Triton artificial gill: BUSTED!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ส.ค. 2024
- So over the last couple of weeks I got so many requests to do a video on the Triton 'artificial gill' system.
Its bull$hit on sooo many levels. The amazing thing is it seems to have been 'released' about 2 years ago and made a big splash, although many were sceptical. Now 2 years on they have an indiegogo campaign and within days pull in almost a million dollars for a project that is bullshit from the start!
Many thanks to all those who supported this video, and this channel through patreon:

"battery charges 100x faster" and probably has 100x less capacity, hence why
1000x faster... hence you weren’t listening haha
ThreepE0 His point is still sound, so I don't know what your point was...
They are trying to promote another bullshit called "super capacitors"
@@gutenman7112 Actually, those are real, just new. Some are replacing car batteries with them, but with the obvious drawback of no reserve power if the car doesn't start.
@@garychandler4296 it almost been 10 years since I first heard of the project . They still havent get there yet . It promises that it will have unlimited life cycle . Do you believe that ?
Not gonna lie but i came up with the same idea when i was 8
Jrmclaughlin childhood 😉
Yeah every kid thought of this idea when they were 8
I just thought of a device that shits for you. who do I contact about my million dollars
@@MonBerry an *
I was 6
I bought my wife one of these Gills. It worked perfectly.
I even got to keep it after the investigation. Just in case my second wife gets annoying.
Worked with mine too
Perfect sense of humor
So essentially to get rich, you need to make some stupid thing like this that sounds smart and have a whole bunch of idiots fund it, then when you get millions of dollars just say that your project is canceled, but instead you secretly take all the crowd funded r&d money into your pocket and use it for whatever you want
@Atur Sams as simple as a homeless guy buying a house, just dont get sued, simple!
@Atur Sams it's a meme
I'm sure people can get away with it if they're smart. All they really have to do is use some of the money for things that are related to what they say they'll do, then pay the rest in huge salaries to themselves and their friends (who they hire).
You don't have to scam anyone you can just make something legit stupid that people will still pay you for. For example their was a guy who charged people like 50 dollars for a fake Drone hunting license. Keep in mind he didn't lie to them, he put down on the bottom of the store page and in every license in small print that this was a fake license and that legally you still can't shoot down drones. Didn't matter, people still bought up and the guy made a ton profit wise since all he had to pay for was the nice paper to print the license on and a frame.
@Atur Sams depends on which platform you crowdfund on. Indiegogo actually has fine print in their user agreements that says you can fail to deliver your product and not be required to give the backers any refunds.
It's basically a free for all where you can promise anything, get money, and never deliver.
Kickstarter specifically has policies to prevent such a thing. Which is why it's much more popular
But he has the CAD drawings, so he must be legit. Lesson: CAD skills increases con-artist potency.
They probs paided someone
Cad will pay for itself no matter what you do with it.

