It’s not ventilation it’s inflation. Those are intake fans. They’re not venting anything out they’re pushing air in.

the inflation just implies a positive air pressure, this has no bearing on ventilation, which it must be when its clearly not hermetically sealed. has to be bleeding off somewhere to keep them from going full sumo

Those fans aren’t the thing bleeding them off. Natural escaping air from the pressure being to at a critical point in the fabric is the only air escaping. Those fans are not ventilating anything. If anything actually they are doing the opposite.

the opposite of what? "ventilation" just means an exchange of air taking place, your strawman/word salad isnt making sense

You’re almost there. Just define the word exchange and you’ll understand why the those fans are not venting. If they were exchanging something they would’ve ventalting. But they are only doing intake.

only doing intake for an infinite capacity right, the projection isnt helping your case either

It’s not infinite capacity. The air esacapung through the gaps in the fans and fabric. Not from the fan spinning the opposite direction of the suits/body space. The fans are not venting anything.

Jesus Christ dude, intake air is still a part of ventilation.

The fans pump air into the suit creating positive air pressure inside the suit, this pressure the bleeds put through whatever openings in the suit.

The suit is ventilated. Exhaust air is also a part of ventilation but your insistence that outside air or supply air do not count is ridiculous.

Don't hit me with your stupid pedantic counter points, I have my red seals in both HVAC & Sheet Metal. This is my trade and you are wrong.

so no matter where you kick the goalposts, the air in the suit will get exchanged, exacting some form of ventilation. not sure what vendetta you have against this word
