Does a barometer function in a submerged submarine?
The solid soft lead bullet is undoubtably the best and most satisfactory expanding bullet that has ever been designed. It invariably mushrooms perfectly, and never breaks up. With the metal base that is essential for velocities of 2000 f.s. and upwards to protect the naked base, these metal-based soft lead bullets are splendid.

Forget everything you know about loading jacketed bullets. This is a whole new ball game!
In the sense of measuring pressure, yes. In the sense of telling you something about
the weather, no, since it is just looking at what is going on inside the sub, not what is
going on in the atmosphere, since the sub is isolated and pressure sealed away from
the atmosphere.

If it was easy, anybody could do it.
Bill, that is what I have been trying to tell a guy, who served on submarines!

Kinda like arguing with a guy about if the light in the refrigerator really does go out when ya close the door.

I was always taught to respect my elders, but it's getting harder and harder to find any!
Μολὼν λαβέ; approximate Classical Greek pronunciation [molɔ̀ːn labé], Modern Greek [moˈlon laˈve]), meaning "Come and take them" is a classical expression of defiance reportedly by King Leonidas in response to the Persian army's demand that the Spartans surrender their weapons at the Battle of Thermopylae.
Actually, the comparison I thought of is like tryin' to talk to somebody that says ya' can't shoot lead bullets without leadin' up the barrel! Right or wrong, they're firmly convinced an' ain't gonna listen, no matter what ya' tell 'em.Originally Posted by Bob Krack

YES, it works just as on dry land, reading the pressure around it. It just has nothing to do with what is above the water. It is reading the barometric pressure within the sub. A barometer in a pressurized airliner works the same. It has no idea where it is and reads the pressure around it, not outside the plane.
Yup. But because the pressure, humidity and temperature in a sub are all very closely controlled, a barometer on a submarine is about as useless as brakes.
Some folks can't see the truth in spite of the facts. Think that is called "Pig Headed"

Going diving Ric? and worried about the fishing weather?
Not entirely useless. You needed to know pressure on either side of a closed water tight door so you could know if you could even open the dang thing, or if when you undogged the door it would knock you on your hind side. For example, if there was a half pound d/p across a door, it would take around 1000 pounds of force to open.
I'm considering a new approach to ice fishing this season.

Tell your friend the barometer will only work in a sub if they leave the door open.

I hear they don't work when sealed in ice either.
Old enough to know better, young enough to do it anyway!

Long term, hard core, no messing around. I like it.

i can assure you dropping a 1/4 lb of black powder through an ice hole will create a nice geyser.
you can then ice skate around for a while on nice smooth ice.
"Assure"? Sounds like the voice of experience. Eh?
We need somebody/something to keep the government (cops and bureaucrats too) HONEST (by non government oversight).
Every "freedom" (latitude) given to government is a loophole in the rule of law. Every loophole in the rule of law is another hole in our freedom. When they even obey the law that is. Too often government seems to feel itself above the law.
We forgot to take out the trash in 2012, but 2016 was a charm! YESSS!
Certainly all of us have dropped a 1/4 stick in a lake before?
I'm told that used to be called a Dupont spinner.Certainly all of us have dropped a 1/4 stick in a lake before?

Do Ya really need a barometer on a Sub to know it's wet outside ?...
May we achieve our aims....
Good point!Do Ya really need a barometer on a Sub to know it's wet outside ?...
