ah thanks. Does anyone else know a quick source or formula for ideal work to compress water? and the equation of state for water? I am certainly an amateur so if these are complex I may be out of my league...

Do you still happen to have the equation for this? Or could you post the two sources you reference for ideal work and the equation of state? Thanks!

Thanks, Springs. I take it that is the volume of water displaced by the balloon (ie 3 cubic ft)? If it is the volume displaced then: Kw=(Mass of Water per cubic Ft)*(Gravity)*(Depth2 - Depth1) Kw=(62.4 lbs/cu ft*volume)*(9.8m/s^2)*(Depth2 - Depth1)Kw=(187.2 Lbs)*(31.36 FT/s^2)*(200ft-100ft)...

How much energy (Watts?) would be created by a balloon that was released under water? I am picturing a scuba diver's inflatable vest (a BC) that is suddenly inflated (assume zero air inside to begin with). Or more accurately if you have ever seen a free-diver who swims down a few hundred feet...

Does anyone know a formula to show the amount of energy the ball is expending getting to the surface? ie how much weight could it pull up and at what speed (I assume this speed would be its eventual terminal velocity, given you put it in something deeper such as the ocean)? Does the amount of...
