    hey, my grandpa frank was the first human subject for these experiments (and got pneumonia, as you mentioned). i can ask my dad if anyone has questions, but sadly it’ll all be second hand as grandpa frank passed on years ago. i believe it was actually a talk he gave that inspired cameron to include the fluid breathing scenes in his stories.

      Edit: duh. Now I read your name. Lol. Yep your grandpa was the man.
      He did indeed inspire Cameron. I remember an article talking about Cameron having sat in during one of your grandfathers talks on the subject. I will see if I can find it.

Cave diving feels like a bit too much for me, you've successfully conveyed the amount of planning and prep that goes into it and also I'm pretty claustrophobic so I think I'll pass, but you've also successfully conveyed the joy and the wonder and the fun of diving, so I'll be booking some courses and learning how to scuba once I'm up for it thanks to you guys.

    The pneumonia thing with liquid breathing would be a VERY hard thing to solve, because of the complex chemistry of the surfactants etc.at the cell membrane (the alveoli) gets the pH and ion concentrations all screwed up which causes an inflammation reaction, cells get leaky and fluid ends up on the wrong side of the cell membrane, hence the "drowning" in your own bodily fluids...ew...

  • @DolbecAqua
    @DolbecAqua 2 ปีที่แล้ว +156

    As someone who does research in microbiology/immunology I am very worried about this technique. Altough many points I initially thought of at the beginning of the video (the difficulty/weight related to breathing the liquid, adding a scrubber for co2) were added later I still have lots of concerns pneumonia being the main concern. Our lungs are covered with a thin layer of protective mucus that helps trap and expel pathogens. Having a liquid in the lungs disolve and remove this barrier brings lots of concern. What happens to the epithelial cells long-term? I would believe irritation and inflammation would come in fast. Normal bacteria that are usually harmless would have the opportunity to have an easy point of entry during the long time of the dive and then cause infection. Another point to think of, breathing and swallowing are done via the same tube. Who's to say you won't swallow that liquid? Obviously it was thought of and it should be safe to swallow. However, what happens if you have gastric fluids that leak up? This is not something that happens when you are filled with air and standing upright but in a neutral buoyancy situation and filled with water? I cant imagine the problems of having gastric acids mix in everything. Also, as gus pointed out, other air cavities add more complexity to the development of this technology. How will you even see? All in all, there is a lot to think about and tesf before this ever becomes a thing.

      @@vallsz To your credit, there IS a deer(?) in China that has GILLS... Should someone study them before the little thing is sent into extinction, there's at least some chance that via crspr or some similar gene-splicing and artificial bio-tech, we could "tailor make" tissues for gills and have a plastic surgeon alongside a cardio-pulmonary specialist work out how (exactly) to "install" them...
      Obviously, still in the "pipe dream" stage, but there is a known and documented mammal with gills, which is an important point. A lot of people like to cite that humans are mammals and only fish and certain amphibians actually have gills... BUT that's not all together true. ;o)

      @JustSomeDinosaurPerson 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      To be fair, it is possible to develop a liquid that doesn't dissolve the mucus layer. Mucus in of itself is a very good substance when it comes to resisting reactions.
      But yeah, we would be better off trying to create unlimited rebreathers that separate oxygen from hydrogen in the surrounding water or trying to create temporary gills for divers.
      But everything essentially has their golden hurdles to overcome.

      @@JustSomeDinosaurPerson "Unlimited Rebreather" : You don't get around the fact that the more you compress a gas, the more issues it will cause. Non-reactive parts of the mix will dissolve into your tissues (and thus require lengthy decompression stops) and the reactive parts (O2 primarily for breathing gases) have to be very carefully adjusted so they don't become toxic.
      Also as the breathing gas compresses a lot of the same issues as breathing liquids start happening, such as reduced CO2 expulsion and increased breathing effort. Our lungs simply didn't evolve to move and process dense substances..

