If you are trapped inside a glass cube with 75% water, and the air in the 25% remaining space is running out, can you then splash/stir the water around to "create"/free more air that is trapped in/under the water? If so, will it do you any good? How long extra can you survive by doing this if we assume that all the air in the 25% has just run out?

Seeing as how there's Oxygen in water, it might be possible to resupply the air with more oxygen. I'm not sure if just splashing it around will do the trick too well (water is a very greedy substance) but it probably will add some oxygen into the air if you really mix it well.

You can extract air from water by lowering the pressure of the water. Simply splashing around wouldn't accomplish this.

I think that splashing around would make you burn more energy, thus increasing your oxygen consumption and actually shortening your lifespan rather than lengthening it.

I think you would need gills to extract the air from it to live.
