Then you hear the physics...\nThen you realize the implications stretch far past diving\nWater is hydrogen and oxygen. Apply a DC current, swing away the electrons binding them, and you get the purest form of breathable gas.\nThe idea started with a simple frustration\nLeo is an electrical engineer and a diver. Every dive exposed the same limits: Bulky tanks, Logistics, Safety risks, Cost, and Operational complexity.\nInstead of accepting those constraints, he asked a question: Is there any way we could breathe like a fish?\nThat sent him down a rabbit hole into electrolysis\nIf water already contains oxygen, why haul tanks at all? \nWhy not generate breathable oxygen exactly where and when it's needed?\nEnter DAIVIN! (YC W26) - Tankless dive gear that generates oxygen directly from the water around you. No tanks to haul, fill, or run out of.\nBut diving is just the wedge\nAnywhere breathing depends on a tank, the tank sets the limit. \nCrisis zones. High altitude rescue. Anywhere time is human lives. \nGenerate the oxygen on site, and there's no supply chain to depend on.\n🎙️ Leo Kankkunen, CEO & Founder, Daivin on Fondo START pod\n00:18 What Daivin is building and why oxygen tanks are the real problem\n00:43 One glass of water holds roughly 20 hours of breathing\n01:05 The science of splitting water into oxygen and hydrogen with a DC current\n01:38 The wearable system that draws in surrounding water and produces oxygen\n02:10 Leo's path from electrical engineer and diver to founder\n02:48 Where the tech stands today: commercial close, consumer further out\n03:15 Why removing oxygen logistics matters in crisis response and rescue\n03:38 The Netflix versus Blockbuster framing for oxygen infrastructure\n04:05 Why water beats gas tanks for breathing beyond Earth\n05:20...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/q-E1hh7K6IS4AfZiNy2p4MYVGcUOO8lQP92h8QbOEOA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80NzVj/MDEzNjkxNjU1N2Uy/NDFhMDQ3M2ZhNWI3/NWY0MS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
