Shallow underwater explosions are those where a crater formed at the water's surface is large in comparison with the depth of the explosion. Deep underwater explosions are those where the crater is small in comparison with the depth of the explosion, [2] or nonexistent. The overall effect of an underwater explosion depends on depth, the size ...
The damage that an underwater explosion inflicts on a submarine comes from a primary and a secondary shock wave. The primary shock wave is the initial shock wave of the depth charge, and will cause damage to personnel and equipment inside the submarine if detonated close enough.
The platform commenced drilling in February 2010 at a water depth of approximately 5,000 feet (1,500 m). [12] At the time of the explosion the rig was drilling an exploratory well. [13] The planned well was to be drilled to 18,360 feet (5,600 m) below sea level, and was to be plugged and suspended for subsequent completion as a subsea producer ...
The seismic data were characteristic of underwater explosions, not natural events, and showed that they happened near the locations where the leaks were later discovered. [ 45 ] [ 43 ] [ 46 ] Around the same time, pressure in the non-operating pipeline dropped from 10.50 to 0.70 megapascals (105 to 7 bar), as recorded by Nord Stream in Germany.
Underwater explosions using dry ice and liquid nitrogen are captured in high definition slow motion by The Backyard Scientist.
Underwater injection of Corexit into the leak may have created the oil plumes which were discovered below the surface. [138] Because the dispersants were applied at depth, much of the oil never rose to the surface. [147] One plume was 22 mi (35 km) long, more than 1 mi (1,600 m) wide and 650 ft (200 m) deep. [148]
The wreck lies at a depth of about 3,810 metres (12,500 feet; 2,080 fathoms). [9] Since its discovery, it has been a destination for research expeditions and tourism. By 2012, 140 people had visited the wreck site. [10]
YouTube duo The Slow Mo Guys are no strangers to slow motion explosions, whether it's eggs, capacitors, or levitating apples.In the video above they dial it up to a whopping five million frames ...
