New wonders every day.

It is my understanding that a human does not want to breath O2 below a depth of 30ft. or less.

[driftdiver]

Pretty cool but there are a myriad of factors to be considered. I wonder how much its been tested.

I hate trusting my life to a battery.

>> The micro battery is a next-generation technology with a size 30 times smaller than current battery that can quickly charge 1,000 times faster.

When you’re actually under the water and your life depends on that battery, those parameters are sort of not the important ones. :-)

[CollegeRepublican]

Very cool. I wonder what happens when silt clogs up the pores?

[Izzy Dunne]

Just came back from a diving vacation in Puerto Rico. I wonder why they call it a "mask" when there's nothing covering the eyes? Do reporters not have common sense anymore? (rhetorical question)

Breathing oxygen is not healthy below about 18 feet. There's a reason they put AIR in the tanks, not oxygen.

Hey, I just got a pacemaker, so I already depend on batteries. I’m thinking an implantable version of this baby. I wanna be an amphibian cyborg!

[MaxMax]

So we're stealing oxygen from those poor fishies and polluting their water with C02?
And the methane coming out of our bodies will kill the whales.

Humans must be banned from using water.

[Zathras]

It might work on the surface but I’m pretty sure it won’t work at depth.
Every 33 ft you need to generate another Bar of pressure just to be able to expand your lungs against water pressure.

So the old James Bond “Rebreather” is finally a reality! I love technology...

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

The only problem I see from the description is that humans breathe air (21% oxygen)....not oxygen. Scuba tanks contain compressed air...not oxygen.

Unless there is something that does the mixing between the oxygen storage and the mouthpiece.

[Talisker]

Wow, an invention that covers 90% of swimming situations and 100% of emergencies isn’t good enough?! America is doomed.

[GOPJ]

Would be a great back-up for cave divers...

Here we go!

Maybe now they can talk electric cars.

[Izzy Dunne]

it allows divers to focus on the aquatic wonders around them instead of on trying to make head and tail of what the oxygen mask and its accompanying not-so-small tank are up to.

I'm relatively new to diving, but I know you don't wear an oxygen mask.

I did 8 dives in the last three weeks and spent very little time "trying to make head and tail" of what the gear was up to. It just doesn't happen. You check your gear on the surface, keep equalizing your ears as you descend and you don't think about it.

The clown who wrote this is just trying too hard.

Interesting. I want to see this when it makes its way near me.
