How does a scuba diver’s oxygen tank last for ~1 hour but an astronaut’s lasts ~6-8 hours when both tanks are around the same size?
In: Technology
It’s the rate of breathing. I can go nearly 3 hours on a tank of air. I consume very little. The hour is how long dive boats take you out for but at shallow depths you can scuba until you’re out of air. On a deep dive your time is limited by the amount of nitrogen that will be in your body when you’re finished.