Rodrigo Amorim hhhhhh
lol
Rodrigo Amorim technically just oxygen gas
Rodrigo Amorim they do that on submarines i believe
i don't think so.... have you heard of apollo 1? oxygen isn't explosive by itself, but 99% of the materials on a submarine would explode if taken to a 100% oxygen enviroment....
fss1704 anything under 80% oxygen wont ignite and submarines are preasure vessels and have carbon filtering O2 production system
"The need to breathe isn't based on your body needing Oxygen, but rather, your body needing to be rid of CO2."
12 years of schooling and this fact was never taught to me. I feel like this is an important distinction.
Just to be clear, because it's worded a bit weirdly: for several essential processes in your body, you need O2 (Complex 4 of the energy transport chain) in order to generate energy. The breathing in of Oxygen is essential to survive, so breathing is mainly about getting in O2; it's just that the urge to breathe in a healthy person is mainly controlled by your brain by the reaction product (CO2) and not O2 itself. This is done by measuring the partial pressure of CO2 and also the pH of your blood.
So you could say: you breathe (why?) because you need O2, you breathe (how?) because you need to get rid of CO2.
Ha! The same happened to me when I learned that oxygen is also killing us slowly.
I mean, it's not strictly correct. You need to breathe to get oxygen, but your body measures the oxygen you have via how much CO2 is in your blood. Which means that if you are in a sufficiently pressurized anoxic enviroment, you'll die without suffering any pain or warning that you are dying. Your body assumes because it's not breathing in tons of CO2, you must be breathing in plenty of oxygen and you just start to die.
Inversely, in a weird case of your body being hilariously unprepared for weird edge cases, If you were to be in a high CO2 enviroment, even if it has sufficient oxygen, will cause your body to freak the fuck out, and slowly cause your lungs to become acidic. This is widely considered to be a bad thing.
What stimulates breathing is the chemoreceptors that sense CO2, but hypoxia is also a secondary stimulation for breathing. Both are important. So much so, that the bodies of people with COPD (emphysema or chronic bronchitis) actually develop a certain insensitivity to low Oxygen levels on their blood (if this didn't exist they would just not develop this...) And can be at a 86% oxygen saturation without feeling like they need more air. A normal person would feel like they're drowning at 86% .... So it's not completely accurate to say that hypoxia doesn't stimulate breathing , like the video says, but I guess he's trying to simplify it...
Who told you that shit😂😂
It's really weird going back to this video 6 years later and seeing just how wrong Thunderf00t was about everything. Watching this videos from one of the many underwater colonies established following Triton's release to the mass market, it's bizarre to think anyone doubted that this would be anything other than the most significant invention in modern history.
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
yeah. I could buy one from 711 in New Atlantis .
Don't forget about when Musk and Trump used Elons mind link and become Trusk. A single entity that is our new God.

+plezx29 London's esteemed Bollox Univerity conducted a "pier" review study on the river Thames, that concluded dehydrated water would reduce accidental drowning deaths by100%. Even Thouderf00t can't debunk Bollock University and a 100% success rate.

why use a re-breather when you can use a bag of Lay's

gamer bunny cause there is no oxygen in a bag of lays to keep them fresh. yes I'm fun at parties

Lay's are called Walkers over here.
MrRedeyedJedi where's that at?
Probably never heard of oxygen poisoning when diving.
Yes, I would love to see how a diver experiencing Oxygen Euphoria would handle breathing through that thing at all.
Similar to Nitrogen Narcosis, you don't even know you are under the water when it reaches a critical level.
This is my first thought. Most do not know that oxygen under pressure is fatal.
Oxygen is necessary, tho. That's why people fill the tanks with mixture of noble gas, nitrogen and oxygen instead of just noble gas.
(Also, oxygen tanks used in shallow diving actually contains more oxygen than atmospheric air.)
@@xwtek3505 yes
But to much can cause problems
literally had the idea of trying to make something like this when i was 8 and realized how unreachable it was like 2 years later.

Simple challenge for Triton: Just show a video of that guy swimming underwater in the pool for 45 minutes. Then you'll get your orders.

Sure, they can hire a dophine do their demo : p
When the guy says the 'gill' has a battery 30 times smaller than a regular battery, that's a major red flag for me. That battery alone (if it existed) would be a major revolutionary invention - so yeah - it's bullshit.
T. Gorbach that battery alone, if scaled up to a hybrid cars battery, would be enough to even beat tesla’s high end cars. Good thing it’s bs
The tesla battery are pretty small but there is a lot of them
Don't forget it also charges 1000 times faster than regular batteries. Probably at 100% efficiency. or more.
That kind of battery would most likely exist but the government(s) would probably take it for military advantages over other countries, I remember hearing the a better battery with small size was made but after 2-4 day it's all gone, you don't hear anything about it and I heard this about 3 ago,
Oh, 110%, at least.
Didn’t the original Batman & Robin have these breathing devices back in the 70’s? 🤣
do the public understand saturation diving useing helium to negate the toxic effect of nitrogen ala the bends?
"Lets the oxygen through but not the water"
*That isnt how this works*

Because it wooden work.

