Air or Gas Buoyancy
Divers have been using air to provide buoyancy for many years.
Nevertheless, gases have a problem – they are compressible. This means that as you put pressure on a gas you reduce its volume according to Boyles Law.
To understand this, imagine a 100 M3 balloon of air at the surface. The balloon will weigh almost nothing and will exerts a buoyant force equivalent to the mass of 100 M3 of water, which equates to 100 tonnes. If we pull this balloon down to below 10 metres the pressure of the water is twice the atmospheric pressure, causing the volume of the balloon to decrease to 50 M3 and reducing the buoyant force by 50 tonnes.
By contrast DeepBuoy™ is offers incompressible buoyancy and so the buoyant force at the bottom of the sea, is exactly the same as at the surface.
