    i remember a greentext about this, and a wiki article, but where is it again? I thought it was the Norwegian oil platform disaster but no

      Bro is about to be sucked into the opening and mangled to death then drown because of the flow / pressure / whatever

    Delta P doesn’t care. Delta P doesn’t give a shit.

      I hate “delta p” so much, as in the term. I’m convinced divers just used it so they could sound even more elitist and like astronauts when they’re just dudes with a few grand and nothing better to do. Erm, akshualy that isn’t a vacuum, that’s a device that’s creates delta p. P stands for pressure and delta is a scientific notation for change. Cool dude, now finish delta p-ing your fucking room.

        Static pressure on it’s own doesn’t really “do” anything though. You could have the thinest piece of solid material with 10 million atmospheres on either side and the material doesn’t care since forces cancel out. Difference in pressure is where shit goes pop or crush depending on the direction.

        Hey… Some of us just like blowing bubbles and hanging out with fish.

        It is pretty fun, but to be honest not worth the money if you have to pay for the training yourself, especially if you don’t live near a good diving spot.

    I mean the dolphin story is gruesome. But for this five to get a severe injury he must be very close to the hole, almost touching it.

    The suction power is not that great in an underwater scenario.

    What made the dolphin so gruesome is that it was an explosive decompression and besides the driver closest to the door no server dismemberment took place, only a very sudden decompression making for a very sudden yet horrid death.

    If the diver in this diagram keeps a couple of centimeters away from the opening he is completely fine but if he manages to cover the outlet hole with some of his anatomy, the shit hits the fan.

        Just near it enough to get a little suction

        Well it would make for quite the ‘out of body experience’. And if thats your kink I won’t shame it.

        I would sort out your estate beforehand, if you catch my drift.

    Is that enough pressure differential to injure you? Get stuck yes but 6.5 PSI doesn’t seem that crazy.

    • duckythescientist@sh.itjust.works ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Actually maybe. Imagine you got your back stuck on a 1 ft diameter pipe. That’s 735 lbs pushing on you.

      source
      • rizzothesmall@sh.itjust.works ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Add the in the weight and speed of the water already moving through the pipe and the pressure on the other side becomes hugely negative.

        You’re going in that pipe.

      My understanding is, this is a very common cause of death among divers. The pressure doesn’t kill you, but it gets you stuck long enough that you suffocate
