Dude i saw it too on discovery channel or sumthing. It took the geezer 3 attempts to sink a speed boat. But at a certain displacement and the right amount of methane (based on exiting methane from shifting techtonic plates) the dude sure enough sunk it. It only needs to be done in enough time to to sink the boat low enough to take on water and bye, bye.

In easier terms its like taking water from under a boat and leaving nothing but air. The boat drops due to it being heavier than air and the surrounding water is thrown on board.

Damn to much college work

Cya!

It's all down to density and specific gravity........ alcohol is less dense than water, air is less dense than both, so the more air a liquid contains the lower any boat will sit in it due to reduced buoyancy, it's all down to upforce. A constant column of bubbles is mainly air so the boat basicaly falls through it. Same with alcohol. Salt water is more buoyant than fresh for the same reason.

You'll not be saying that in a sinking boat in the middle of the atlantic................" if only I'd listened to all that bollox on paintballer, we'd be saved"

Or more likely "Turns out they were right after all. And they said there was no way to escape? Ah bugger."

Also true

I'm thinking of testing the "you can't swin in gin theory" at the weekend...... I'll try it with Tequila.
(I know you can't, but it'll be a laugh finding out).
