    Hot Outside
AI Thread Summary
A hypothetical suit that remains hot on the outside while jumping from a plane raises questions about safety upon hitting the ocean. The idea suggests that heating the water would decrease its density, potentially cushioning the fall. However, the effectiveness of this concept largely depends on the suit's temperature, as water's high specific heat means it wouldn't heat up quickly enough to mitigate injury. If the suit were extremely hot, it could cause a flash boil, leading to a dangerous impact with the ocean's surface. Overall, without a sufficiently high temperature, the suit may not provide the safety anticipated.

If their was a suit that was able to stay hot on the outside of it, and you had no choice but to jump off an airplace that was about to crash and you were flying over the ocean. Would you be safe to jump into the ocean without breaking anybones because this suit was able to stay hot. I think so. Because if you heat up a fluid it becomes less dense. Just say magically that this suit doesn't burn you when you put it on, but say it some how stays hot very hot on the surface of it. Ideally say that it doesn't change temperature while falling from a plane. I think you would be safe.

Zombie Feynman says, "Ideas are tested by experiment."

However, I think it probably depends on how hot the suit is. Unless the suit was extremely hot, it would probably not have much impact on the height that you are able to dive into water without incurring injury. This is because water has a relatively high specific heat, which means that its temperature will not change rapidly enough for the change in density of the water to be of much use to you.
 


Unless you are going to postulate that this suit has some ridiculously high temperature, then it will take some time to heat up the water. You would still 'crash". And if the temperature were high enough to heat it really, really fast, you would probably get a flash boil and just crash into the bottom of the ocean!
 
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...
