Breathe Under Water Without Oxygen Tanks

Posted by timothy on Monday June 6, 2005 @09:08AM from the sans-a-tank dept.

Charlie Paglee writes "An Israeli inventor has developed a way for divers to breathe underwater without cumbersome oxygen tanks. His apparatus makes use of the air that is dissolved in water like the gills of a fish. With patents in Europe and the USA how long will it take for someone to use this to swim the English Channel underwater?"

All of the most amazing things are invented in Israel. It's almost cliche now! Just like launches to space. Used to be a spectacle for the whole world. Now, who cares? Same for Israel and technology. Nobody pays attention when some new whiz-bang thing like this comes from the land of Jesus.
Maybe because the biggest miracle of all is that this tiny democracy can even exist when literally surrounded by so many enemies that wish for its destruction. Drives me nuts how people can be so shortsighted.