Lol clever pun. Well done.
When I heard that “the battery is 30 times smaller than its contemporaries”, I immediately knew this is utter BS.
Yes it has to be at the size of a CR2032 or smaller! :-)
No, it just harnesses the power of SOLAR FREAKING ROADWAYS
*AND* it charges 100x faster!
And you would be hoarding the supposed ground-breaking super-charging nano-battery because..?
@@NWolfsson such a dense high energy stored battery is a moving bomb. Even this shit is real the government wouldn't allow this to be on the road.
In cringe voice: it’s so cool it’s just like that James Bond thingy
I love that they say yes it’s smaller but it also charges 1000% faster
You know its fake when the guy designs a goodlooking thingy before making it work
Anomalous you also know its fake when the only footage they have of him designing it is him just spinning around a CAD model... that’s as typical as it gets.
I think he saw the part wen qui gone and obi go underwater and wanted to make the thingy they used.

@@Tryst46 why did you ask about that?
Why does everything seem to claim that they invented a new superbattery for their bogus tech? Like, if you truly had made something THAT good, you would become super rich with how profitable it would be, and maybe could be looking at a Nobel Prize. So are these people saying that they would rather crowdfund a niche product than become the next Elon Musk?
Well, cause they'd need a new super battery (and many other things) to make a small, sleek device work as good as a complicated, giant and expensive system.
Simple
Because they're con artists. They wanna scam as many people as possible.
No one can compete with John B Goodenough making batteries he is legend 🙌
Because 'we made a better battery' is a lot less exciting to the average consumer than 'we made a thing that lets you breathe underwater'. And the average consumer is who they're trying to trick to get as much money as they can as quick as they can, as well as the fact the average consumer would take longer to catch on to the crap than the kind of people who would be focused on less outwardly exciting things like batteries.
Right, in fact it is one of the principal goals in development of batteries, if we could storage so much energy in a small battery we wouldn´t need gas or liquid fuels
I remember seeing these on Pokemon back in the day. Probably where he got the design from too
It’s practically just a blue version. All the ones in pokemon were orange I think.

I started breathing weird when I read this comment
Like the James Bond version when someone asked how long you could stay underwater with it they said as long as you can hold your breath for
Even if they were full of compressed air and you breathed really shallow, (which would be almost impossible given the exertion of swimming underwater), you would probably only have enough air in there for half a breath.

Yeh but it doesn't work unfortanetelly
As a scuba diver, you should know how dangerous it is to dive over 10meters without sufficient oxygen
@luigi mariohey man I can dream can't I?
@@Spelter well really an dive of decent length is dangerous without a full cylinder or if it isn't a full cylinder than you divide the air you have left for each part of the dive. Depth comes in as a factor when you are planning the dive with an RDP table or dive computer.

Thank you for putting the "science" back in science. The only problem with the information age is you get more lies then truth.
Than*
It's not the information age that's the problem, it's the age of the ones providing the information.
It really sucks that legit studies and researches are usually stored behind a paywall, while lies like these freely roams across the internet for anyone to access.
You get more opinionated theories rather than truth without bias. The hard truth, is these days like a knife through the tip of the finger to some people and they just don't like it cause they're not willing to learn things further their own. And to do alot of this I'll admit, takes alot of mathematical understanding and alot of different science understanding to attempt making underwater rebreathers.
(Hes done some research, but I don't think he should talk so much shade unless he could try to come up with a better idea himself. Imo)
Imagine how far a person can actually go as long as they have the tanks of air to do so. That'd be epic lol
@@Tryst46 lol, that's basically what op already said. The only issue is the people spreading misinformation. There was no real no need to clarify, I think it's safe to assume that the misinformation comes from people and not the concept of the information age itself.

The fact that dolphins, whales, penguins, and other air breathing marine mammals have been so successful in spite of not having gills is the fact that there is so much more oxygen in the air instead of the water that they're actually able to be more energetic than the fish they compete with. Breathing air is actually an advantage instead of a disadvantage.
When I was a kid, we used to do that hyperventilation thing to stay underwater at the pool much longer. A little freaky to know it's actually dangerous.
Funny how they didn't even know oxygen bonds to itself.

