Breathe Like a Fish

Wow! this sounds amazing. As a scuba diver myself, I can only imagine the freedom gained by using something like this. This makes a somewhat inaccessable hobby into something anyone can do with almost zero training the way it sounds (as long as it doesn't cost a fortune :confused: ). Where do I sign up?
|
Probably 2010. All that's been built is a lab model, which is probably big enough for a lab rat.
I wonder if they can do this in reverse, and keep the CO<sub>2</sub> in my soda from bubbling out? |
cool idea. makes me wonder tho. what happens when a submarine and enough divers use the 'dissolved oxygen' in the water. do fish start to drown because we're using all their oxygen and the currents aren't regenerating it fast enough?
|
I was thinking the exact same thing slant eyes. Then again, if this did become an issue I'm sure they'd invent some kind oversize fishtank pump that'll float on the surface and pump air into the water.
|
Im sure it doesn't work like that, as the oxygen is used up it would be replaced naturally
|
There is no way we can use up the O2 in the water. The ocean is a BIG place. Diffusion would lead to very rapid redistribution of the dissolved gases as soon as they are taken out of the water by this system.
|
Woah, lets get things sorted, the breather used in episode one contains LOTS of compressed gas, it doesn't filter it from the water...
Right, now that we've got that little error sorted, cool! :D |
Cool idea, but what happens when you need an emergency tank of air on land, hmmm??
Scuba! ;) |
Well, just use mouthwash after you are done eating pussy.
/ goes back, reads article ...what? Oh, he meant breathe like a fish, not breath like a fish. Nevermind... ;) |
This idea rocks.

and to me, if it were using the dissolved air only, it would take some time to replenish it as well. remember i'm not talking about a mere 1 soul out there with this new breathing apparatus. i'm talkin lots of divers and submarines. the idea in itself is cool. but you can't deny that x amount of years ago, when aerosol cans were invented, there wasn't 1 person that said...'it's the atmosphere, what will 1 can do to it'...and now? we have managed to fuck the world up. i'm just bein a bit cautious. i would love to dive and explore but not at the expense of all sealife. |
Cool
I wouldn't have thought that there was enough oxygen in the water in order for this. Using Dalton's Law, there is a very small mol% of oxygen in a volume of water. Of course, if the device can process enough water in the specified amount of time, that problem goes away. |

For a submarine, could it provide oxygen to breathe and hydrogen to power the sub? That would be awesome.

Edit: Same thing but for beer, not soda. Remember, if it's Guinness, it needs to be nitrogen. |
oxygen will never run out in the oceans because.. there are usually constant storms somewhere in the ocean..... there are waves, i dunno if the plants there do anything or not, engines from boats... ect they all turn up the water and add oxygen to it.
its like having a fish in a bowl if you dont change the water every other day or so ( i dont know exactlky how it works) the fish will die, but if you would blow air into the water through a straw it would live longer.. |
