Cartesian Diver

Cartesian Diver is supplied with hollow glass diver, with a 10” x 1.5” glass 
cylinder, a rubber sheet and rubber band. Fill the cylinder with water, 
drop in the diver so he floats, fasten the sheet totally across the top and 
then gently depress the sheet. The diver will dive, his speed depending 
upon the pressure you place on the sheet, release the sheet and the 
diver returns to the surface. The diver’s behaviour illustrates the uniform 
transmission of pressure in all directions, the compressibility of gases 
and Archimedes Principle.