+MattMexor Except lying about your product isn't exactly the best sales pitch. Why not explain the actual mechanism if it actually works, they literally have nothing to lose doing that.

Breathing pure Oxygen below 10m underwater can be lethal
That's another good one, yes. You can't breathe pure oxygen under high pressure; that's why real-life diving systems use oxygen and a dilutant.
breathing pure oxigen at any pressure can be lethal
Astronauts breathed pure oxygen at about 1/4 atmosphere during Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo, and continue to do so in modern spacesuits.
While Astronauts did breathe pure Oxygen at some time, they also had an Oxygen Fire, which I think killed them.
They were not breathing it in an under water Pressure though.
Samuel Bailey Right, Apollo I. The fire killed them, but they had no trouble breathing pure oxygen at about 1 1/4 atmospheres. The Soviets lost a cosmonaut during a similar test.
This picture is in my science textbook so now I've lost trust in that section of the textbook
what in the holy education?
Why would you trust anything in a public education book?
After this I wanted a video on the biology of gills for large fish, like a shark. Seems they must be quite efficient.
I don't have a video but there are a couple bits I can tell you. 1) Firstly gills are large, and sharks have 4 or five on each side of their heads, Each of these contains a large number of 'gill rays' that give an incredible surface area. 2)Most aquatic creates also absorb oxygen and release CO2 through their skin. 3)The biggest factor would be that they are cold blooded. Roughly 75-80% of the energy, and therefore oxygen, a human body uses is turned into heat to keep us warm, our large brains also use a huge amount. Very roughly, scaled for weight, a shark would require just 15% of the oxygen a human does.
This is nothing compared to that solar-powered thorium engine co-invented by Ken Ham and Anita Sarkeesian to prove that evolution is a social construct created by the patriarchy.

fun fact, in highschool while on the swim team, we were seeing who could swim that farthest underwater. naturally i wanted to boost the oxygen in my blood so i took a lot of deep breaths in rapid succession and then went for it. i made it 75 yards but i only remember the first 30-40. id become hypoxic. but all is good, they pulled me out, gave me some rescue breaths and i came to...........if only i had this awesome gill!!
side note - Thunderf00t, i just found your channel and i love it. keep up the good work!
I always read the title as "Artificial Grill" and see this as a heated roller for applying grill marks to food
Well, maybe it doesn't separate oxygen from water but it does separate idiots from their money.
pretty sure thats the idea.
Thats well put!
If they had really invented batteries like that they wouldn't be trying to sell gills.
Rangooo yeah right a battery like that would make billions

Fish are made to not consume so much oxygen and the cost is more simple body's and smaller brains while most of out chest is just the lungs
Your brain uses 70% of your body's energy supply which roughly translates to oxygen consumption too. To add to this, there is a reason why a lot of fish have next to no short term memory and barely any intelligence to speak of.
Octopuses are freaking brilliant, water animals aren't just "dumb" due to "lack of oxygen" - The majority of life on Earth seems to be doing just fine sharing the same ocean oxygen.
Octopi make do by having really small brains and allocating their motor control to areas in each tentacle.
Yes, they have a smaller brain in each tentacle. I fail to see how having 9 brains is an optimization for lack of oxygen.
they aren't brains, they are small neural networks and being situated closer to the muscles means they use less energy in motor transmissions.
This made me subconsciously start breathing manually.
same
Was subconsciously manually supposed to be a troll?
Battam Typically, breathing is involuntary, controlled by the brain stem, until you voluntarily think about breathing.
Thanks for making me have to breathe
+INTernal Jordan I think what Battam meant to say is that 'subconsciously manually' is an oxymoron. It would have been more accurate to say it stopped your subconscious breathing, or that it caused you to breath manually. But yeah, it did that to me too, and I hate it.

