New Diving Breathing System by Israel inventor

With this new diving gadget, you’ll be breathing like a fish. This is better than sea walking off Sabah Gaya islands (Malaysia) anytime.

An Israeli Inventor has developed a breathing apparatus that will allow breathing underwater without the assistance of compressed air tanks. This new invention will use the relatively small amounts of air that already exist in water to supply oxygen to both scuba divers and submarines. The invention has already captured the interest of most major diving manufacturers as well as the Israeli Navy.

Israeli inventor Alon Bodner studied the way fish breathe underwater and came up with a device that extracts the oxygen that exists in sea water and supplies it to the underwater diver.

The system relies on the Henry’s Law which describes the relationship between gas absorption in liquids and the pressure on the liquid. Bodner developed a centrifuge system to alter the pressure on seawater entering into the system to allow the oxygen to be extracted.

The oxygen can then be fed to the diver who can then dive without gas bottles on his back. Rather, he’ll require a battery pack to power the centrifuge. It is claimed that a one-kilo battery can feed oxygen to the diver for around an hour.
