Brand new to cpap (overloaded with information) Start where?

[palerider]

I can tell that getting through to you is a lost cause, and your smarmy replies, while stupid, are losing their amusement factor.

In other words, you fail to test your own machines (that you sell to unsuspecting customers) for the EXACT same things that you decry are the dangers in this thread?

of course I test my machines, as head of PaleRider Cpap Machines Ltd.. (you've no doubt heard of us, we're bigger than resmed and respironics put together, in fact, the new Air10 line is OUR machine, resmed just puts a sticker over our logo.

All of our respiratory devices are precision engineered, and thoroughly tested and certified the world over, as are, of course, all of our power supply equipment.

which is why I can ridicule your stupid little picture, because I know how it will fail, and what damage it will cause to the machine.... though, I do regret the mindless damage to one of our works of art.. Le Sigh.

With all your knowledge, you still fail to ever impart a single iota of useful information to a thread.

Why is that?

All you can do is naysay.
You must be a miserable person, in real life.
You do need help.

Why is that?

I've contributed lots of useful information to lots of threads.

I offered useful information here, which you gleefully ignore. I'll rephrase:

I think that your idea is stupid, and overly simplistic, and I'm afraid you're going to blow up your machine, though I hope you don't. I *strongly* discourage anybody from attempting to follow in your footsteps.

I'm sure that someone can (and people have reported doing so) make a home made power supply that'll run the machine, but I really don't believe you are the person to do it... and I have *NO* desire to shoulder the liability of leading people down the path of destroying their CPAP. that's just *STUPID*, not to mention irresponsible, and possibly the target of expensive litigation.

if you want to break your cpap, that's entirely up to you, but encouraging others to do so.... *shakes head*

some machines are *designed* to run on unregulated battery power, is the resmed? do you know? or is it just you guessing?

Verbatim caught on quickly, doncha think?

The problem with Palerider is that (it) hasn't grown up yet, mentally.
(I don't know if Palerider is male or female so I'll just call it an it because it adds no value anyway.

All it can say is "it won't work" (but it doesn't even UNDERSTAND how the circuitry works - let alone how to design something that works).

Basically, Palerider is simply your basic troll who is stunted at about the elementary school level in mental development.

The problem with dealing with such trolls is that they will destroy a thread no matter WHAT you do - because that's what trolls like it absolutely love to to.
They THRIVE on destroying the content of a thread.
It makes them feel ALIVE to destroy a thread.

It is no different than any other troll.

There are basically three ways to deal with the troll:

• Don't feed the troll (in which case, it will eventually go away - but it will destroy the thread before doing so - because THAT is what energizes it)
• Mock the troll's very words (this is so easy to do that you'd think the troll would get it - but remember - the troll is stunted in development - so the mockery is only seen by others - not by the troll itself)
• Get into heated pitched battles with the troll (which is EXACTLY what the troll wants - since the troll feeds off of the attention paid to it).

As you noted, the troll will ruin the thread in any case.

Just as you can't stop a rampaging dog from ruining the exquisite dishes in the China shop, no matter what you do, it will ruin any thread it touches.
That's because it takes no intelligence to ruin a thread - which is all the troll can do.

It takes intelligence to ADD VALUE to a thread - which is what my prior posts and yours attempt to do (and those of the intelligent others.); but it takes absolutely ZERO INTELLIGENCE to ruin a thread.
That's all the troll "can" do (because it's not intelligent enough to add any value).

One other thing, common to such trolls, is that they must have the last word - and - again - like a crying child in an airplane where others are trying to get something done - you have to let the troll have the last word.
Which it will.

I've suspected something like this for years. If I ever run into you, I'd like to buy you a jenever and a beer.

that's mighty kind of you, I'll gladly accept

Many posts in this thread have been deleted, mine among them. I thought about resurrecting them

but since the original poster has left the premises, there is no point.


However, will the person who is doing the deleting STOP and DESIST!

Did you realize that the power cable also has a signal line in it in addition to power? So if you were to hook up, say, two 12 volt batteries to a connector and plugged it into the cpap, it still wouldn't work?

If you added a 2.7K ohm pull-up resistor and a 3.3VDC reference voltage, the circuit WILL work.
We've successfully tested that on three ResMed A10s using a home-built power supply that costs just a few bucks in electronic parts.