After reading through the comment. People are confused about the amount of oxygen in the water. Thinking it refers to the "O" part of H2O. It does not. Fish do not breathe in water and exhale hydrogen. They are not separating the molecule. Water absorbs some oxygen from the air in the form of O2. That is what fish breathe, and is why a fish tank at home needs an aerator (with bigger fish), otherwise your fish can actually drown, due to lack of oxygen. This rebreather/gills device claims to remove the O2 from the water as a fish would. Since the amount of oxygen absorbed in water is low, this is beyond impossible for something that small running on small batteries.
Ah, thanks. I thought it'd electrolyze the H₂O
P Mason. no, fish would be the dominant life on earth!
DrewLSsix Technically, we are part of the fish clade because we descended from them, so fish are the dominant life on Earth.
Bullshit, we didnt descend from fish. Everything else that was said was true, buts thats not.
+Bill Bob: Is that a counter-evolution thing, or some specific evolutionary path (starting from sea creatures, as all life started in the sea as far as we know) that you think we evolved from that doesn't involve fish?
I literally saw this gadget back in '98 on an episode of pokemon
Thunderf00t I have just realized how frustrating it have to be!! You have spend all your life, learning and now investigating what do really work. And then comes some "knowing everything" that totally undermine everything and obfuscate what you have dedicated your life to!!
This extracts air from water while WaterSeer extracts water from air... amazing :)
Jeeee koho to tu vidím 😀
so this is like the exact opposite of the self filling bottle...
+Soda Sama It's the self-emptying gill? lol
Zadamanim Lol no i mean the self filling bottle collected water from air while this one collects oxygen from water.
yeah lol
Lol yeah they're going to put the two together and when nothing happens they'll say it's proof that both work perfectly!
+Dan Knight haahhhaa good point!
I know nothing about scuba diving so can someone explain to me why everyone is saying impossible but the guy is in the water breathing with it showing it works. What am I missing?
I still come by to watch this video from time to time. This is a masterclass in taking down a tech scam.
The guy dived for 31 seconds which is zero difference from that if someone held their breath to do it
when I was his age I could go about 2:00-3:00 minutes without breathing.
Js Yall I can go 2 min easy without breath, but nothing to my brother he can go 6 minutes straight
Drake Depew boi ya mean drowning?
When I was in high school, and a smoker, I swam the length of 30 ft pool 4 times without coming up for breath. That was on a random trip and not because of practice. it was like 3:05 or something. I admit I have an easier time than most because I sink in water.
Js Yall
The world record for it was like what? 20-25ish minutes?
There should be laws against such frauds.
+SkepTorr the only victims are dumb people. If you take money from normal people to pay police to enforce a law which protects dumb people from losing money, you make us all worse off.
+SkepTorr It's the idiot tax.
+SkepTorr In the UK there it is a crime to "Obtain money under false pretenses" . I'm sure that touting a product that breeches the laws of our known physics, would meet that criteria!
"There's not that much oxygen in water"
Fish: Hold my beer
Finally I found a video about this!!! I assumed it didnt work but it's still soooo interesting!
It would be cool however to actually build artificial gills
Indeed mate. Imagine the possibilities. θα ειταν γαματο
Φίλιππος Κωστόπουλος yes
Φίλιππος Κωστόπουλος cool name dude
Φίλιππος Κωστόπουλος
A lot of people would die.
I hope they make it. I really do.
Kamau Kirikou Re'Xi Not really since he was making fun of the dude.
All of these scams gain so much traction because people forget a very simple rule: if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
+MrClickity The problem is that most people don't know anywhere near enough about the science and technology involved in this (breathing, gases dissolved in water, the filters, batteries, etc) to even realize that it sounds too good to be true!
but then again , when is it time for us too make invent some stuff that can benefit us.. instead of taking money :S?
The idea of breathing underwater is a children's cartoon idea of the 60's . At present it's still just that, a children's cartoon idea . You're right MrClickity , a "SCAM" ; And a dangerous one at that , this could cost someone their life .
+John H People can breathe underwater....with proper scuba gear.
Hololens sounded too good, but we know it's real.
