I have always wanted to walk around on the bottom of the seafloor just like Captain Nemo in Jules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. Now, maybe I can. Back in the 1970s there was a dive helmet for sale that was only $49, named the AquaBell. You could use it in the pool or on your boat to work underwater on your hull or take it to calm areas of the ocean and walk about on the bottom. The Aquabell was not a toy. You could dive to 35 feet with the pumps sold separately. The Aquabell company sold a manual pump that required an assistant on the surface to pump air and also sold very small electric oilless air compressors. The literature that comes with the Aquabell recommends an air pump that will provide a minimum of 2 CFM of air, although some users say they get by with 1.4 CFM. The depth used will determine your psi needed. I think 15psi will work for my needs. I will be posting a detailed video of the pump and filter after they arrive. I am starting an Aquabell playlist and will also post the literature that came with the helmet on my website so you can print it out if you have a AquaBell and need it. It is critical you both know and use safe diving procedures. Even though it is not likely for a diver to get the bends from very shallow diving, even a dive of a few feet of water with compressed air can kill a diver from embolisms if they hold their breath while ascending. The 3 main rules are to never hold your breath while ascending, to never rise faster than your air bubbles and to never panic. Never attach the heavy helmet to your body. The pump used must be an oilless compressor and it must be clean. I see no use of an inline air filter in any of the photos showing the Aquabell in use, but I would not want to use any air from even an oilless pump unless there was a backup filter. Some hookah divers that work on cleaning boats in very shallow water use inexpensive PVC hoses but you need to make sure they are food grade and clean of any oil residue left over from the manufacturing and that they do not get too hot from the pump as PVC can give off toxic fumes if heated too high. Never tie your helmet on, wear a buoyancy compensator or at least a snorkel vest and always have an assistant. All information here is for entertainment purposes only, use at your own risk and take a diving course and research all equipment and their uses on your own. I am only providing information on what I will be doing and it is not a recommendation you do the same. Here is the compressor I have bought and will be using with a filter after I have opened and cleaned the pump. BOYU-ACQ 906 amazon has a lower output model ACQ 903 that may also work, I will know more after I do tests when mine arrives. I ordered the scrap lead on eBay and will b ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5IqcO5J4cw

I recently bought a food dehydrator at a thrift store for $10. I had seen these for sale used for years but never bought one. I don't know why, they are a great way to take advantage of surplus fruit or vegetables or if you want to save money and make your own beef jerky. There are tons of videos on YouTube showing how to dehydrate , but for many items, you only have to wash and slice. Can't get much simpler. The first thing I dehydrated was 4 pounds of spotty bananas. They did not dry like a chip, but stayed leathery, but have kept very well in a bag in the refrigerator and I use some on cereal every morning. I can't think of a reason why anyone with a garden would not have a dehydrator. I recommend this older model of American harvest Snackmaster, it is very well built and takes a dozen trays. It also has a variable temperature switch for different items. Thanks for watching. Check out my other videos and other YouTubers I feature on my channel.
