Buoyant Force and Massive G force protection?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the feasibility of creating a safe zone for humans to experience high G forces without adverse effects. An experiment with a water-filled balloon demonstrated that buoyant force can counteract G forces, keeping the balloon intact under 60 Gs. There is curiosity about whether a similar setup, with an inner container submerged in water, could shield occupants from acceleration effects. However, skepticism arises as it is noted that occupants in submarines still experience gravity. Currently, no known technology exists to completely prevent G-force effects, only to mitigate them.

I am interested in determining if a method can be devised to create a safe zone for humans to be accelerated at very high G force.

I watched a very interesting experiment where a water filled balloon was submerged in container of water and had 60 g's of force applied via a centrifuge. The balloon remained completely round, showing no sign of the G force applied. The Buoyant Force opposed the G force perfectly.

I am wondering if a similar experiment can be done putting the water filled balloon in the container with no water, enclose that container then submerge that container in another container of water and see if we get the same result of no g force applied on the inner container when accelerated on the centrifuge.

Seems like the inside container would still feel the acceleration. People in a submarine still feel the pull of gravity, so it makes me skeptical of the result I am hoping for.

What I am wondering is if we can build a cockpit that can be surrounded by fluid and protected from massive acceleration.

You are right to be sceptical.

There is no known apparatus or technique to prevent g-force effects.
Mitigate, yes. Prevent, no.
 
Thread 'Question about pressure of a liquid'
I am looking at pressure in liquids and I am testing my idea. The vertical tube is 100m, the contraption is filled with water. The vertical tube is very thin(maybe 1mm^2 cross section). The area of the base is ~100m^2. Will he top half be launched in the air if suddenly it cracked?- assuming its light enough. I want to test my idea that if I had a thin long ruber tube that I lifted up, then the pressure at "red lines" will be high and that the $force = pressure * area$ would be massive...
I feel it should be solvable we just need to find a perfect pattern, and there will be a general pattern since the forces acting are based on a single function, so..... you can't actually say it is unsolvable right? Cause imaging 3 bodies actually existed somwhere in this universe then nature isn't gonna wait till we predict it! And yea I have checked in many places that tiny changes cause large changes so it becomes chaos........ but still I just can't accept that it is impossible to solve...
