Toward the Development of Artificial Gills: A Study Inquiry into Aqua Lung Technologies and the Prospects of Human Underwater Exploration
Toward the Development of Artificial Gills: A Study Inquiry into Aqua Lung Technologies and the Prospects of Human Underwater Exploration Abstract This inquiry examines the conceptual and technological trajectory of artificial gill development, situating the discourse within the historical lineage of Aqua Lung products and the broader epistemic frameworks of underwater exploration. By weaving together material science, bio-mimetic engineering, cultural imaginaries, and policy implications, the study proposes a speculative yet rigorous pathway toward breakthroughs in human aquatic respiration. The text interrogates the philosophical and ethical dimensions of extending human agency beneath the ocean surface, while foregrounding the technical challenges of oxygen extraction, metabolic compatibility, and ecological sustainability. --- Introduction The ocean has long been a site of both mystery and mastery. From the mythic descent of divers into abyssal realms to the modern proliferati...
