i figured hey this product probably already exists right

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...7RCR90VMX4T5QDC

and it does, for cheaper, on amazon, right now, and also instead of powering one lovely led bulb it powers a lamp and also can charge a phone so it is actually potentially a useful device

yes but that one's name isn't a portmanteau of faaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrttttttttttttt

Triton update!

quote:

Triton: Startup Behind 'Artificial Gills' Refunds Indiegogo Backers and Relaunches Campaign
The startup, which had previously raised more than $800,000 on the crowdfunding site, said it would restart its campaign with more information about how its underwater breathing system works.

they'll probably get even more money the second time

Just-In-Timeberlake
Aug 18, 2003

quote:

Triton's since responded by somewhat clarifying how its diving tech works, saying only that it relies on a combination of the microporous hollow fiber filters in its "gills" and replaceable liquid oxygen cylinders to deliver breathable oxygen. The start-up's holding back any further specifics of how its tech works due to intellectual property concerns. And while that certainly doesn't clear up any of the confusion or skepticism surrounding the project, it definitely hasn't slowed enthusiasm from backers. To date, the relaunched campaign has raised just under $250,000, blowing past its modest $50,000 goal. The "gills," which are priced at $299 for backers and are set to hit retail at $399, are currently slated to ship this December. Just don't hold your breath.

lmaooooooooooo

And before they got called out it was just the micropores part.

yeah, the first thing they teach you when you learn to scuba is never stop breathing

you can free dive with the surface air no problem because that air is at surface pressure, the air you're breathing from your tanks is at whatever pressure it is at your depth, you come up without expelling it and it expands right quick.

my scuba instructor was the most chill guy, but he flipped his poo poo and screamed at me underwater "DIVERS GET HURT CHASING BUBBLES" which really stuck with me

part of the PADI training is taking a breath at 100ft and ascending. it's a weird feeling where you're breathing out but your lungs keep filling up, there are two brain inputs that have always agreed and then they're coming in out of phase for the first time. i can't imagine an unplanned event of that manner :stare:

yeah, I learned on Utila in Honduras which is basically an island that consists of nothing but dive shops, bars/restaurants, and hostels with one grocery store where people come from all over the world over to learn to scuba/be instructors. It's a non-stop party every day/night.

but all that poo poo goes out the window when it's dive time, no loving around. that alone really hammered the seriousness of what we were doing.

ferrero has for a long time been making ads that heavily imply nutella is healthy, with wording like "made from hazelnut and just a hint of cocoa" [and no mention that the other 90% by weight is icing sugar and palm oil] and showing it as "part of a nutritional breakfast" consisting of six eggs, two bran muffins, a whole grapefruit, etc.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2IpVDkg3kL8

so while anyone who reads the ingredients, or has a normal sense of taste, can tell that the stuff is icing in a can, the courts considered the ads misleading enough that they awarded damages for false advertising

iirc if you mail the receipt for a can of nutella bought in the last 5 years or so to ferrero they'll send you a check for $8
