A DIY enthusiast is creating a spy-like scuba mask for a YouTube video. The project is a response to viewer requests, as the original plan to build AI glasses from Spider-Man was delayed due to a backordered screen. The scuba mask uses commercial scuba parts, including a mini tank and regulator, and is designed to be compact and functional. The creator tests the mask in a bathtub and later in a swimming pool, where it works successfully, although the oxygen supply is limited. The project also includes a handheld pump to refill the tank and an underwater scooter for added mobility.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. The creator went through 600 comments on their last video and got the most frequent request to make AI glasses from Spider-Man.
2. The creator decided to make a spy underwater scuba mask instead due to the unavailability of the screen needed for the Spider-Man glasses.
3. The creator previously made a scuba device using a paintball tank, but it didn't have a regulator and was not recommended.
4. The creator used commercially available scuba parts to make the spy underwater scuba mask.
5. The creator found a mini emergency dive tank and regulator for around $30.
6. The creator used a full-face snorkel mask with two snorkel ports that plug in like a hazmat suit.
7. The creator connected the mini tank to one of the snorkel ports using tubing and a regulator.
8. The creator also used an underwater sea scooter provided by Magic Jet.
9. The creator filled the mini tank using a super high-pressure hand pump that can go up to 3,000 psi.
10. The creator needed to pump the tank around 2,000 times to fill it up, which took around 5 minutes.
11. The creator tested the spy underwater scuba mask in a bathtub and found that it worked.
12. The creator took the mask to a swimming location to test it further.
13. The creator found that the snorkel closes automatically when diving underwater and the air tank takes over.
14. The creator was able to breathe underwater using the spy scuba mask, but only for a couple of minutes due to the small size of the tank.
