In Jun Kamei’s latest project, materials science and and cutting edge design combine in a fully 3D printed mask that could help humans breathe underwater.
标题为两栖动物，，，，创建了3D打印的ills，以作为全球变暖和地球的影响的令人毛骨悚然的预言rising sea levels。In an exclusive interview for 3D Printing Industry, I speak to Kamei to learn more about his latest concept and how design can have a positive impact on the environment.
适应并生存
Kamei是研究人员，设计师和材料科学家MicroLabteam, a joint intiative between theTokyo University Institute of Industrial Science和伦敦Royal College of Art(RCA). Inspired by nature, Kamei’s work frequently veers into the realm of仿生。
创造两栖动物卡米（Kamei）解释说：“我对潜水昆虫特别感兴趣，这些昆虫可以通过ill g而在水下生存。”
此外，估计Kamei被激发了Earth’s temperature would rise by up to 3.2℃by the the year 2100. If so, the两栖动物生物断言，温度升高将导致海平面上升“影响全球30％的人口，并淹没沿海地区的大城市。”
Considering these predictions, Kamei sought a way for how humans could adapt to survive.
3D printed gills
两栖动物gills are made from three, multimaterial 3D printed rings worn like a bib around a person’s neck. Kamei says “the material is a combination of hydrophobic material, elastomeric material” and “a few other things” that cannot be disclosed due a patent pending for the formulation.
柔性和防水环是3D打印的，上面有多个隔间，这些隔间显示为脊。在概念实验的证明中，卡梅（Kamei）证明了如何使用g可以用二氧化碳排出二氧化碳并从周围水中吸收氧气。
How do they work?
卡梅（Kamei）的3D印刷ill被两个装满水的水箱中央的连接管悬挂。通过左管，Kamei用70％的二氧化碳气体填充g，当一个人呼气时模仿二氧化碳浓度水平。连接到第二管上，有一个传感器可以始终监视g内部的氧气水平。
卡梅（Kamei）从这里解释说：“该系统被空气紧密的单向阀封闭，因此，可以在ill中补充氧气的唯一方法是通过周围水从膜中补充氧气，”
“The surrounding water has oxygen dissolved into it, and because the percentage of oxygen is low inside of the gill, these oxygen molecules in the water travel through the membrane inside of the gill to compensate the concentration difference,” like the process of osmosis.
“多余的二氧化碳分子也发生了类似的事情，相反，从ill缝到周围的水。”
在下面的视频中，您可以观察到从附着的氧气传感器读取的屏幕上的氧气水平如何上升。
“This is the mechanism of how the gill can replenish oxygen and get rid of the CO2,” Kamei adds.
返回亚特兰蒂斯
At present, the两栖动物Gills不适合更换典型的水肺齿轮，但是Kamei确实为设备如何阅读下一阶段提供了一些有用的指针。
Firstly, “enough surface area [of the gills] needs to be secured around the body.”
“Secondly, a safety measure needs to be in place which monitors the oxygen level and could switch to a smaller emergency gas tank in case the gill does not provide enough oxygen.”
And finally, it would need to be tested in “a controlled aquarium with human oxygen consumption simulation.”
