mixture (hydrox) containing no more than 3% oxygen, while 12 breathed gas mixtures containing helium in place of hydrogen. In a number of dives, animals were exposed to hydrogen continuously for between 96-100 hours, 48 of which was spent at 1000 FSW. Extensive pre- and post-dive blood enzyme and hematological studies were carried out. In addition lung, brain and liver biopsies were carried out on selected animals. all such studies showed no significant abnormalities. One dive employing helium and one dive employing hydrogen proved fatal. In both instances, these fatalities were due to volatile hydrocarbons present in a cylinder of contaminated oxygen. All other animals survived the exposures. Indeed, some animals made more than one dive. Three of these animals still appear normal after 3 to 5 years post-dive. EEG studies showed no residual post-dive abnormalities and no evidence of High Pressure Nervous Syndrome while at 1000 FSW, although transient EEG abnormalities were noted during hypoxia. Techniques were developed for mixing hydrogen and oxygen in a non-explosive manner. The techniques developed for the use of hydrox appear to be reasonably safe. For the past eleven years, this laboratory has carried out over 645O hours of hydrox exposure on animals including mice, rats, dogs, and man, and has mixed approximately 200 cylinders of hydrox without an accident related to the use of hydrogen.
Download or read book Hydrogen Storage Technologies written by Agata Godula-Jopek and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-07-05 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of current and possible future hydrogen storage technologies, written from an industrial perspective. The book describes the fundamentals, taking into consideration environmental, economic and safety aspects, as well as presenting infrastructure requirements, with a special focus on hydrogen applications in production, transportation, military, stationary and mobile storage. A comparison of the different storage technologies is also included, ranging from storage of pure hydrogen in different states, via chemical storage right up to new materials already under development. Throughout, emphasis is placed on those technologies with the potential for commercialization.
Download or read book Hydrogen Molecular Biology and Medicine written by Xuejun Sun and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-02-25 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a clearly structured introduction to hydrogen biology and medicine. Hydrogen is the one of the most abundant elements in the universe and has the simplest structure. In 2007, Japanese researchers found that the selective oxidation of hydrogen has a therapeutic effect on various diseases and injuries, sparking widespread interest in the biomedical field. In recent years, hundreds of peer-reviewed papers have been published internationally reporting the positive effects of hydrogen on many human diseases, including strokes, diabetes, Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and sepsis. The authors provide readers with a comprehensive overview of this subject, from its physical and chemical properties to its biological effects, as well as the problems and obstacles that exist.

This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Up to about 30 years' ago diving activity was centred primarily on the naval services, who provided a lead in the development of equipment, techniques and procedures. Apart from one or two spectacular salvage undertakings, the main commercial activity up until that time was fairly low-key work in docks and harbours. The concept of saturation diving emerged from subsea habitats of which Captain Cousteau was one of the pioneers. This led the way to commercial development in support of exploration and the production of offshore oil and gas, and I believe that my friend Henri Delauze was one of the first to mount the subsea habitat on deck and provide a sealed bell to convey divers from the habitat to the seabed without change of pressure. A remarkable feature of offshore oil and gas technology in the North Sea has been the willingness of all concerned to exchange information regarding R&D. This has had a major effect on the advance in technology over the last few years. As far as diving is concerned, it is to some extent 'Hobson's Choice'. Legal patents are difficult to achieve in this field, and the casual nature of diver employment to date has meant that ideas and techniques circulate almost as freely as the divers themselves. In addition, the advertis ing of the new technologies which one has to offer almost auto matically means disclosure of what otherwise might be secret.
