Bathysphere

Bathysphere is a sphere shaped submersible connected to a ship by a steel cable. The bathysphere needs to be pulled back up from the ocean constantly for whom ever is inside of the bathysphere can breath. The bathysphere does notgo deeper than bathyscaphe does. Inside of the bathysphere, there is an oxygen tank value and oxygen tanks to breath. Imagine you holding your breath for at least an hour to at least get one yard close to the deep ocean floor crazy huh. That is why Beebe and Barton invented the oxygen tank. Air is released from the two tank by chemicals being used to absorbed moisture and carbon dioxide. Inside of the bathysphere, there is telephone, oxygen tanks, oxygen tank value, searchlight, the entrance to the bathysphere and etc. The picture below will show the equipment's where it is located. Beebe and Barton made a record on August. 15,1934, 3028 feet. By the time the bathysphere is going deeper and deeper every minute, the increased water pressure and potential problem with the support line makes the deeper dives risky. While the bathysphere is collecting information of the ocean floor, marine biologist observes the deep sea while the marine biologist gathers information about the unknown species, and plants.



Bathyscaphe: is a free diving self-propelled deep-sea submersible. The bathyscaphe does not need to be pulled up constantly. The first inventor of the bathyscaphe is Auguste Piccard. Auguste got the name bathyscaphe using Ancient Greek words. The bathyscaphe can adjust horizontal movements or for motion upward or downward by replacing gasoline with water which makes the bathyscaphe denser. The bathyscaphe had such a powerful light that the crew Trieste noted that the floor consisted of diatomaceous ooze and observed flatfish. The Trieste suggested that it may have been a sea cucumber. Sea cumcumbers are marine animals with a leathery skin and elongated body containing a single, branched gonad.
