A scuba mask that allows you to breath underwater as if you were a fish.Cool: A scuba mask that allows you to breath underwater as if you were a fish.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon or from any other book seller. If you want an autographed copy the price is $60 for the hardback and $45 for the paperback, plus $8 shipping for each. Go here for purchasing details. The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

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.
