[PSUBS-MAILIST] Unlimited air supply?

[Rob Ossian <rob_neptune@yahoo.com>]

A friend of mine passed me some info on this guy a few
days ago and I have to admit I'm very intrigued by it:

http://www.likeafish.biz/

In a nutshell, a guy named Alan Bodner has figured out
a way to use a high velocity centrifuge to force the
existing oxygen out of seawater to allow sustained
underwater breathing.  Apparently a prototype of his
design is being installed in an underwater habitat in
Australia for further 'real world' testing.

I personally have my doubts as to whether this tool
will ever be compact or safe enough (if it even works)
to replace SCUBA tanks like the inventor hopes, but I
could easily see an application for submersibles and
submarines.  

If nothing else, very interesting concept.