    Gus, you have to remember that there were probably were a bunch of people rolling their eyes when they started talking about diving underwater, or breathing helium, or going to the moon, or landing on Mars. It is only impossible until it's done! It's a good idea to entertain these abstract ideas because that is how significant advancements in science happen, from the fringe. A candle maker did not invent the light bulb, someone from outside the realm of "possibility" did.

    Personally I think we will get very advanced drones and pressurized suits far before this happens. So demand for this will probably just diminish more and more. Overall, liquid breathing is riddled with problems, that even if you actually somehow solve them, it's going to be *very* uncomfortable.

    I've watched tons of your videos and this is now my favourite. A couple of reasons - Firstly I watched that very video a day or two ago (thought it was a great video btw). So I knew what was coming and I was anticipating your reactions to each bit of new information that you saw. Gus's reaction to how much pressure the mice were subjected to and still lived, and Woody's reaction to the mice dying due to not being able to expel enough CO2 was so cool to see (like Woody had a light bulb moment, 'oh yeah, of course'). And secondly, I have never seen you two so quiet in a video. You were genuinely so engrossed and fascinated by the video that, even though you obviously had lots of comments in your heads, you just had to keep watching. Loved it.

  • @piprod01
    @piprod01 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I imagine coming out of the liquid would be the hardest part. Lungs have a huge surface area that they get that by basically being huge cave systems for air to travel down. Now imagine you flood them and then allow them to drain. You are gonna have a ton of areas that are basically blocked like a P-Trap preventing air flow. Which is good in your sink to stop sewer gasses coming out, but not so good when you need oxygen to live.

    • @DontScareTheFish
      @DontScareTheFish 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't think that's going to be such a problem, as you're going down the pressure is going to increase which would decrease the physical size of bubble. As well as the bubble shrinking the body will slowly absorb the gas.
      My $0.02 for the problem that you've stated is that it will need to be factored into any decompression that needs to happen as the diver returns to the surface

    As someone who has had 3 angiograms and has 5 stents in coronary arteries, you don't want to have a catheter up your femoral artery. During an angiogram, you have to lay flat and still. Afterwards, they put this strap device around your pelvis and butt that applies precise pressure to the incision site and you have to lay flat for 6 freaking hours. No sitting up as they don't want you to activate your abs.

    Realistically, even if this was possible, would it actually become a widespread thing or would it be some very niche form of diving? I’d suspect that standard compressed air/rebreather diving would probably still remain the normal option, especially as many divers don’t want to and likely don’t actually need to go down past recreational or today’s technical dive depth limits.

    Just thinking about it, like Woody said, there'd be a better method of transitioning from the air to liquid breathing, simple drowning just isn't on the menu, but, the physiological reactions and triggers for the drowning response CAN be modified. The coughing reflex is triggered by receptors in the trachea so they could be anesthetized pretty much like they do when intubating a patient and whole mental aversion to the idea can be dulled with some nice minor tranquilizers, some Xanax with your lidocaine sir ? oh yes please !

      Well, with drone technology such as it is already, this is hardly surprising... I'd suspect it's the best way to employ anything resembling an ROV into a cave unless we also send in a diver with a spool of cable to let the two work in as close a proximity as possible... which of course kind of defeats the whole point of even having the ROV...
      They've also had a few "self navigating" submersible drones in the ocean for a few studies, mostly side-scanning radar routines over designated sections of ocean... open water... SO it's only a step.
      Yours is clearly the next logical and legitimate step in the line to progress. ;o)

I am not trying to flex (I was not part of the team at the time), I just want to emphasize the different nature of water vs air, as we discuss them with these colleagues. Drones advancements the last years have been just ...WOW! Underwater autonomy, due to logistics and other many challenges (computers don't like water for some reason) hasn't seen a similar boom yet.
      Initial experiements would involve multiple cave divers and a tethered ROV, but after testing soon, the cable would be dropped.
      Most autonomous AUVs are mostly for long range operations and struggle to navigatge safely through unstructured and cluttered environments. Best case they assume operations in obstacle free environments, or only with 2D horizontal motions, with long decision time (>15s to 45s for 3D). To our knowledge we seem to be the first ones that introduced autonomous navigation systems for such environments with real-time decision making to adapt to the changes of the terrain (

