not something you can lift on your own
I managed to figure out how to open it and got the heavy concentrator that has wheels
plus parts. The manual didn't really say hwo to assemble it, but it was reasonably obvious
first job was to use the compressor hose to inflate the two stands
the chamber does look like a mess with the seat belt mesh
thankfully all parts had different size hoses or thread so it was not possible to get things wrong
a small remote that was meant for some other device that only allows on/off functionality
building the chamber the first time was still a bit of trial and error, especially with the belts and hoses
first pressure test at 1.7 ATA
not super easy to put together, but doable
and now the chamber doesn't collapse to the ground when it's empty
it looks a bit flimsy, but does the job
once the chamber is inflated, the frame does not matter anyway
How long does it take to inflate?
takes around 5mn to get to chamber fully inflated and pressure going up
and another 5mn or so to get to 1.7ATA
unsurprisingly, the compressed air is very warm (it's celcius of course)
had to buy this peltier cooler, it helped
but by the end, it was starting to get warm
problems with it creating water, though
due to a bug in this relay to release water
and yeah, the first cooler was only so good, 32C output was still warm
the older cooler is smaller and in the back
note 95% at 10lpm, while a Hugo test I saw showed numbers that were terrible
I confirmed it did deliver around 10lpm inside the chamber
this rain/water maze was definitely fun
nice raised area by Kinetic Fields
kandi casino was awesome again
and fun totems, 'this is the way'
I've made some great friends from EDC/Dreamstate shows, some are engineers like me :)
Got to see Daxson 4 times in 2 weeks :)
haha, normally I clean my lens better than this :)
interesting new church design for Kinetic Fields
Quantum Valley was again fantastic this year
seeing GO again just a few days after Rong/Malta
seeing sunset is always lovely
Great to see Daxson again just a few days after just a few days in Malta
lovely to see thorgodofbass again
Flew over Chinee Peak, a ski resort I didn't know
unusal straight in approach to LAS with low pass over the strip
LAS was super busy, that was the one time that taking uber/lyft was not a better idea than a cab
I wish I could have seen that new show, but it didn't run the night I could have gone and no matinees
reorder closed that evening at 22:00
Our new swiss festival lover friends
finally got to see Alex Morph play again
and finally got to take this picture with him with an outfit I had gotten ready years ago
Always nice to see Lange, I've listened to him since the ASOT 100 days
and he graciously met the crowd after his set
Rob and Anna both from Dublin, got re-united after some 20 years :)
last time I saw Dave Pearse was 20 years ago in Ibiza
Woohoo, we got 2 more sets from Ruben
don't laugh, so many pictures, so many festivals, I have to keep up real time, or there is no way I can keep doing these reports before it's 3 months later and no one cares ;) I actually finished writing this festival report in the shuttles to/from EDC Vegas 4 days later ;)
I wasn't prepared for it, so the first 10mn were hand recorded, and then I managed to do this for the last 50mn
the visuals are always the fun part for me
Markus Schulz played most of the trip, nice set
Liam Wilson took us home after Markus
she took time to meet many fans afterwards
he also went to meet the crowd afterwards
he also nicely met his fans afterwards
alcohol was 'festival priced' :), water half the price of lumi
food was mostly ok, only downside is you couldn't buy any food anywhere without wristband money

the boat being chronically late, opens its doors while still arriving in port to save a few minutes
this used to be an entire crater filled with water
this is one of the most famous paintings
intersting colors on the rocks
other people in the boat went to bathe, but water was kind of cold and I don't really go in the water unless it's to snorkel or dive :)
not bad for a boat, but not fast compared to a plane.
wonderful old mosaics left over
absolutely overpriced dessert, not bad, but sold for 27 times its price of 1E
found a beautiful and probably poisonous spider on the way ;)
the top arena was not well maintained and probably hadn't been for a while
storing black powder and ammunition there during the war
turned out to be a big mistake and responsible for most of the damage seen today
found lots of cats all around athens, many on this site, and they were friendly
parthenon doesn't look nealy as good
took the less busy south entrance, got in a few mimutes
what is left of the decorations, the rest were stolen by the british
what left of the temple of Olympian Zeus
and the rebuilt Panathenic Stadium where the 2004 olympic games were held
saw multiple tortoises in the city
they added nice murals to a run down area
Hadrian's Gate still looks good today
it's an interesting fork of christianity, with its own written language
