What is a water implosion and how does it happen?
High-pressure submarine implosion happens when a submarine's (or submersibles) hull succumbs to the intense external water pressure at great depths. As the submarine descends deeper into the water, the pressure exerted on the hull increases significantly. If the hull is not strong enough to withstand this immense pressure, it can collapse inward, causing an implosion.
This implosion can be sudden and catastrophic, resulting in the destruction of the submarine and potential loss of life. The greater the depth of the vessel at the time of the accident the more violent the event will be.
High-pressure submarine implosions highlight the importance of designing submarines with robust hull structures capable of withstanding the extreme pressures encountered in deep-sea environments.
What happens to the human body in the deep ocean of it is not exposed to implosion forces? That’s a question we will answer in another video.
