Perpetual Aquatic Rebreather

Abstract

This device, the PAR, surpasses most currently available SCUBA-type devices in terms of range, time-limits, portability, and etc. Using countercurrent exchange, the design with which fish and other organisms with gill-like structures absorb oxygen from their environment, the invention can produce oxygen almost indefinitely. Through electrolysis of water, and the hydrophobic properties of Teflon, the PAR is able to gain a person access to a reliable oxygen source while submerged underwater. Furthermore, the inner working of the PAR can be summarized as using the electricity from the attached power source to evaporate or split incoming water particles into a gas composed of roughly 33% hydrogen and 66% oxygen, this dilutes the oxygen gas and reduces its toxicity. The gas is then diffused through a hydrophobic Teflon filter and brought to the user, all without any complicated external pipes and heavy tanks.

The embodiments of the invention in which an exclusive property or privilege is claimed are defined as follows: 
     
         1 . Any mechanical apparatus that is not unlike the PAR in purpose and uses the countercurrent exchange principle to deliver the gas to the user. 
     
     
         2 . Any mechanical apparatus that is not unlike the PAR in purpose that produces and delivers gases through the interaction of insulated pipes and permeable filters (e.g. Teflon/PTFE) as described in the Detailed Description of the Invention and depicted in the drawings. 
     
     
         3 . Any mechanical apparatus that is not unlike the PAR in purpose that produces gasses with the help of a sufficient power source like (but not limited to) the waterproof, 12 Volt 23A batteries mentioned in the Detailed Description of the Invention.
