The Blender program was based on reading up on the work of
Van der Waals on real gases rather than the ideal
gas. Using this program I routinely blend 300bar nitrox and trimix breathing
gases. Fill in the current contents of the cylinder and the required contents and it will generate the actions to obtain it. The menu on the Mode at the bottom offers you the ability to switch it back to the Ideal gas laws we all learned in OW and a tick to say if you want to add helium first if blending a mix that requires both helium and oxygen. The Exit command is also on the menu. The most recently blended mix is retained in the system registry so restarting the program should return you to where you left off. If you know enough to be blending gases then you know enough to measure the mix before breathing it but also beware of assuming that the previous mix is what it says on the label. Please note: The current program uses volume in litres and pressure in bar. Currently there are no plans for cu ft and psi. Download iBlender.zip, unzip it and copy to the iPAQ. I put it in "My Device" | "Program Files" | "Nigel" (I created the "Nigel" folder to match all the other programs that are in a folder by the supplier's name). Then click-and-hold on it to get the pop-up menu and select "Copy". Then go to "My Device" | "Windows" | "Start Menu" and click-and-hold in open space and select "Paste Shortcut". Click-and-hold on that and select "Rename" to make it "Blender" not "Shortcut to Blender". After that it should appear on the start menu like a good little program. |

I developed nvDeco as an exercise in understanding the mathematics behind
decompression programs and tables. I use it and I quite like it but it has
restrictions that I can live with but that I'm not going to fix so I am not
happy to be passing on to other people. I know it was here for a long time and a lot of people down-loaded it so if you are using it and want another copy email me and we can negotiate. For the IPAQ I'd probably recomend GAP-Lite. | ![]() |
