@achavez200 It doesn't. He used the plastic kinds as well. The only problem is that the plastics are too light so he has to put weights on it. But glass doesn't have that problem so you can just drop those in without puting weights.
did this in 8th grade science class. we had to make it ourselves with no instruction at all. we even had to write our own lab sheet. half the class failed.i did not. we had to use a pipet, 2 paperclips, a rubber band, and clay.

Could you explain in easily understandable language how does the Cartesian Diver work? I thought that it happens because when you apply pressure on the bottle, water moves into the diver & also compresses the air in it. Both of these things cause the diver to become heavier than water and that is why the diver sinks. And then when you don't apply pressure, the air returns to the normal condition in the diver and rises up.
I don't understand... There is a clip on youtube with a guy doing this with a small bag of ketchup, and I've also seen it with the heads of matches, and they all behave the same. Are you sure this isn't just a matter of pressure? I mean, the water can't get into the ketchup bag.
In the 70's I got a "Sea Diver" toy, same principle but it had little hooks to pick various objects up on the bottom. Thanks for reviving pleasant memories.
Definitely doesn't work by forcing water into whatever the bobber is.. It has to do with the increased pressure in the bottle. Whatever gas is inside the floating thing is affected because it's less dense than the water. When you squeeze the bottle, the water puts more pressure on the gas and makes it sink. I'm kind of starting to think this guy doesn't really know much of anything.
A really cheap method is that some sauce packets [ketchup, mustard, honey, etc.] will do this, the difficulty is that some don't and you can waste some time finding one that works.

You can still find the glass eyedroppers in some pharmacies. I have a set I bought in the baby section.

@ScumbagKorain the bead of air inside of the ketchup bag compresses when you squeeze the bottle and sinks let go and it floats up.

@J03Y13 watch the eyedropper closely and you will see the amount of water inside increasing when you squeeze the bottle.
