Cool new invention

A one way valve that uses physics to greatly enhance the volume of air with each breath. Very cool.

It'll only work for pressure differentials of nearly 1:1 with the surrounding atmosphere, which is just about what things like air mattresses and floaty-toys need.

The large valve that allows the entrainment of parallel air from the outside coming along with your breath would be easily overcome at airgun or scuba pressures etc. The surface area for the PSI to act on in the tank would be very large.

Meh, I got an air compressor, actually I got 3 air compressors of varying capacities.

So the exciting new invention is not the process, but how they package it into an air mattress?

stay safe.
