New Technology Allows Humans To Breathe Underwater
New Technology Allows Humans To Breathe Underwater
oxygen tanks. Well, that dream may soon become a reality thanks to a new
technology developed by a team of scientists.
The technology, which involves a small implant that can be inserted into the body,
allows humans to extract oxygen from water through a process called electrolysis.
The implant uses a small electric current to break down water molecules into their
component elements of hydrogen and oxygen. The oxygen is then stored in a small
tank within the implant, which can be accessed by the user through a small tube
inserted into the mouth.
The implant is small enough to be easily concealed and is powered by a small battery
that can be recharged wirelessly. The technology has been tested successfully in
laboratory conditions and is currently being developed for use in a variety of
underwater applications, including scuba diving, marine exploration, and military
operations.
