Carbon dioxide experiments on the seafloor

[happinesson]

good experiment. good contribution

[Vajrasiddha]

"The carbon dioxide turns into a liquid because of the high pressure and near freezing temperature of the surrounding seawater."

Cool, does Oxygen do the same thing, could it be possible a breathable atmosphere could be made to where humans can breathe 2 miles down there?

Always been curious as to how the life down there can survive the extreme cold. Does their blood contain a natural anti-freeze in it?

[JPFanBoy2]

Atmosphere cant form in WATER retard

[darkabba]

atmosphere??? O_o

[RiuvGuitar]

i hate humans

[N3m3cis]

Same here, humanity would be so nice if there wouldn't be humans in it...

[amauta5]

lol you guys. at the right temperature and the right pressure, ANYTHING can be liquid. ugh with you people.

and the that fish is like "Wtf is goin on!?"

[Kuku1123]

The fish is like "wtf is going on" LOL XD

[sharinganx12]

I'm thinking liquid hydro-carbon..haha because CARBON dioxide and WATER..so hydro-carbon? (insider joke)

[hardcorejumpcore]

of course it exist, its chemically made ofcourse.

[ashleyxqueso]

a liquid form of carbon dioxide doesnt exist

this is a lie

[survivalofone]

It does exist, it just doesn't occur naturally.

[Elbiatch]

Yes it does you retard

[ArocketScientist]

Ummmm...when did you start failing basic science classes? Any gas can be made liquid with either sufficient pressure or low enough temperature...or a combination of both. LEARN!

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

That sounds like something only arocketscientist could understand.

[Sprite141]

No, a rocket scientist wouldn't understand this, a biologist would.

Except I understood it.

[sw0rd0fadvers1ty]

Wow, that must mean that you're really smart, huh?

[itubetheworld1]

thats about the funniest things i've heard all day. let me guess you failed 7th grade sci?

[itubetheworld1]

what ashleyxqueso said i mean.

[ashleyxqueso]

uh hey carbon dioxide sublimes. in nature it only exists as a gas. in labs you can make it into dry ice. the bonds between the oxygen atoms and carbon atoms are definitely not strong enough to exist as a liquid but with enough pressure and rly low temperatures the gas becomes a solid. GET YOUR SHIT STRAIGHT TARDS.

[itubetheworld1]

No shit. yeah dry ice sublimates. But any gas put at a high enough pressure and you can lower its FREEZING POINT. just google how they make dry ice you idiot.

[dermotk5]

its under water in the sea

thats still nature

[fluxmaden]

lol

[funkalishous]

A concentrated amount of CO2 rushed out in a small area. Hmm. I wonder what is going to happen. Lets release a concentrated amount of CO2 in your room, and see if you start having a hard time breathing. What if the CO2 being release in the ocean is spread out, and is breathed in by plants and microbes on the way down. You didnt factor that in did you? I see the obvious problems of polluting, but you people are like religious fanatics who dont listen to opposition. There is more research needed.

[novananda]

KurNorock, you are the one who is wrong. A typical nuclear power plant creates many 10s of tons of radioactive waste each year - some undepleted U235, Plutonium, among others- you're talking about half-lives of anywhere from 20,000 to 100s of millions of years. The most appalling issue is that we dump this waste on countless future generations who have no say in the matter.

[haluam]

for chochol down there.

incase if you hadn't heard about it, some high schoolers in the pete conrad spirit of innovation competition has developed an extremely commercially viable renewable energy system,

its implemented on the bottom of the ocean inside of thermal vents to take advantage of the extreme temperature gradients. their idea is a complete reinvention of the thermal generator by using sound energy converted to electricity instead of kinetic energy as seen in all technologies today.

[ff11chochol]

to comment on the green energy it has bene around for atleast 40 years with the use of crystals in all of our electronics.

Green energy means a hell of alot of less jobs and big corparations not making money why do u think that we dont do it cause then we would be taking care of everyone and not just the rich.

Electromagnetic energy,crystal energy, solar energy,thermo electric energy, wind,water,pressure energy. Hay and werent cars made to be run on hemp fuel 100% clean fuel.

Greed stops it

[check123450]

just by looking how things move in the bottom of the ocean is the same thing out in space.

[notethan]

too bad that as more and more CO2 gets absorbed into the water, it combines with calcium in the water and creates limestone. therefore, the concentration of CO2 never deviates much from anything out of the ordinary.

[TheBlissLee]

but you do realize that even if what you say is true, that calcium is needed by organisms in ocean to produce their shells, etc. CO2 input would greatly affect the ocean ecosystems

[imroy264]

Yes, their shells are made of calcium carbonate. That's also the stuff that notethan is referring to.

[kali4niabliss]

I guess what I meant was not clear. If the Calcium ions in the water are reacting to the dissolved CO2 in the water, they will not be able to use the Calcium to make their shells. there is a strong inverse correlation between acidity and thickness of shells of marine organisms

[kali4niabliss]

oops. not sure if that makes sense. I meant inverse correlation between pH and thickness of shells

[samanthaloveshayne66]

this is a great job

[budbrother]

Chimera fish, nice

[howardisgod]

i think this is an interesting experiment but it also lacks validity, for the concentration of CO2 that they are using to exist at that level in the oceon the upper atmosphere would have to be almost pure CO2.

as for the use of renuable energy, thats a great idea, the second anyone finds a good enough source of renuable energy.

[FfullF]

Hey homie!

You have a phd?

"This video shows an experiment to study the effects of carbon dioxide (CO2) on deep-sea animals." Sounds like a qualitative study to me. Check out my videos.

