Sense Under Water
Immersed Senses is the ultimate gadget must have for any underwater explorer. The helmet changes the way a diver sees, hears, and breathes in what normally is a not-so-friendly environment. Nearly made up of entirely glass and LED lights, the most interesting tidbits are the heads up displays giving you up-to-the-second GPS enabled maps, and the unique electrolysis reactor that extracts oxygen right from sea water. Water leaks are prevented by silicone that bonds the helmet to the skin. I want one!
Designer: Adam Wendel

Huh? Sicicone lining that bonds the helmet to the skin? I am not an engineer or physics master but every feature described here works more for a fantasy movie than reality….
max says
Yeah, I look forward to you inventing underwater GPS while you are at it
… Pretty though.

Dreamy, but not doable first off the battey life we got now is crappy and can never run that amount of systems well enough, the oxygen rebreathers are NOT that small…even in the most hopefully editions. The mosture will fog like hell, and there is no way the silicon will make a seal that good, without constant purging of water coming in the first time you turn sideways. Micro pours means it will clog, without some sorta coating to prevent that..but its wishfully thinking…I’d say another 10 to 20 years in the wishfull thinking area..before we see something close to that..also even with solid state drives as used, you will not be able to have software that can catalog ALL the fish you encounter without having a moderate size drive…a little ahead of its time..IMHO..

How do you equalize the pressure? The designer has obviously never dived before.
Billy says
What pressure?? It's a helmet, not a baseball cap -.-
Skribaki says
I’m with Val. If you use that thing underwater you can say goodbye to your eardrums.
Billy says
Dunno what your thinking…but I am a commercial diver and this concept IS a helmet. Meaning eyes, ears, mouth and nose are encased…MEANING no pressure will come into contact with ears. There is no need to equalize pressure when there is none…

purely conceptual – i doubt the designers intentions were to make this a reality today. wishful designing. pretty cool design.
marscha says
clear that it wouldnt work today. looks awesome! i want one!!!

you need tons of weights to get all that air down,

The designer is retarded, they have absolutely no clue what electrolysis involves. Electrolysis is the application of electricity to water to cause the H2O molecules to break apart into their components: hydrogen and oxygen (two H2 molecules and 1 O2 molecule for every two water molecules that are broken apart).
The designer has this backwards, they seem to think that somehow by mixing hydrogen with water and adding electricity in somewhere, (and heck, throw in a centrifuge in there while you’re at it) you get oxygen out. You don’t store hydrogen, it’s a waste product from breaking apart the water molecules.
Revolver66 says
I wouldn’t say that the designer is retarded. Just not a physicist or chemist. On his core77 portfolio it is displayed as a conceptual “blue sky” project. Looking at the concept as is – it is pretty far off but conceptually very strong. No harm in dreaming and thinking of the future.
Nice work.
Lamah says
Any idiot can design something that couldn’t possibly work. This design has no value to society.
Flo says
looks like one of the daft helmets.
Jonathan E Hdz says
=O Cool
Zenith says
Don’t think it’s a horrible idea in concept, although horribly flawed, it’s designs like this that use imagination that promote and encourage engineers to create and think of new ideas. Science fiction becomes our reality as we push for it. Only thing I’D freak out about?? Ok it broke… get me my pony bottle… ack!! must get… mask.. off firs….t….. glub…
MIMZY MILLZ says
will it be ready and up for sale b4 2012 cuz it wud b cool to have that
MIMZY MILLZ says
ok u the designer are going to have to work with other scientist on this , scientist that u never thought u wud b workn with – ya,ll r gonna have to cum up with sum tpye of minicher artifitional gills. and u did come up with the idea of thir being gills – seemzs like whr gonna have to study our fish more huh! also the oled interface interacting gps positioning led mini screen should have sum sort of satillight uplink – thin on top of that is this uplink gonna b free and whos providing it and can we trust them – altho this concept sounds pricey and im lookn forward to it

Beautiful design for shallow dives or snorkeling. If you go deep you have to have a helium-oxygen mix and hydrogen does not equal helium. So you cannot really use it to go deep like the designer wishes. By all means he really should keep dreaming, I would love to use something like this, but it is still a long ways out.

Pure oxygen is toxic to humans at depth. Breathing pure oxygen 30 ft deep for any significant amount of time would kill the diver.

Bill, if you are a commercial diver then you are probably the dumbest one around.
