    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!
 
Hello! Let's say I have a cavity resonant at 10 GHz with a Q factor of 1000. Given the Lorentzian shape of the cavity, I can also drive the cavity at, say 100 MHz. Of course the response will be very very weak, but non-zero given that the Loretzian shape never really reaches zero. I am trying to understand how are the magnetic and electric field distributions of the field at 100 MHz relative to the ones at 10 GHz? In particular, if inside the cavity I have some structure, such as 2 plates...
