To Keith, damn Keith I sent you a private email and you re-posted it to all. This is very uncool and it will result in bad karma underwater I am sure. Please do not post private emails of mine to others without my permission. I would not post private emails of yours. Is this how this groups operates? To all, here was my other private response (see below) to our once private exercise. I stated right away that in his explanation he was right but that I thought he was out of context. I do know how buoyancy works. And I explained that Chris was talking about a change in volume also occurring too, to make it a net gain sum of zero. Keith all you did here was make me seem like an ass, thanks. My private reply to Keith Taylor regarding my comment to rethink: All in all you are correct, but what I was referring to was the way you responded to his post. It was, at least to me a little confusing. I took Chris to mean that the dry suit partially flooded and that he still had air in it and therefore the volume of the suit subsequently changed thereby making it a net sum gain of zero again. <redacted, stuff not germame> cheers, tom B=roh*V*g end -----Original Message----- From: Keith Taylor [mailto:greymouser@mi*.co*] Sent: Thursday, August 16, 2001 2:51 PM To: Rogers, Thomas A Cc: Techdiver List You want to give me a hint as to what I should be rethinking. Buoyancy is a function of displacement and weight, weight of the displaced fluid and the weight of the object displacing the fluid. A dry suit has air inside displacing water, if water where to completely take the place of the air then the dry suit/diver combo would be more negative after the flood than before. More than likely a bit colder, too. Are you talking about the buoyancy of water in water, of course that's zero (assuming same salinity, mineral content, etc.), but the net sum change of the diver/dry suit combo is to become more negative.
