  2. Drownproofing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drownproofing

    In Drownproofing terminology, the great majority of people are "floaters". That is to say that, with the lungs fully inflated (or say at total lung capacity), they have slightly less specific gravity than water and will not start to sink until they exhale. [8] An average floater has 3–4 lb (1.4–1.8 kg) of positive buoyancy in fresh water.

    Thus, coals must be subjected to a float-sink test in the laboratory, which will determine the optimum particle size for washing, the density of the wash liquid required to remove the maximum ash value with the minimum work. Float-Sink testing is achieved on crushed and pulverised coal in a process similar to metallurgical testing on metallic ore.

    New methods are being developed to make the oxygen sensors more accurate including the frequent calibration of the sensors when the floats are at the surface. [8] Oxygen measurements collected by floats with this calibration process improves the measurements to within a 1% accuracy in reference to measurements determined from the Winkler test ...

    Liberation data is commonly obtained by float and sink analysis. The procedures for this analysis are detailed in Australian Standard AS 4156.1 – 1994 "Coal preparation — Higher rank coal — Float and sink testing". [citation needed]

    After a certain period, typically 10 days, they return to the surface, transmit their data via satellite, then sink again. [18] See Argo (oceanography) . Tsunami buoys are anchored buoys that can detect sudden changes in undersea water pressure, and are a component of tsunami warning systems in the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center and Indian Oceans.

    In the "Sink or Float" YouTube game, ... The game's primary goal is to give kids a crash course in the scientific method. But if you have a fish tank (or in my case an aquatic turtle tank), just ...

  8. Float (oceanography) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Float_(oceanography)

    A float will descend to a predetermined depth where it will be neutrally buoyant. Once a certain amount of time has passed, most floats will rise back to the surface by increasing its buoyancy so it can transmit the data it collected to a satellite. A float can collect data while it is neutrally buoyant or moving through the water column. Often ...
