The biggest problem is he’s engineering in Imperial instead of SI units.
I thought the same way, then became an American engineer. Fuck a horsepower, because it’s so goddamned context dependent.
Am I assuming correctly that we’re looking at a big succ-situation, where the diver will big forced through the tube no matter what?
It’s a difference of like 7 psi over an area of what looks like maybe 30 square inches, which would be uncomfortable to get caught in, but I don’t think you’re getting Byford Dolphined
from a different reply I understood the meaning of the last two words: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byford_Dolphin
210 lbs will certainly keep you stuck there though

anon’s in trouble because they’re using psi instead of bar.
Edit: also fuck high pressures are a scary thing.
This unfortunately happened in real life.
Edit: other way around though. The divers were on the air side (habitable quarters) of the chamber.
For more clarification, they were on the high pressure air side. The kind of dives they were doing involved long periods of acclimation to the different pressures involved, so the diving bell was pressurized to 9 atmospheres. Someone fucked up, and the door opened. 9 atmospheres turned into 1 atmosphere very quickly, and the only good thing is that it happened so fast that the deceased wouldn’t have even noticed
If you want to see an episode of a podcast about engineering disasters which is itself, ironically, an engineering disaster, well there’s your problem
I don’t see the problem.
I mean, I don’t swim, but the dynamics seem to make sense.
What am I missing?
Edit: Ah, don’t go near the water passage, right?
I just remembered that meme “SpongeBob Experiences Delta-P and Dies Instantly”
Although I’m having a Mandela Effect moment where I swear I saw a version where Patrick talked a lot longer with much more technical information.