[imroy264]

We have great sources of "renuable" energy. The problem is storing the energy - to store power from solar panels and wind generators and use it during the evening and night. And we need portable power for cars, trucks, boats, and planes.

[andy187inc]

hehe the bottom has fish poop lol

[CALEiGH18]

kk thank u i understand now

[yourface7776]

Millions of dollars wasted on a useless robot for a garbage experiment. The money could be spent getting alternative energy sources into larger production instead of this crap to see what would happen if we keep emitting Co2.

[KurNorock]

We have no real alternative energy because none of it works. Solar and wind power just don't work. Ethanol is too expensive and takes away from food production. Clean coal IS clean but liberals won't allow it.

The only truely clean, renewable, and cheap, form of energy we have is nuclear energy. Modern designs make a meltdown impossible and a nuclear plant would be much safer to have in your town that any other energy plant.

[seborrg]

Agreed, nfortunately nuclear energy produces a lot of toxic waste which will be just as toxic in 50 000 years so we have to dump it somewhere and leave the responsibility for it to the next generations, who do not enjoy the advantages of nuclear energy but only suffer from its disadvantages. So nuclear energy is prohibitively antisocial.

[NWRequiem]

I agree to an extent, but I certainly hope that the future generations would indeed be able to enjoy the advantages from us using nuclear nrg now; while the poison of nuclear waste is dangerous, it is more easily contained moment in comp. to fossil fuels, is it not? The research and experience from handling NE is valuable, and we need time to research more efficient, green energy - and the sociological change associated with green living - nuclear might give us room to maneuver. (no expert here)

[KurNorock]

You could not be more wrong.

Nuclear plants produce ZERO toxic waste. What they do is use up radioactive rods. Once a rod has lost its capability to produce energy they are still slightly radio active and can actually be recycled a large number of times before they are discarded.

There is a facility that can safely house all the spent rods we could ever produce over the next 11,000 years. And this is just ONE facility.

[KurNorock]

And over time the rods will eventually decay to the point that they are not radioactive and will simply be a harmless metal rod.

Nuclear power plants are nothing like what you see on the simpsons.

It is ignorance and the fear that ignorance breeds that keeps us from utilizing the most efficient, clean, and safe, form of energy we have access to. And it is a damn shame too.

[benrweston]

what happens to all that "dirty" water? and it is a shame that we just use them as big steam turbines and not the actual electrons being kicked off. I don't think they keep getting used to the point of flat activity though like you talk about because the plant wants high yield.

[KurNorock]

It isn't "dirty" water.

It is heavy water. And it is simply reused.

[getsunin]

deep sea research is mainly privately funded and the money given to it by governments is minimal.

besides government spend more money on making gears of war (not the the game) than green energy research

[starzoc00]

this is cool,however i hate the ocean bottom.all the weird fish and giant,gut u in an instant,creepy,and colassal squids n' fish freak me out

[yarrboots]

And they're all flying to Mars when we have this in our own waters. Silly astronauts.

[CALEiGH18]

uhm i dont think i understood wat was goin here..can someone explain?

[KurNorock]

ok.

They are pumping toxic levels of CO2 into the water to prove that toxic levels of CO2 is toxic to marine life.

They are doing this in an effort to prove CO2 production is bad even though the ocean could never have CO2 levels as high as what they are showing even if the entire atmosphere was composed of nothing but CO2.

[qwkdrw71]

uh... there is no global warming. In fact the planet is in a cooling cycle until 2014 (estimated of coarse) google: global warming fact or fiction I am no scientist (mechanical engineer), so I am not getting into a debate. I am just relaying the information.

[KurNorock]

I agree. There is no global warming. But I doubt you are a mechanical engineer either.

Of course it would just be a matter of course for you to understand what would lead me down that course of thought...

[MOTIVEONER]

ok?

[zoomanen]

we need CO2 if there is no CO2, the earth would colder about -32 degree, even we have sun ray. the problem is we've gotten too many of CO2 now...

[Sklobod]

so thaaaaaaaaats why we have global warming

[BurningCow11]

it looks realy fake for some reason

[Oni2K]

So you've seen the real thing many times before?

[BurningCow11]

well no but idk why it just looks fake im not saying it is it just looks like it

[kaferere]

This is a clip from the new John Travolta/Ted Danson movie, "Three Buckets and a Fish".

[sealion1962]

millions of years ago our atmosphere was loaded with hydrocarbons from the earths formation. Through many thousands of year, algae took in the hydrocarbons and died in a normal life process. The pockets of oil we drill for today are these deposits. We are reintroducing hydrocarbons back into the atmosphere and it is changing our environments back to Precambrian age environments. These tests you see are gathering results to prove this theory. Hope we're not too late,

[angelstarb]

what the hell is this sinces

[Bennyliz]

This looks really interesting, wish I new exactly what was going on :(

[frankinanki]

rofl...me to! haha!

[revengerste]

read the info.

[trav312]

the audio is great!

[Jamminredheaded]

I like the long descriptions of what's going on but continuing with the voice-over like in the macropinna video would be great!

I really enjoy watching videos from MBRI -I hope you guys continue posting them! I think it'd be really great to garner more attention for this kind of research!

[074749]

aneh banget lan gak mudeng

i think it's very amusing

[DrHMFIC]

I really appreciate you posting this highly-articulate, highly-informative video for obviously well-considered intentions. I really hadn't thought there was anything on YouTube for experiments that could beat the coke & mentos thing, so thank God this was here amongst the many copies of THAT boring crap!

[xbrndnx]

Where do i go to see our findings

[xbrndnx]

I mean your findings lol

[xtreme468]

kl lol
