How to pronounce “submersible” in English

The submersible industry is kind of a microcosm of what's going on with funding for science overall in the world, I believe.

Most submersibles wouldn't have fully redundant propulsion and if they had a motor failure they would simply surface and call their support ship.

Manned submersibles are doomed, actually, is what he said.

And the submersible also has fully redundant propulsion systems because of where I operate.

have the manned submersible here, Alvin, then the remote vehicles Jason, then this whole panoply of autonomous vehicles.

You build a submersible, design it for that depth, and you can get 98% of the sea floor.

So the submersibles allowed us to put scientists-- yes.

Ballard said manned submersibles are obsolete.

was responsible for piloting the submersible that traveled many thousands of feet under the water and depositing the said flag.

The limiting factor on how deep a submersible hull can go is strength to weight ratio.

So we've had the submersibles underwater, and we have a chase boat on the surface so we always know where this submersible is.

And then the person in the submersible would stow their equipment.

Redundancy is a big thing in submersibles.

And that's why some submersibles-- well, they're testing one right now that's made out of carbon fiber that will be for 4,000 meters

When we first went in with the submersibles in 2008, it was really like caveman style.

some friends of ours charter the mirror submersibles that they were used to film the movie Titanic and we take them down

And it starts down at the bottom with manned submersibles like Alvin, which you may well have heard of.

They're all replaced then by 20,000 foot submersibles.

The most accurate estimate as of this filming in 2026 came from a series of submersible dives in 2020, which clocked it at 10,935 meters deep.

So with the exception of China and India-- China now operates the deepest submersible.

His Virgin Oceanic submersible uses a fused quartz dome.

Right now, all the 6,000 meter submersibles rely on a titanium sphere which is

make it or break it when you have people that are outside of the submersibles.

And also just a little bit of background on how I built the submarines and a little bit on where the submersible industry is as a whole.

And so in this case, this is called a Deep Workers Single Person Submersible, and there's a boom off the front here with an astronaut,

Like we had two subs in there, we were recording the data on board of the submersible, and then all of that was actually tape.

In fact the crew of the ship baked a cake with Ballard's quote that said manned submersible are doomed.

to use this, what they found, very capable manned submersible.

show us how to maintain and operate it, it was only a 20,000 foot submersible.

They rent themselves out, these big, huge semi-submersible and drill 3,000, 12,000, 10,000 feet below the ocean for oil.

Actually the dive I made on the World War II battleship Bismarck on one of the Russian Mir submersibles, that's 14 hours.

Now, I can’t take you on a tour of it— the Crash Course budget is a little too tight for a full-on submersible.

But when they do it, the dome is on the side of a volcano, or it's a teeny, tiny submersible deep in the--

work, which usually would be the very first thing that would be done before putting any assets like a submersible or an ROV

But there was a great deal of tension, in some cases literally tension pulling on the cable between the folks who operated the manned submersible, Alvin,

And we also have information passing through a tether that includes high definition video, as well as the voice of the submersible pilot.

As a research engineer at Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, he developed the control system and pilot interface for the Jason submersible vehicle.

With the remote vehicle, it meant that rather than having three people in the sphere of the submersible-- one of whom was a pilot, two of whom were scientist observers--

This is a, an autonomous submersible that has been tested down in Antarctica under the glacial ice in one of these lakes and it can go on its own

Later, tools like sonar, submarines, satellites, and submersibles let us gather data from above and send stuff below— everything from cameras to robots to “Titanic” director James Cameron.

To put it in context, 20 years ago the United States, on a government level, was operating five deep sea submersibles.

The phase that we're in right now is we've gone through the initial exploration, we've put our submersibles-- our AUVs-- in the water,

working, uh, in summer, or autumn, or something like that, when the lake is not frozen, you would need ships and you would need submersibles to go down and wire
