  1. 21% normal
  2. 5% consumption
  3. volume of breath? 6 litres
  4. 16 breaths per minute
  5. our units are approximately 1/5 a litre
  6. 6 * 1/5 * 16 / 60 * 0.05 = oxygen per second rate = 0.016
  7. co2
  8. > 0.0008 is unhealthy
  9. > 0.005 is very unhealthy
  10. > 0.05 is dangerous to animal life (becomes uncomfortable as well)
  11. > 0.084 for 60 minutes = death
  12. > 0.1 is immediately dangerous
  13. o2 below 19.5% is considered dangerous
  14. 0.47 pressure at 21% is lowest pressure
  15. - 5 to 8 psi for 100% is tolerable (1 psi = 0.068046 atm)
  16. (should be roughly 0.12 atm (minimum at 100%))
  17. 2.5 atm at 21% should be a safe maximum, short periods in excess of 70 atm are tolerable
  18. Min Pressure: 0.12 atm with pure oxygen
  19. Max Pressure with pure oxygen: 0.5 atm
  20. Min Pressure w 19.5-21%: 0.47 atm
  21. Max Pressure with 19.5-21%: 2.5 atm
  22. - draw a box, current point has to be in the box? NO
  23. if oxygen < 0.195 -> dying
  24. if pressure < 0.12 -> dying
  25. if pressure < 0.47
  26. if oxygen < -2.3(pressure) + 1.276 -> dying
  27. if pressure > 0.5
  28. if oxygen > -.054(pressure) + 0.33 -> oxy toxicity
  29. if pressure > 2.5 -> oxy toxicity
  30. min pressures: 0.12 and 0.47
  31. max pressures: 0.5 and 2.5
  32. min percents: 1 and 1
  33. max percents
  34. feces
  35. 3-8oz per day -> * 0.0295735 / 5 = volume units
  36. = 0.03253085 / 24 / 60 / 60 = 3.7651446759259e-07 per second
  37. 75% water, 25% solid (below list)
  38. 0.3 -> bacteria
  39. 0.3 -> cellulose (can be burned -> co2 h2o)
  40. 0.1-0.2 -> fats
  41. 0.1-0.2 -> phosphates (iron/calcium)
  42. 0.02-0.03 -> proteins
  43. (one urination ~ 0.35 / 5 volume)
  44. per day => 0.8 to 2 litres
  45. per second = 3.2407407407407e-06
  46. urine
  47. ~0.04 urea (ammonia/co2)
  48. ~0.01 salt, potassium
  49. 0.95 water
  50. 0.4 litres of water expelled in breath per day
  51. per second: 0.4 / 5 / 24 / 60 / 60 = 9.2592592592593e-07
