Breathe Under Water Without Oxygen Tanks

Posted by timothy on 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?"

    You won't just be able to breath underwater--you'll take pleasure trips on the surface of the sun.

    Sounds fun. Send me a postcard.

    When going past a certain dept, I think it's mainly a O2 + Helium mix, hence divers sounding like Donard Duck.

    Only the asian ones.
