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

This can’t be right...It suffers from two huge problems.

The first is oxygen toxicity...It would be dangerous to use below 10-15 feet in depth.

Secondly, an active diver requires about a quart of oxygen per minute. If seawater has 8ppm oxygen, you’d need to filter 51 gallons of it through the device per minute to supply enough oxygen to sustain him. I have a hard time seeing that device pushing 51 gpm even if it were nuclear powered. :)
