Cartesian diver

He is using the Cartesian diver experiment to support his thoughts.

However some cereal prizes were cartesian divers which did not require baking powder.

"I know where to find the Cartesian Diver who tells fortunes.

Perhaps the most elegant method developed by Linderstrøm-Lang is the Cartesian diver for measuring density.

To test this hypothesis, perform the Cartesian diver experiment with the dropper sealed so that the water level within the dropper cannot change.

The only difference is that the air in a boat is "in communication" with the atmosphere, while in a Cartesian diver it is held separate.

A well known and reliable procedure, such as a demonstration of well-established scientific principle, may be described as classic: e.g. the cartesian diver experiment.

A Cartesian diver and a boat float in exactly the same way: they trap air below the surface of the water, so that the water they displace weighs more than they do.

A Cartesian diver or Cartesian devil is a classic science experiment, named for René Descartes, which demonstrates the principle of buoyancy (Archimedes' principle) and the ideal gas law.

A Cartesian diver, on the other hand, has an internal space that, unlike a hydrometer, is not rigid, and thus can change its displacement as increasing external air pressure compresses the air in the diver.

Among the free gifts in British cereal boxes were: baking powder submarines, cartesian divers, miniature sharks with rotating tails powered by rubber bands, catamarans powered by small balloons, and collecting cards.

Dr. Ken Mellendorf Physics Instructor Illinois Central College Yes, in the Cartesian diver experiment you are changing the density of the float because you are compressing the air in the float.

The cartesian diver experiment is set up by placing a "diver"-a small, rigid tube, open at one end, very similar to an eyedropper, in a larger container with some flexible component; for example, a two liter soft drink bottle.

The Professor - U.S. physicist Professor Julius Sumner Miller, a veteran of the Mickey Mouse Club (where he was known as Professor Wonderful), provided science lessons on such things as thermal expansion and the cartesian diver.
