Now this is what I call a Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.
It's no George Jetson mobile...but way cool, if it works.

t's called the 'Triton Oxygen Respirator', a small but remarkable device that will do away for the need to carry bulky tanks on dives, and allow the dives to last much, much longer than can be had with conventional equipment.
It's amazing function lies in the design of tiny, nano scale 'artificial Gills', a series of small strands or threads have tiny holes along their length, which are smaller than water molecules, and can effectively separate the Oxygen from the water while diving, on demand.

I'm also wondering how long it will take to clog up the nano-pores with salt and minerals. There are probably still a few obstacles to overcome, but gills are a very intriguing alternative to carrying your air supply on your back.
