It would increase proportional to depth. All of this is figured out in engineering calculations long before the Bell is built and operated. Therefore there are no pressure gauges ( though there might be for air-recycling) inside the bell, which usually is cylindrically shaped. The ones I was one many years ago at Coney Island had no instruments per se- but had a vertical stack of three push-buttons for the up-down and elevate to dock functions, a switch controlling the air-scrubber, a fan of sorts, and a lever somewhat similar to a railroad brake valve or hand-brake lever- this was the ( Blow Negative) which released a powerful hydraulic spring- and sprang the bell to the surface. The operator would assure everybody was holding onto the safety handrail before shouting (Blow Negative) and flipping the lever- Buzz-Zoom-Pump! on the surface in little over a second. past joys now gone at Coney Island.

Why do people that want to go deep underwater need a submarine or dive bell?

People need a submarine or dive bell to protect themselves from the immense pressure experienced at deep underwater levels. Submarines and dive bells are designed to withstand high pressures and provide a controlled environment for divers to safely explore these depths without risking injury or death.


Does water boil at 220 degrees?

Water does boil at 212º Fahrenheit (100º Celsius) at the PRESSURE AT SEA LEVEL! The lower the pressure (higher altitude) the lower the boiling point of water. Or, if the pressure is manipulated, you can boil water at room temperature in a vacuum (lower pressure) using a bell jar and vacuum pump. As most cooks know, if water has a salt (say table salt) dissolved in it, it will slightly lower the boiling point of water at the same pressure/temperature conditions.


How far can a diving Bell go?

There are different types but the most advanced- crew inside and supplied by air from the surface- the whole works is supported by a large floating crane with plenty of extra lines- hoist and air- they have gone down thousands of feet. The Bathysphere of William Beebe and Otis Barton- still intact at the NY Aquarium is typical of the advanced diving bells- used around l934. Bells vary widely in size. in l9ll a German ( judged from his name) made a descent in what was called a Hydrostat that went down over l600 feet, breaking all records. this craft, as an aerostat is a balloon, may have had something akin to ballast tanks. The Bathyspheres, being captive had no natural buoyancy,- if the cable snapped- look out below! Bells usually have thick glass viewing ports for observation and are also called by the rather broad term of Observation chambers. Several with maybe a l2-man capacity plus operator have been used on captive hoist sites at Amusement Parks, these have a spring-assisted surfacing feature mimicking the ( Blow negative) effect on a submarine. Good fun and if in open water- like those at Atlantic city- some fishy sight seeing as well.


What would happen to a bell in a glass jar if the air was removed?

If *all* of the air was removed, the bell would vibrate if it was rung, but there would be no air to carry the vibrations to the jar walls, so there would be no sound. If only part of the air was removed, the sound would be poorly carried and would not have the same amplitude (volume). (At around 1/100,000th of an atmosphere, low frequency sounds like a bell will no longer be carried because the molecules are farther apart than the wavelength. This is considered a near vacuum.)


What type of graph would represents a polygenic trait?

A histogram or a bell curve would be suitable for representing a polygenic trait, as these traits are influenced by multiple genes and exhibit a continuous range of phenotypic values in a population.

Why would the boiling point of water be high in a pressurised deep sea diving bell?

The high pressure in the deep sea diving bell increases the boiling point of water because it requires more energy to overcome the increased pressure and change the water into vapor. The high pressure forces the water molecules to stay closer together, making it more difficult for them to escape as vapor, thus raising the boiling point.


What is a diving bell?

It is a device that looks like a bell and helps you dive into very deep places. the bell hosts the people in it sheilding them from the pressure.

Why does a diving spider surround itself with a bubble in the water?

Diving spiders make a sort of "diving bell" underwater. They live in there, so they need to fill it with air so they will have something to breathe. The spines on their body can trap air, so they rise to the top of the water, do a sort of somersault to throw themselves above the water surface and right back down into the water. When they come back under, they are covered in a bubble of air. They swim down to the diving bell where they shuck off the bubble of air. If there still is not enough air in their diving bell, then they may go back up again for another bubble.

Why is a diving bell walls very thick?

To resist the water pressure, this is also true of the thickness of the viewing glass which sometimes is wire-reinforced like ports on, say armored cars, for maximum shock resistance.
