What if a person can breathe a liquid?
Nov 18, 2010
Impressive, is not it? This possibility opens up some future prospects. If the person can breathe a liquid, which will be saturated with oxygen it will enable the diver is at a depth of 900 meters and not feel awkward and uncomfortable in a larger diving equipment.
Then we can not be afraid of the bends, which occurs due to saturation of the human body with nitrogen. But to achieve success in this business need to spend over your body wants to risk a very serious work. This idea of breathing in the aquatic environment using liquid, which is very well dissolve oxygen, has long been developed by scientists. Back in the 80's navy in large experiments were conducted on mice.
Through which scientists have had some effect, and demonstrated that mice can breathe in water. The very first experiment, the participants were white mouse. During the experiment, mice were immersed in a closed container filled with saline solution. In this tank at a pressure of 8 atmospheres of oxygen took place (such a pressure equivalent to normal air breathing). After some time after immersion test animals was as if nothing had happened unfamiliar environment and without interference to breathe oxygen in salt water.
The experiment lasted for 10-15 hours, except that one of the mice could survive 18 hours. In one experiment, young participants in the study under pressure of 160 atmospheres, which is equivalent to what they would be lowered into the water at 1600 meters. However, after the mice returned to a normal environment, most of them died. Scientists have noticed that it happened because of small respiratory animals, when the mice returned to normal conditions excess water does not come out and stuck in the lung tissue, which subsequently led to suffocation and death.
Unfortunately, the physical body can not cope when you inhale and exhale with the liquid so quickly that it led to the assimilation of oxygen and release carbon dioxide. However, according to one of the scientists as possible, but if the subject will be some very unpleasant procedures. To start divers will need to wear a helmet with a perforated liquid medium saturated with oxygen. The problem is that the liquid will have to breathe, but so as not to choke on, and it is possible either by duration of training, any medical intervention or by placing a special tube down his throat.
Lungs must be filled with fluid using a special breast-shell, on the principle of the pump will make a quick breath in order to prevent asphyxia. But that's not all, because the problem with the release of carbon dioxide have not been resolved. Through a catheter inserted into the femoral artery, blood will pass through a special membrane filter for removal of carbon dioxide. As you are now the prospect of free breathing underwater? Would you dive to a depth of a helmet with a tube in his throat, a membrane filter on the thigh and with a special pump on the chest in the shape of the carapace. You have not changed your mind?
