Breathe Under Water Without Oxygen Tanks 473
Charlie Paglee writes "An Israeli inventor has developed a way for divers to breathe underwater without cumbersome oxygen tanks. His apparatus makes use of the air that is dissolved in water like the gills of a fish. With patents in Europe and the USA how long will it take for someone to use this to swim the English Channel underwater?"

About 10 minutes, just enough time for the keel of one of the kajillion freighters that go up and down the channel to hit the guy's head...

Uh, the keel would be the least of your worries.. your real cause for concern would be the big food-processors to the stern.

I don't know. Probably about the same length of time it would take without the patents.

If you're swimming in the superheated water surrounding a volcanic vent on the ocean floor, I'd say you have more pertinent concerns than the extra sulfur your rebreather might be picking up.

Not so! You just need a really long extension cord and an AC adapter....
