Readers!
Every February I run a fund-raising drive during my birthday month. This year I celebrate my 72nd birthday, and hope and plan to continue writing and posting on Behind the Black for as long as I am able.
I hope my readers will support this effort. As I did in my November fund-raising drive, I am offering autographed copies of my books for large donations. Donate $250 and you can have a choice of the hardback of either Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8 or Conscious Choice: The origins of slavery in America and why it matters today and for our future in outer space. Donate $200 and you can get an autographed paperback copy of either.
Please consider supporting my work here at Behind the Black. My analysis of space, politics, and culture, taken from the perspective of an historian, is almost always on the money and ahead of the game. For example, in 2020 I correctly predicted that the COVID panic was unnecessary, that the virus was apparently simply a variation of the flu, that masks were not simply pointless but if worn incorrectly were a health threat, that the lockdowns were a disaster and did nothing to stop the spread of COVID. Every one of those 2020 conclusions has turned out right.
Your help allows me to do this kind of intelligent analysis. I take no advertising or sponsors, so my reporting isn't influenced by donations by established space or drug companies. Instead, I rely entirely on donations and subscriptions from my readers, which gives me the freedom to write what I think, unencumbered by outside influences.
You can support me either by giving a one-time contribution or a regular subscription. There are four ways of doing so:
1. Zelle: This is the only internet method that charges no fees. All you have to do is use the Zelle link at your internet bank and give my name and email address (zimmerman at nasw dot org). What you donate is what I get.
2. Patreon: Go to my website there and pick one of five monthly subscription amounts, or by making a one-time donation.
3. A Paypal Donation or subscription:
4. Donate by check, payable to Robert Zimmerman and mailed to

This has got to be a hoax. There is this little problem with water PRESSURE. At a depth of more than a couple feet, you’d never be able to inhale with all that PRESSURE squashing your ribcage flat!
I expect you’re right, but your reasoning just explains the need for the compressor.
Compressors need volume to be effective.
How is a “micro” anything going to fill the 2-3L of the human lungs, for each breath, while under pressure?
SCUBA tanks inflate the lungs with pressurized air. No extra pressure, no inflate.
As a kid I swam to the bottom of 12 foot deep swimming pool, with a garden hose to use as an extra-long snorkel. Upon breathing out, I SUDDENLY realized I couldn’t suck hard enough to get another breath. In near panic, I surfaced as quickly as I could. Never to try that again…
Seems fishy to me.
Its just a concept working off of the new Air extraction cartridges they think could be made with the new technology.
They would have to also extract carbon dioxide from your exhalation and keep the nitrogen. Replacing the Co2 with Oxygen from the water.
They are making a huge leap of faith that the new extraction tech would do all it needs to do.
There would be no difference in pressure, you would be breathing at an ambient level related to the depth that you were at. When you are trying to breath, in my experience, more than aprox. 2 feet below the surface of the water your muscles are unable to over come the pressure difference. You breath at the surface at the ambient pressure, the pressure within your lungs is equal to the atmosphere, 14.7 inside, 14.7 outside, no pressure difference to overcome.
As to the device, you have to admit that its pretty cool if it indeed does work. I wounder what the max dive and depth limit calculations might be? As to the design itself I find the two protruding filtering pods would tend to put too much leverage on your mouth / teeth. Maybe a kind of helmet that incorporates the whole package would offer better functionality. Again, if it and the technology does indeed exist and this item is not just a concept and just a computer representation.
The pressure equalization and volume is also a problem.
