LIKE A FISH - REVOLUTIONARY UNDERWATER BREATHING SYSTEM
Posted Wednesday, Dec. 14, 2005 on IsraCast.com
Inventor Alon Bodner
An Israeli Inventor has developed a breathing apparatus that will allow breathing underwater without the assistance of compressed air tanks. This new invention will use the relatively small amounts of air that already exist in water to supply oxygen to both scuba divers and submarines. The invention has already captured the interest of most major diving manufacturers as well as the Israeli Navy.
The system developed by Bodner uses a well known physical law called the "Henry Law" which describes gas absorption in liquids. This law states that the amount of gas that can be dissolved in a liquid body is proportional to the pressure on the liquid body. The law works in both directionslowering the pressure will release more gas out of the liquid. This is done by a centrifuge which rotates rapidly thus creating under pressure inside a small sealed chamber containing sea water. The system will be powered by rechargeable batteries. Calculations showed that a one kilo Lithium battery can provide a diver with about one hour of diving time.
Brilliant insight Already has patents.
Something new under the sun......or perhaps more correctly, under the water

Heck they can move the GTA under lake Ontario and use these contraptions to swim to work. Think of all the GHGs it'll save when they shut down all that congestion spewing GHGs every day. You never know, maybe the skies will clear as well.

It's the great Nyah-nyah-Na-na-na-GHGs-Are-Silly double act ... featuring ehMac's very own Threadworms

With Global Warming, it's assured that many shorelines will soon be underwater... kind of a moot point....
Gills for us....maybe
