Interesting point about the Trieste if nobody has mentioned it yet: The big part on top isn't where the crew goes, it's a tank of lighter-than-water liquid that regulates the buoyancy of the rest of the equipment. It's liquid instead of gas so it's incompressible and doesn't implode. The little ball on the bottom is where the people sat. So it's like an underwater Zeppelin.
- eternauta3k 3y agoNitpick, the reason the float doesn't implode is because it's open at the bottom. As the gasoline (very slightly) contracts, seawater comes in. From the wikipedia article.
