Gill-Mimicking Scuba Masks

The Triton Oxygen Respirator Extracts Air Underwater

— January 5, 2014 — Eco
With something like the Triton Oxygen Respirator, it might be possible to breathe beneath the surface of the water as if you were a fish. Requiring no bulky tank to keep your lungs pumping properly, this interesting concept for a piece of scuba diving equipment is ergonomic and organic in design.

The regulator comprises a plastic mouthpiece that requires you to simply bite down. Connected to this, there are two arms that branch out to the sides of the scuba mask, developed to function like the efficient gills of a marine creature. The scaly texture conceals small holes in the material where water is sucked into Jeabyun Yeon's Triton. The simplified idea is that inner chambers separate the hydrogen from the oxygen and release it, enabling you to inhale the collected gas comfortably within the ocean.
Trend Themes
1. Breathing Underwater - The concept of gill-mimicking scuba masks like the Triton Oxygen Respirator presents a disruptive innovation opportunity for the scuba diving industry by allowing divers to breathe underwater without bulky oxygen tanks.
2. Ergonomic Scuba Gear - The ergonomic and organic design of the Triton Oxygen Respirator represents a trend in scuba diving equipment, offering divers a more comfortable and natural diving experience.
3. Efficient Gas Separation - The idea of using inner chambers to separate hydrogen from oxygen in scuba masks like the Triton Oxygen Respirator opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in gas separation technology.
Industry Implications
1. Scuba Diving - The scuba diving industry can benefit from gill-mimicking scuba masks like the Triton Oxygen Respirator, which provide a new way for divers to explore underwater without bulky oxygen tanks.
2. Dive Gear Manufacturing - Dive gear manufacturers can capitalize on the trend of ergonomic scuba equipment by developing more comfortable and natural designs for scuba masks and other diving gear.
3. Gas Separation Technology - The gas separation industry has the opportunity to innovate and optimize the methods of separating hydrogen from oxygen within scuba masks like the Triton Oxygen Respirator for various applications beyond scuba diving.
