What is a neutral buoyancy?

neutral buoyancy is achieved when the object or body in liquid or gas does not increase or consider, but instead maintains a constant depth. If the effect of gravity on the weight of liquid or gas is not overcome by an object, in other words, if the object is heavier than the medium in which it is, it becomes less hunger and sinks. Conversely, if the gravitational effect on the object is too overcome, if the object is lighter than the medium, it becomes more floating and increases. Neutral buoyancy is a condition where the mass of the object in the medium equals the weight of the relocated medium. Thus, the pressure on the surface that water exerts on a submerged object is its buoyancy. The denser the water in which the object is immersed, the more the object is floating. Since the mid -1950s, the National Aviation and Space Administration (NASA) maintained in conjunction with the US Army a simulator of a neutral buoyancy where astronauts maintain constant neutral buoyancy in a huge tank filled with water to live and work at anythe environment of space. NASA currently maintains two such devices; Original simulator in Huntsville, Alabama and a newer device in Houston Texas.

mammals, albeit somewhat hovering by nature, constantly create a positive and negative buoyancy with a simple act of breathing. The air, by its very nature lighter than water, is inhaled and stored in the lungs for a moment, ensuring positive buoyancy-steps. After exhale, lung mass with air exhaustion becomes more subject to gravity, so the body becomes negatively hunger, more susceptible to gravity, and the and will tend to decline. The acquisition of neutral buoyancy can be carried out by controlled breathing.

Submarines are able to achieve neutral buoyancy by mechanical means to balance the amount of air with a lot of water in the ballast tanks of the container. Skin divers must also be qualified in achieving and maintaining a neutral buoyancy. AfterThe groping with a separately contained underwater breathing device (Scuba) essentially requires the ability to maintain constant depth for maneuvering and work. The constantly adapting buoyancy robs diving divers about much needed stamina and diverts attention from the target of the dive, thus paying most of the pleasure and/or the usefulness of the diver.
