Lab Update: Trapped Balloon Vacuum Gauge

We added a short guide to the measuring vacuum section that covers the trapped balloon gauge. The write-up walks through how to size the container, prep the airflow holes, and use the balloon expansion as a quick visual check that a bag has pulled down to around 80% of atmospheric pressure.

If you need a reference while setting up a bag, read the new page here: Trapped Balloon Vacuum Gauge.

Welcome to the ApneaScrap Lab Blog

We're starting a blog to share progress on DIY freediving gear and testing. Stay tuned for updates.

This space will host:

  • Research notes that capture experiments and the theory behind our DIY projects.
  • Updates on builds, repairs, and anything else happening in the lab.
  • Brainstorming sessions where we think through solutions to tricky problems.
  • Field tests as we take prototypes into the water and report what worked (and what didn't).
