A brilliant invention yet a revolutionary.
A new invention looks set to change Scuba and diving in general. It’s
shocking task lies in the idea of microscopic, nano scale ‘artificial
Gills’, can effectively separate the Oxygen from the water while diving,
on demand. A series of tiny threads or strands have microscopic holes
along their width, which are smaller than water molecules.
It’s called the ‘Triton Oxygen Respirator‘ (Image Below),
a miniature but incredible device that will do away for the need to
move bulky tanks on dives, and allow the dives to last much, much longer
than can be had with current equipment.
The weight accumulations will help emergency responders to move
around more calmly too without having to move bulky and heavy tanks
around with them. We inhale about 6 litres per minute (when resting) and
maybe 10 times that when working tough, so a pack containing 2 or 3
litres of water will stockpile a generous supply of O2, enough to last
long enough to pursuit and salvage people from smoke filled buildings.
The Scuba industry is thinking ahead onto commercial, private and
military ships as a secure device expressed to all passengers and crew,
aircraft too if they have to dive into the sea. It could also be used on
land, by firefighters, with minor adjustments. All they’d need would be
a small canister of water or something identical to a hydration
backpack to excerpt O2 from..there’s lots of O2 in a particular litre of
water..about 630 litres worth.
