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.
Is the moon pool magical?
No, a moon pool is not magical. It is a feature frequently found on marine drilling platforms, used to access the water below the surface for various purposes such as equipment deployment or diver access.
What would happen if you take off your air helmet in outer space?
There are a lot of misconceptions about decompression (mostly from Hollywood). The eyes would certainly not bulge out, since they're secured too firmly in place. The walls of large blood vessels are too sturdy to rupture. Also, there isn't enough expandable tissue within the body to make it bloat out and explode.To put it in perspective, lets say a spacesuit is pressurized at 1atm of pressure. Vacuum would, of course, be 0atm. That would mean a difference of just 1atm of pressure. When a diver descends to 33 feet underwater, he is at 2atm of pressure. If a diver descends to 33 feet and spends a while there (his body acclimates to the pressure), then ascends rapidly, then he would experience the same pressure drop as an astronaut removing his helmet... it happens frequently, but we've never seen a diver explode. If the human body were that expandable/compressible, then it would be impossible to dive less than a few feet underwater.If an astronaut were to take his helmet off, the first effect would probably be the rupture of the tiny delicate blood vessels in the eyes.The next step would depend on whether or not the astronaut had taken a deep breath beforehand. If he had, then he would have a small store of oxygen in his lungs, so he might remain conscious for maybe a minute, but the oxygen would probably be forced out of his lungs within a 10 - 20 seconds; and even if he didmanage to hold, even most, of that air in, he would probably suffer lung damage from the pressure difference. If he hadn't taken a breath he would lose consciousness very quickly, anywhere within a time span of 3 - 20 seconds.In the meantime, gas bubbles would form in his bloodstream from the drop in pressure (the same thing happens to deep-sea divers if they swim to the surface too quickly), which could lead to heart attack or stroke... though the astronaut would probably die before that point.The liquid on his tongue and lips would quickly boil in the vacuum, but this would not be hot, it would produce evaporative cooling, forming frost on his lips the way frost forms on a can of compressed air while being used.The astronaut would eventually freeze (in shadow), but it would take a few hours to days, depending on the insulation in the suit. On earth, body heat can be whisked away by conduction into water or air, but in space, heat can only be radiated away, which in this case is a slower process. On the other hand, if he were in direct sunlight, he'd get burned very quickly since there would be nothing to filter out the sun's rays.A few humans have actually been exposed to vacuum. Back in the day, there was an engineer at NASA testing out a space suit in a vacuum chamber. His space suit leaked and he was exposed to almost total vacuum for 15 seconds. He lost consciousness, but luckily, they were able to repressurize the chamber in time, and he made a full recovery (i.e. his head didn't explode, or anything like that). Also, a man who tested high-altitude balloon jumps lost pressure in his glove, causing his hand to swell to twice the normal size. After returning to earth and recovering, his hand was fine.
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.
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
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.
Would a nail in styrofoam work as a Cartesian diver?
Yes, a nail in Styrofoam could work as a Cartesian diver, provided that the total density of the diver assembly (nail plus Styrofoam) is less than that of the fluid it's in. When you squeeze the container, the increased pressure compresses the air in the Styrofoam, making the diver denser and causing it to sink. Releasing the pressure allows the air to expand, decreasing the density and causing the diver to rise.
Why do free-divers sink at depth?
The cartesian diver sinks because the diver wants to get to a place of low pressure
How does a cartesian diver work?
A Cartesian diver operates on the principles of buoyancy and pressure. It consists of a sealed, partially filled container (the diver) that is buoyant in water. When pressure is applied to the outside of the container, the air inside the diver is compressed, increasing its density and causing it to sink. Releasing the pressure allows the air to expand, decreasing the diver's density, which then causes it to float back to the surface.
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.
Why are Cartesian Diver called Cartesian divers?
Cartesian divers are named after French philosopher and scientist René Descartes. The divers demonstrate principles of buoyancy and pressure in fluid mechanics that Descartes contributed to understanding. The diver's movement within the fluid is a visual representation of these principles.
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."
Why does the air behave in this way in cartesian diver?
In a Cartesian diver, the air behaves as it does due to the principles of buoyancy and pressure. When the container is squeezed, the water pressure increases, compressing the air inside the diver. This increased pressure reduces the volume of air, making the diver denser than the surrounding water, causing it to sink. Releasing the pressure allows the air to expand, decreasing the diver's density, and making it buoyant again, allowing it to rise.
How does pascals principle help explain the behavior of the cartesian diver?
Pascal's principle states that a change in pressure at any point in an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to all points in the fluid. This principle helps explain the behavior of the Cartesian diver, as the change in pressure when the diver is squeezed causes the enclosed air to compress and the diver to sink, and when pressure is released, the compressed air expands, causing the diver to rise.
How does pascal principle help explain the behavior of the cartesian diver?
Pascal's principle states that a change in pressure at any point in an enclosed fluid is transmitted equally to all points in the fluid. In the case of a Cartesian diver, when you apply pressure to the container, the pressure is transmitted to the fluid inside, causing the diver to compress and sink. When you release the pressure, the diver expands and rises due to the equal distribution of pressure in the fluid, demonstrating Pascal's principle in action.
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.
