What's the point?
The human body can take vacuum fine if supported. The lung pressure lower limit is the required oxygen pressure plus the vapor pressure of water at body temperature plus the pressure of the carbon dioxide being expelled. Putting your oxygen in a liquid isn't going to change this minimum.
Liquid breathing is being looked into for high pressure environments, not low pressure environments. The human body has no problem with any high pressure it's ever been exposed to, the depth limit for diving is because the dose makes the poison--you eventually hit the point where anything you could put in your tanks is dangerous.
- david38 5y agoWhat are you talking about? The human body has enormous problems with high pressure. You are referring to oxygen toxicity. There is far more to it than that. At great enough pressure, your body cannot expel CO2.
