[EVA] Re: Eva's oxygen

[Jonathan Gaters]

    First of all, there are LCL filters, they are mentioned in the series. It's
easier to pull air from the atmoshpere than have Oxygen stored, it cuts down on
the weight. (Having external oxygen intake may be the reason why B-type equipment
doesn't work under-water.)

    Second, LCL is proably thinner than water, holds Oxygen better than air, and
releases it into the lungs better than when breathing air. If all of these
criteria are not met, the Children would have a very hard time breathing it.

    Third, the entry plug probably contains several dozen gallons of LCL. All
that Oxygenated fluid can't be used up by a human quickly. The human lungs only
remove about 30% of the Oxygen from the air (or other) that we breathe. When we
exhale, our bodies produce Oxygen as a by-product (not as much as Carbon Dioxied,
but enough to be a signifigant amount), which means that when you breathe in an
unventilated area, you put some Oxygen back into the air. Another factor that
goes into how long someone can exsist in the LCL, when humans breeathe, we only
exchange around 12% of the air in our lungs.

    Finally, it wouldn't be smart to just put cameras in the eyes of the Eva.
Take Unit-00, for example. It only has one eye. It would really mess up Rei's
depth perception (e.g. she wouldn't be able to shoot worth a damn). It makes more
sense that there are camreas ditrobuted throughout the front half of the head of
an Eva.
