I have dreamt up this crazy idea about building a airtight float tank that would be pressurize to about 4psi with some pure oxygen added. It would have a pressure relief valve that pops off at 3 psi. An aircompresser and oxygen tank that are both regulated to 4 psi. While you are floating you are also being subjected to a constant supply of oxygen enriched air in a pressurized environment. So in a nutshell you have a "Oxygen enriched hyperbaric float tank".

You might be wondering why I would want to build this type of float tank. We'll my thought process works like this...

1. One hour in a float tank makes me feel fully rested and revitalized as if a had slept all night.

2. I have recently read quite a bit about the healing properties of a hyperbaric chamber. The results they have had with injury patients and children with MS are phenomenal. It works something like this. pressurizing the atmosphere allows your body to absorb more oxygen which assist in the healing and repair of your body and a cellular level.

3. If you combine these to devices I believe that one hour of float time would dramatically reduce recovery times after strenuous exercise, injury, sickness or a just plain stressful day. The health benefits would be amazing!!!

I am writing today to seek advice and to find a person/persons who might be interested in this idea to collaborate with me on the design of this project. I don't believe that 4 psi is enough to have to worry about getting the bends if you had to exit the tank quickly. I believe this ideal could me accomplished using a small aircompresser to pressurize the tank and then maintain it with a tank of welding oxygen regulated to 4psi.

I you have any questions, comment or would be interested in helping me design this project. Please leave a post or send an email.

I look forward to hearing from you. Have a great day.
