  • BUOYANCY SYSTEM FOR AN UNDERWATER DEVICE AND ASSOCIATED METHODS FOR OPERATING THE SAME
    Publication number: 20100294192
    Abstract: A buoyancy system includes a chamber having a volume associated therewith, and bladders within the volume of the chamber. Each bladder contains a clathrate mixture in a liquid state. The chamber includes an opening to allow surrounding water to circulate within the volume and contact the bladders. As the chamber is submerged in the surrounding water, the bladders expand based on the clathrate mixture changing from the liquid state to a solid state. This changes buoyancy by allowing less water to circulate within the volume of the chamber.
