CO2 Jug Experiment
-
I've seen Haidut's classic jug breathing technique of taking an empty gallon jug, poking a penny sized hold in the bottom and using it to imitate "bag breathing". However, according to him and others, it takes roughly 20 minutes (under ideal circumstances) to accumulate a large amount of CO2. I find this onerous as it seems that breathing in the jug for closer to 30 - 40 minutes would then be ideal to get full benefit.
IDEA:
So I had the idea of having the same jug with the standard hole in the bottom, but putting a decent amount of baking soda and vinegar in the jug. According to my calculations, would only take 3-4 spoonful's of each to fully saturate the jug. Also, it doesn't all react at once, so should allow me some time to allow it to accumulate. What do you guys think? Seems vastly more efficient, could probably fully saturate the jug within a minute or two rather than 20 minutes. -
I though the whole point of Haidut’s method was that the c02 accumulates and stays there after each use? So if you did it regularly you wouldn’t have to wait at all.
I’ve been wanting to try it for a while now but I’ve been put off of it by having to breathe through the mouth, which I find gives me anxiety. I was wondering if anyone had experimented with adding an oxygen mask or altering the mouth of the jug to allow you to breathe through your nose instead.
