There weren't voice communications between the sub and surface. Water doesn't reliably conduct radio waves. Information transmission was limited to a numbered list of generic phrases, and by generating a code of sorts with pulses of sound, the desired message could be sent and received.
I promise you, if I were ever to design and build something this dangerous, pretty sure that would be my first code to have on the list.
Those poor souls knew the sub was busted for nearly 20 mins…very sad
With the crazy fast descent rate and the fact that they couldn't ascend when they tried makes me wonder if there was a leak or something in the rear controls compartment and it took on water from the beginning?
I watched the James Cameron voyager deep documentary and he was communication with the mother ship at 35K down.
With a wire I’m assuming?
So Morse code through sonar? I was always told communication under like 500ft was very basic.
The sub wasn't very large and you would think within 20-30 min of being submerged you could tell there was water in the cavity. Assuming the transcripts are real, then perhaps they were overweight with occupants and gear causing them to descend at a faster rate and then not being able to ascend at the same rate...
The Voyager Deep was interesting to watch. Was a pretty high-tech submersible but not much room. His communication top side was instant, no texting all audible voice talking.
The commentator stated many times in the video that his comments are assumptions based upon the un-verified transcripts. If someone is mis-led then they are only partially listening or watching the video.
Partially listening or watching is likely the unfortunate norm for many.
Very interesting .... so my take away was basically a quick way to go.
Yeah. And this demo was actually child's play compared to an implosion in actual ocean pressure. Not only is the pressure greater, but the pressure is relentless. The hydraulic ram can't maintain the same pressure after the "break" and throughout the whole implosion, and also there's only a limited amount of "extra" water in the system in this test that can fill the void once it implodes. In the ocean, there is an unlimited amount of water.
Makes sense to me. The pressure from outside tube/ submersible and inside will become equal very fast and seek neutral. Thus every piece of matter unable to withstand that pressure will be pulverized. Thats my take as a non scientist keyboard jockey.
Yeah his ass needs to shut up and dribble right about now.... too soon.... he's just working his next movie concept. Sheesh. I don't truthfully care about dumb wealthy people wanting to risk their lives like this but dudes like Cameron need to be quiet just yet. Rant over thanks.
He’s a pretty big deal in the deep submersible world.
Yeah yeah I know I know... we all know. I just don't care for the dude. Something about his face... always just smelled a fart kinda face.
My man lmao
Trans script apparently says it was at 3,433m = 11,263ft. Descended way to fast then could not ascend back up. This guys explains it well.
Same as the TOW missiles our Cobra's used in the Gulf War. The gunner (front seat) guides the missile onto the target with information traveling through a small wire that feeds out of the back of the missile.
Yup, just dont wanna see him.... anywhere.
No doubt the feeling would be mutual.
I'd be fine with that... SweetPea
I Google Wired Torpedoes before responding and boy did that take me down a rabbit hole for an hour. Torpedoes are cool apparently.
Perfect reply + no surprise here. LMAOI'd be fine with that... SweetPea
I agree here, subway is truly distasteful
Loud crackle/bang heard from the support vessel = “holy shit”
But they will still be voting...
I read somewhere that there were rare metals in the antennas used for the old nuke silos, and some were still left miles from the silos themselves. Big money apparently. It would make sense, being all developed during the cold war, that the same types of conductors would be used.
The antenna I had from a missile site had no rare metals that I know of. My dad designed it and I was used in testing. Put under many many tons on ANFO and blown up to test it. They simulated nuclear explosion that way. I gave it to the March air base museum.
New meaning to "destructive testing"! That thing must be incredibly stout. Very cool that you had a personal link to it, and extremely cool you gave it to the museum.
