• How close are we to being able to breathe underwater with the help of technology?
• What technology will help me breathe better in an unhealthy environment?

Is that even possible?

FUCK YOU

the closer your nose is to pussy, the purer you breathe

we already do it with scuba

I didn't know the inside of the nose was that big. I thought they were just two little tubes that led down into the throat.

Best place to smuggle drugs. Nobody ever checks your nasal cavity. You just pretend to have a cold and fish the bag out with a hook later.

short answer: yes it is.
long answer: no, and here's why:
water is 2 parts hydrogen, 1 part oxygen
if you split the molecules, you have 33% breathable content, and the remaining 66% can be ejected into the ocean
however, pure oxygen is lethal to inhale.
if we're able to split the molecule, and collect the hydrogen, we'd still need to dilute it with something else before we can breath it safely.
which means that you will always need to keep a supply of some content; be it some other gas, particulate, etc.
which also means that no "suit" will ever be fully efficient. you'll always be weighed down, and range limited, by the amount of the diluting material you need.

Thanks for reminding me to breathe asshole, now I need to manually breathe in order not to forget to breathe.

Here's a good debunk of that Triton artificial gill which goes into some detail why breathing underwater without a supply of air is basically not going to happen anytime soon. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5ep2vUMJt0

>> breathe underwater with the help of technology
Already exists, see submarines and scuba.
If you mean artificial gills, that is rather impractical, they need to be rather large and have to move a lot of water.
However, if we develop sufficiently advanced molecular nanotechnology we could make artificial red blood cells capable of storing more oxygen than normal red blood cells while simultaneously removing CO2. This might permit one to hold ones breath for hours
The proposed design in pic related is a bit far off. Whole thing is made from diamond. However, using chemisorption and more traditional nantech we might be able to make them sooner. Like next 20 years.
