The answer is no, because a Cartesian diver requires an air pocket that can be compressed. By compressing this air pocket the air molecules get closer together and change the density of the vessel that they are in. This causes it to sink. candles do not have air pockets, so there would be nothing to compress.

When was the newt suit invented?
This special underwater suit was made in the 1970's. The Newt Suit is built to withstand the pressure of deep water. Developed by Vancouver diver Phil Nuytten, it looks like something an astronaut would wear underwater. Two electric thrusters are attached to the suit, to move the diver forward. The suit is very heavy out of the water, but nearly weightless underwater. A person wearing the suit can work at 305 m below the surface for up to 8 hours.
Why do divers watches say they are pressurized to three atmospheres?
This basically means that when the diver is underneath the water, the pressure down there is 3 times the pressure at normal land level. This means that the watch won't crack or break at three atmospheres worth of pressure.
Does Mars have an atmosphere if it does what is it like?
mars is called the red planet because it has a slightly reddish tinge when you see it in the sky. the atmosphere of Mars is mostly carbon dioxide and has only 1 percent the pressure of Earth's atmosphere. You could walk around on Mars but you would have to wear an airtight suit and carry your own air, like a scuba diver. Mars has clouds but they are very thin compared to the clouds on earth. from the natural explorer text book
Will a parachute slow a sky diver more at a very high altitude or at a lower altitude?
Parachutes work best in a dense medium. Since air density decreases with altitude, the closer you are to the surface the better a parachute will work. You still have to give it time to deploy to work, though.
How do astronauts produce oxygen in space?
The oxygen in a spacecraft is recycled through a chemical process that removes the carbon from the carbon dioxide we breathe out. Very much the same as the underwater "re-breather" that allows a scuba diver to stay underwater for hours without carrying massive air tanks. A more difficult situation would be if the air were somehow lost to space. That would be harder. But if the air leak could be patched, they could boil the water on-board to replace much of the air. While there would be an imbalance of lack of nitrogen, and an excess of hydrogen, the only ill effects would be that they will talk funny until they can return home. It is also possible that they could use some of the oxygen that is used for the engines, but having too much oxygen content can cause other problems. The air we normally breathe is only about 20% oxygen.
Why are Cartesian Diver called Cartesian divers?
cause of him
How does the density of the air change in the Cartesian Diver experiment?
As the "diver" descends, air density inside the diver's capsule increases as it is compressed.
Why do free-divers sink at depth?
The cartesian diver sinks because the diver wants to get to a place of low pressure
What is a Cartesian Diver most known for?
The Cartesian Diver is actually a scientific experiment. It helps divers determine what amount of air is needed for descent and ascent so that neither is done too quickly which can cause death.
A Cartesian diver made from a plastic bottle filled with water and an inverted test tube partially filled with water What causes the diver to sink as the bottle is squeezed?
"The volume of air in the diver decreases."
How does pascal principle help explain the behavior of the cartesian diver?
because school is a good place to be for tony
The picture shows a Cartesian diver made from a plastic bottle filled with water and an inverted test tube partially filled with water. What causes the diver to sink as the bottle is squeezed?
The volume of air in the driver decrease.
Who is the french mathematician that invented Cartesian coordinate plane?
Rene Descartes, the surname means ( some charts or some maps) Descartes theorized than any equation can be expressed in graphical form, form follows family names! Descartes and the Cartesian idea became associated with the Cartesian diver, a toy deep-see diver that rises and falls owing to buoyancy and openings in the diver figure. It is probable this came along long after the death of M Descartes, but was bestowed in an honorary fashion- as were many of the (Inventions) of Leonardo Da Vinc i and closer to home, Franklin.
How does pascals principle help explain the behavior of the cartesian diver?
Because when force is applied to a confined fluid, the change in pressure is transmitted equally to all parts of the fluid.
What are some stuff named after Rene Descartes?
Some things named after René Descartes include the Cartesian coordinate system used in mathematics, the Descartes' rule of signs in algebra, and the Cartesian diver in physics. Additionally, there are numerous schools, streets, and institutions around the world named after him.
What would Tom Daley want to be if he was not a diver?
Tom would be a Gymnast if he wasn't a Diver. He is looking at TV work as a presenter also.
Why would a scuba diver go underwater?
Becasue if a SCUBA diver didn't go underwater, they really wouldn't be a SCUBA diver. SCUBA stands for Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus.