Really struggling to comprehend that Thunderf00t uses Norton AntiVirus
“Mammals, unlike fish, can actually DROWN” The more you know...
Well, there went a bit of my respect for vsauce... thats where i first heard of Triton.
I hate to break it to you, but vsauce has always been about style over substance, its beat poetry and vagueness all the way - which is fine if you recognise and appreciate it for what it is.
True
+builder396 Vsauce has never been about science. It's more a philosophical channel (although probably is an insult to philosophy). As a result, you shouldn't trust what they have to say on science.
+builder396 Michael usually researches stuff pretty well. The other 2, especially the hipster, just reports on sensationalist bullshit.
+builder396 Vsauce is a bad place to learn about scientific innovations or news. Even the major science popularization magazines are more accurate. If you really want to learn about research though, you should look at hosts for research papers like ArXiv, NLH, PubMed and the like.
I just enjoy the way he says "Water" x3
Wootah
+Ruttie2 waugh-tuh
+Tyandaga Australian.
+Tyandaga Woota.
+BSutherland Seriously? It's an English accent. I realise I'm probably being baited, but why not correct it for the morons who may believe it? And yeah it's the non-rhotic accent (I think), we don't pronounce 'a's the same as Americans. EDIT: (I re-listened and I kind of understand why you might have said Australian but still disagree, I say it the same way and I've got an English accent similar to his - only more 'urban')
I love that "UNLIMITED POWER!!!" line from Palapatine as he becomes "galactic emperor".
LMAO!
The way you pronounce "wahtah" makes me think of that commercial with the talking volcano and dinosaur.
So for anyone who missed it, the person who made this campaign tried to put it back up and decided to talk about their "proprietary technology" and finally told everyone that the mask is made to hold canisters of liquid oxygen. They were planning on making a website where people could buy or exchange these canisters. It was just a small, inefficient and unsafe SCUBA mask. So he pretty much came out and admitted that the entire video was a lie since it clearly says several times in the video that the mask is artificial gills that are extracting the oxygen out of the water.
dacypher22 thy still wouldn’t work. Liquid oxygen is extremely cold and at that point you’d have to add a device that could safely heat the liquid as it was needed. XD even when they change the story it’s still not possible
Another problem with the mask using liquid oxygen is when oxygen goes from liquid to gas it expands by ~800 times. There isn't enough room in the mask to safely transform the liquid to breathable gas. Either you would have a problem with the pressure as tiny tiny drops that corresponds to one breath enter the small compartment (and any malfunction would risk or damaging your lungs) or you would need to hyper ventilate as the corresponding air is just the size of the mask but at normal pressure.
RoosInBlood even worse, pure oxygen is toxic when you’re 6 metres under water... so you’d probably get convulsions and blackout pretty quickly
hitch How did that happen?

We live in an age where interest in science has become mainstream.
However, understanding of science is not yet mainstream by any means.
Because of this, there is a large market of people who will give money to any idea that sounds "innovative" or "scientific," without bothering to do the research or learn anything for themselves. After all, if a person claims something is scientifically plausible, why not just blindly believe them?
Skepticism is important in science and engineering, not just in other fields. Especially when regarding projects that are asking for your money. Crowd funding makes it possible for the public to be easily duped by this kind of project, where if any of these ideas were feasible (solar roadways, hover boards, triton artificial gill, thorium cars, ETC), any inventor could have easily made countless millions by making and selling the patents to companies that would simply love to have such pipe dreams become a reality.
But no. Instead, they resort to crowd funding - something they would never need to do if their ideas were so obviously capable of turning a profit. Crowd funding should be for things that may or may not be profitable, but that might be fun or interesting. For engineering and science applications however, it is cancerous.
This guy made the scuba gear in pokemon a real thing
Wow here I am watching a video 4 years ago that popped up on my recommendation, and it’s talking about some bullshit 8years ago, and I’m hell entertained by this.
