How DeepBuoy™ Buoyancy Works
The diagram below demonstrates how an object floats when its average density is lower than fluid density. Buoyancy depends on submerged volume and density. Attaching a container (such as a bag), full of DeepBuoy™ can reduce the average density of a submerged object.
Once the average density is less than the density of water, the object will float. Alternatively, if we make a object float with DeepBuoy™ and then pump some fluid out, the object will start to sink very slowly, offering a controlled means of installing structures subsea.
How DeepBuoy™ Floats
The diagram to the left shows how a lower fluid density to average density created buoyancy.
By carefully controlling the amount of DeepBuoy™ added, an object can be given neutral buoyancy, making it 'hang' stationary within the water column.
