Very Cool - I was not expecting the boat on deck to get sucked under. But maybe go down due to the bubbles reducing the waters ability to support it's displacment :-) Capt Jack R.. I heard it was there as part of a Myth Busters show. I didn't get the idea from Myth busters. But there have been some interesting programs on the Bermuda triangle where they tested this. Trying to see if a ship could be sunk due to the release of gas deposits being released from the bottem. One test was in a tank with a model. And another was with a runnabout where they had alot of equipment pumping air into some large device to create bubbles. It's been awhile since I had seen this and the results were very interesting. This sounds like what they were doing: http://www.theage.com.au/articles/20...631498889.html Cheers" Capt Jack R.. |
