Walk on the Bottom of a River Without Getting Wet? 🤯

Walk on the bottom of a river without getting wet? 🤯 This is the incredible world of the Diving Bell Ship, a revolutionary underwater marvel! This insane vessel uses cutting-edge technology to create a dry space below water, allowing you to literally walk on riverbeds without wearing a wetsuit or carrying an oxygen tank.

I explain how this ship’s inverted underwater chamber pumps in oxygen and pushes out water, creating a dry and safe environment for exploring the mysterious depths of rivers and lakes. Originally inspired by Belgium's legendary diving bell ships, this engineering masterpiece is used for tasks like salvaging lost treasures and exploring underwater worlds we never thought possible.

A diving bell is a rigid chamber used to transport divers from the surface to depth and back in open water, usually for the purpose of performing underwater work. The most common types are the open-bottomed wet bell and the closed bell, which can maintain an internal pressure greater than the external ambient. Diving bells are usually suspended by a cable, and lifted and lowered by a winch from a surface support platform. Unlike a submersible, the diving bell is not designed to move under the control of its occupants, or to operate independently of its launch and recovery system.

The diving bell is one of the earliest types of equipment for underwater work and exploration. Its use was first described by Aristotle in the 4th century BC: "they enable the divers to respire equally well by letting down a cauldron, for this does not fill with water, but retains the air, for it is forced straight down into the water." Recurring legends about Alexander the Great (including some versions of the Alexander Romance) tell he explored the sea in some closed vessel, lowered from his ships. Their origin is hard to determine, but some of the earliest dated works are from the early Middle Ages. In 1535, Guglielmo de Lorena created and tested his own diving bell to explore a sunken vessel in a lake near Rome. De Lorena's diving bell only had space for enough oxygen for a few minutes however, the air in his diving bell was reported to last for one to two hours with the limiting factor being a diver's ability to withstand cold and fatigue, not lack of oxygen. The mechanism he used needed to keep the pressure inside the bell continuous, supply fresh air, and remove air exhaled by the diver. To accomplish this, it is believed that de Lorena used a method similar to what would later be Edmond Halley's 1691 design.

I'd try it once, but would not press my luck, lol.
