Breathing mask converter

Breathing

Move over Mr. Diver Bond, the future of diving is here. The mask, dubbed Triton, acts like a fish gill to extract oxygen from water so that the user can keep on breathing while under the sea. Designer Jeabyun Yeon, who came up with the concept, believes it will change the way people approach water. He conceptualized an artificial gill that would extract oxygen from the water for you in an on-demand fashion as you swim, obviating the need for bulky SCUBA gear.

@pcooperi2 ?It's total BS

@pcooperi2 Sounds interesting.

@dschmidti4 ?It's scientifically impossible but cool

@doliveri5 Fish need the same 02 as we do in order to breath.?

@doliveri5 If fish bigger than humans can extract and use the dissolved oxygen in the water by the use of their gills, then it is certainly feasible that scientist can find a way to artificially create a gill for humans

?I want the number of the company that manufactured this breather to import from here and sell it in my country?

@sdanielsid Doesn't even pass basic physics muster. Seawater holds less than 10 ppm O2.

@sdanielsid the concept is good but it is actually impossible to carry., Unless you are not human.

@aknightif ?first they aren't splitting water into H2 and O, they are extracting dissolved oxygen?

And the joke continues...??

@rkelleyih nothing is impossible

@rkelleyih ?Except it doesn't work...

If it doesn't extract a relatively inert gas, as well, then it will kill its users via oxygen toxicity at quite shallow depths.

@akellyik It sucks because I've done the research on it and they've made a prototype?

  • Reply

@akellyik We are not fish and don't have the specialised blood, muscles or gills to breathe underwater.

@aolsonim This could be much more convincing.

@aolsonim ?Breathing pure oxygen under water. Genius

@bwebbio Right up until you get oxygen toxicity (at about 6m), blackout and die. Other than that - brilliant.

?Finally !

?maybe not legit

@vkimis It is false, humans can not breathe pure oxygen as they intoxicate, nor could breathe a mixture of oxygen and hydrogen.?

  • Reply

@vkimis You can't pull THAT much air out of water to?breathe?continuously.

@rgonzalesiu All the spies in movies had these since the 90's.... Why dont we have this yet??

  • Reply

@sroseiv So nothing new; we're just waiting for the technology to make this possible

  • Reply

@rgonzalesiu Oxygen becomes rapidly toxic at depth ? prolonged exposure to pure oxygen below a few meters can kill you

  • Reply

?I should probably buy one to use it in my house.. given the pollution around us..

  • Reply

@dmorenoiy maybe this sucks as an oxygen respirator

  • Reply

@kleeiz So breathing 100% pure Oxygen is toxic and will kill a human?

  • Reply

@dmartinezj0 the physics make this impossible and pure oxygen kills at depth.

  • Reply

@dmorenoiy Awesome

@dmorenoiy Haha best HOAX ever...

Come on James Bond!!

I'll stick with my Snorkel until underwater battery charging stations or the swim through service station is built. Next, under water coffee shops yeah!

@aoliverj5 I should probably buy one to use it in my house.. given the pollution around us..

@aoliverj5 look you can finally be a mermaid

  • Reply

@aoliverj5 ?just vaporware, but interesting concept.

@pbishopj8 Won't work...dont buy into.the hype

  • Reply

@pbishopj8 we know that already

Reading the blurb it is clear the inventor appears to have no idea about SCUBA diving equipment and practices,