      @@mariosx12 Yeah, pressure, unstable currents and eddies, and silt can make any forms of navigation difficult... AND it always sounds simple to work with "neutral buoyancy" until one stops to reckon with a diver using fins, and we still have a tendency (though it's a terrible habit) to use the BCD like an elevator control, nudge a little air to go up and a little vent off to re-neutralize, vent a little to go down and re-inflate to neutralize... It's a waste of precious air/gas supply just to start the problems...
      Though, depending on how premium space and weight could be in a submersible, compressing and releasing air internally with a "ballast" chamber might help with the vertical motions in avoiding silt-out... BUT surely someone's already thought of (and poo-poo'ed) that...
      I'd hazard that silt is why dolphins and modern submarines negotiate obstacles with sonar (echo-location) rather than radar... BUT it's an interfering mess none the less, and if we're looking to get anything "visual" from the drone in question, silt presents a problem no matter...

    There are certain pressures where cellular biochemistry changes, so even with liquid breathing, there will still be depths beyond normal human reach, but... They're pretty damn deep.
    Now.... There is. A potential alternative to oxygenating people without the lungs. It can be done to a degree through gut tissue (I'm talking up the rear, it was explored because it's actually how some turtles suppliment their oxygen levels during underwater brumation), but that doesn't really fix the gas pocket issue. I just wanted to let yall know that there may be even less glamorous tech in the future lol

    First of all, I want you guys to know I am a non-diver who has been watching your videos for awhile; and even though I have always had a fear of scuba diving (my dad was a former scuba diver who described an accident he witnessed to me when I was about 5) your videos have literally led me to sign up for an open water scuba class!
    Second, I just wanted to say that liquid breathing comes in two forms... partial liquid breathing and total liquid ventilation. For the purposes of diving you would require full liquid ventilation, which is absolutely possible (and already done in the case of some premature babies). The problem for full liquid ventilation for adults is that, in the context of diving, the CO2 exchange between the lungs and the liquid just is not good enough.
    In other words, divers would end up dying from C02 build up. One solution, which has been patented, but not actually built or tested, is a manual CO2 scrubber that would scrub the C02 from your blood. As you can guess this would require a diver to have a C02 scrubber attached directly to one of the major veins in your body...
    And yes, overcoming the the mammalian instinct to not inhale liquid is a big deal as is removing the liquid after the 'dive.'
    It seems to me that taken together these things would seriously limit who would be willing and capable of using a liquid breathing dive system. It would probably limit liquid diving to the purview of the military or serious professional divers...
    But yeah, you guys know all of this because its in this video! :D

    This has probably been said by someone already, but I’m on Woody’s side with this. I can definitely see this happening, plus I know that I’d be willing to take the risk to try this out eventually once science and technology advances enough to either manually drain your lungs of liquid or to beat pneumonia with a very high chance of survival and full recovery.
    Also, as a side note, your channel is truly amazing. I found it just a few weeks ago and have been watching it all the time and it’s been a blessing for me. Your channel has helped to renew my love of diving and of the water in general, as well as helped me to get myself out of a rough patch of my life where I wasn’t in the best place mentally, so I thank you both, Woody and Gus. You two are truly amazing and are extremely educational.
    One more side note, don’t ever worry about scaring people away from diving, for some that get scared away, maybe it’s better they don’t try diving because I could see them being more prone to panicking since they are already at least somewhat nervous about diving, if not just the water in general.
    Thank you both again for being such amazing and knowledgeable divers, as well as great entertainers at the same time.

Many ideas were being tossed around but nothing concrete enough to take it to the next phase of slaughtering mice, dogs and monkeys yet.
    I would think maybe the same or similar fluid could be used for diving if they were ever successful. Although, I claim no expertise in either space travel nor diving, so I could be way off with my assumptions
