South Korean designer Jeabyun Yeon claims to have invented an oxygen mask which can draw air from water as you swim, allowing users to breathe underwater without oxygen tanks.
Called Triton, the mask is a mouthpiece respirator that allows users to breathe underwater by simply biting on the mouthpiece, which eliminates the need to inhale or exhale.
According to reports, the mask’s two arms act like the gills of a fish.
The water is first sucked in by the arms. The oxygen is then extracted by a filter with fine threads and with holes smaller than water molecules.
The excess fluid is then released while the oxygen is stored using a micro compressor inside a small tank.
The compressor is powered by a micro battery that is supposedly 30 times smaller than its contemporaries, but charges a thousand times faster.
Yeon himself describes it as “a future product”, not yet available in stores, that could change people’s approach to water.

This story is true.. Only the fact's have been changed.
Didn’t this fail ?
How many people died using this
The "problem" (as if there were only one) is that this device is fake and impossible. It would take a battery the size of a house, and an electrolysis grid that weighs 100 pounds. I won't even go into problems caused by chemistry, such as salt water producing chlorine instead of o2, or the fact pure o2 is toxic under deep diving pressure and MUST be diluted by an inert gas such as helium or nitrogen… and there are other issues… This mask is technically possible only if you need tiny amounts of o2, but that would require you to be small compared to the device. If you go read up on this, you will find many technical people telling you exactly why it is impossible, but the summation is it is too small to do what the "inventor" claims. This is one of those things that will work in a fictional sci-fi story, but not in reality as we know it. The battery at 4 times the normal density is still too small, and packing it with an auxlilary o2 cartridge takes up battery space, and gives you an extra 2 minutes of o2… The "inventor" has tried to make all sorts of claims, but they just don't hold up to scrutiny. And the videos are all special effects, Hollywood can make anything possible in a video, that doesn't make it true.
What a name?
Where do you sell it?
I'll subscribe if you let me know.
어디서 팔아요?
알려주시면 구독해드림.
Youtube has a lot of innovation haters. poor people
Where can we buy it? I really want it
Holes smaller than the water atoms…Wow amazing! What kind of element is the filter made of?
I watch this in 2018 but still no production of this…fake
Invention brought to you by SD6.
거짓말이래여!
Hhhhh lier
Where u buy this and what it called?
Four surfers a live un maui nazare
This is like them things from starvwars
As a seasoned diver I have serious concerns about the claims this makes! If the battery is so good why haven't the mobile phone companies jumped on the bandwagon? and to filter and pump enough O2 to the swimmer the batter and pump would have to filter and provide almost a coke bottles worth of air to the swimmer when even at a shallow depth. I am sure the military would love something like this but until I personally see one in action I wouldn't touch it!!
Why is this utter BS scam still on YT? It was debunked by actual scientists as soon as it was unveiled (4 years ago). It was funded via a crowdsourcing site, and the pseudo inventor/scammer was sued by his patrons and ordered to repay 92 million (I believe).
How much is it and where can i get it?!!
No guys i tried it. It worked for about 4 minutes until i started to permanently damage my body
IT WORKS AS LONG AS U HAVE SCUBA TANK
0:25 oxygen molecules are bigger than water molecules.
Any way, it would need to take in around 100 litres of water per minute (around 2 litres per second)
thats so fake
What if the battery runs out
prototype from metal gear
You could still get the bends or oxygen poisoning
FAKE
Also on this day, April 1st…….
Do you know psy?? Do you know Ji sung park?? Do you know kimchi!!
It’s not real
I love all these skeptical comments from 4 years ago. They are all pretty quiet now though that everyone has one of these and the invention has changed swimming forever.
GUYS DON'T BUY THE FACE MASK SNORKEL, since you can breathe through your mouth AND nose, there us more carbon dioxide build-up, which can lead to dizziness, and when you're dizzy, it's hard to tell what's going on, you might be drowning, and not know it
water contain very small amount of oxygen
Should have gave it to amphibious /k/ommando
This is total rubbish.
How much dose the triton cost
I can't believe this video still exists after being so thoroughly debunked…..
Fake
This can't be real
Reminds me of subnautica
how to get it
What I'm curious in is the straw that let's you drink 3to5+/-? liters from ANY water source.
How do they filter out the salt?
This mask won’t work it is impossible. Oxygen molecules are bigger than water molecules because in nature o is o2 which means there is two oxygen molecules
Old video . It failed. Maybe someday.
Im not taking any chances cause once your fvcked, your fvcked lol
