“Scientifically Impossible” Underwater Breathing Device Raises £580,000 Online

An Indiegogo campaign has managed to raise almost half a million pounds for a device that claims to let you breathe underwater for 45 minutes, despite experts claiming it is scientifically impossible.

People have donated nearly $850,000 (£595,000) to the device known as Triton in their excitement - despite scientists’ belief the invention cannot work in its current form.

Described as the “future of underwater breathing” the artificial gills supposedly help you breathe at a maximum depth of 15ft underwater, for a full 45 minutes.
