    [TRADE] Inflation Laboratory/Pedal Laboratory

    Hello my fellow looners,

    I am looking for content of these studios: "The Inflation Laboratory"and The Pedal Laboratory". Especially the ones with bellows pedal footpumps:

    Alina Blows an Eleven-Foot-Long Italian Balloon (MP4 -1080p)

    Alina has been given a rare Italian-made balloon with one of the longest aspect ratios ever produced, which was once known as a Rifco RGL80. She tries a few hard puffs, but decides that she needs to start it with the foot pump. That accomplished, she puts a few powerful breaths into it, and gets it to about two-thirds of full length, but runs out of neck, and is afraid of popping it. She resumes use of the measurement mouthpiece, in part to keep a grip on it, and manages to get it almost to the end before it fails, in part due to age. Still a very impressive effort and achievement with a balloon we wish would be re-issued!


    Nadia Blows and Pumps a 42-inch Beach Ball (MP4 - 1080p)

    It's been a white since we've tested a large beach ball, so we thought that would be a good assignment for Nadia.  She knows that these vinyl inflatables do not explode like a balloon or hot water bottle, and can even be challenging to determine when they to rip a seam or otherwise spring a leak.  She also knows that a 42-inch beach ball can hold a *lot* of air, so even with her above-average lung capacity, she decided to get it to size with the foot pumps, then blow during the critical phase when it might fail.  She is wearing a very comfortable pair of sandals that let her toes flex as she mashes the pedals to their limits, and gets a good leg workout inflating the ball to size.  She then attaches a rubber tube with a tuba mouthpiece, takes a big breath, and puffs hard.  She does this again and again, filling her cheeks to capacity, until she experiences some discomfort near her jaw and ear.  Finally, she switches to the air compressor, and watches the pressure recorder to try to detect a leak.  When it happens, it's quite clear - about an inch-long rip.  She covers it with tape, and watches again to see where the next failure will be.  This time, its an even bigger tear.  She decides that she has determined the pressure at which these rips typically occur, and calls the experiment complete.


    Chichi Blows and Pumps a 36" balloon (MP4 - 1080p)

    Chichi has been blowing some big and tough things up all day, and *then* someone drops a huge 36" round balloon in her inbox.  Is this a joke?  Ever the trooper, she sets it up on a blowing tube with the high-volume foot pumps.  She's wearing the perfect sandals for some deep and extended pedal pumping, but wants to at least start out with lung power.  She huffs and puffs, then tries out the pedals to make sure they are working, and continues alternating back and forth until the giant balloon finally explodes.  While no worse for the wear, she is definitely relieved.


    Teagan Tests Shoes for Pedal Pumping (MP4 - 720p)

    Teagan has brought a number of shoes to the laboratory to determine which works best for repetitive pedal pumping. Please note that all of our new pedal pumping clips may be found at www.clips4sale.com/120675.


    Chichi Tests Shoes for Pedal Pumping (MP4 720p)

    Chichi wants to see which shoes are most like bare feet for pedal pumping. She first tries out the pedals completely barefoot, and demonstrates some of the most flexible toes we've seen! Then she moves on to a nice T-strap sandal with a low wedge heel, and then a low-heeled thong sandal with practically unlimited flexibility. We believe she is the first technician here to press the valve all the way down with her toes fully in contact with the pedal. On the big grey bellows pump pedal, she even manages to lift up her heel after fully depressing the pedal with her toes, causing the thong to curl upward as much as its decorative elements allow. She then tries a simple flat sandal, and finally, a rare high-heeled thong sandal, and again demonstrates superb flexibility.


    Bailey Evaluates Shoes for Pedal Pumping (MP4 720p)

    Bailey tries out several different types of sandals on her tiny size 5 feet, in search of the one that comes the closest to the feeling of being barefoot while operating the lab's assortment of pedals. Her small size and limber toes enable her to get maximum travel from even the very difficult valve!


    Jolene Tests Shoes for Pedal Pumping (MP4 720p)

    Jolene has brought in a few different shoes - all types of sandals - in an effort to find the show that most closely approximates barefoot pedal pumping. She first tries her long toes on our four different types of pedals, mashing each all the way down several times. She then tries a black strappy flat sandal, then a silver high heeled sandal, then a black flat sandal with a single broad strap across the toes, and finally, a silver thong sandal. After announcing her preference, she indulges in another round of barefoot pedal pumping, declaring that there is still nothing better.


    Valora Tests the Volume of the Bellows Foot Pump (MP4 720p)

    Valora has been suspicious that the actual volume per stroke of the Bravo II foot pump is less that the specified 5.8 litres. She has devised a couple of tests to examine this. She begins by using the spirometer, using a special coupling to attach it to the pump, and them using her toes to mash the pedal completely down, and hold it. Sure enough, she finds that its "lung capacity" is about half what is claimed, and comparable to her own. To illustrate, she fills her lungs fully, and blows a green balloon as far as she can with one breath. Then, she holds the air in it, and fills another one as far as a single stroke of the bellows foot pump can achieve, and compares the two.
