[simpits-tech] G-Suit

[Marv De Beque]

I did not include volume on my first reply and the reason is that the 
system does not rely on volume, but pressure.

Volume will change with the different sized suits and with the way they 
are worn (how tight).

The real point to the system is to apply enough force to the lower 
extremities to prevent blood pooling.  The system will fill the suit 
until a specific pressure is achieved based on G force of the aircraft.

As a builder, you need to be able to supply enough air to inflate the 
suit to a desired pressure and to bleed that air off when the G force is 
reduced.
