Thread Name: Can you really raise a ship with hot air
Subject: RE: Can you really raise a ship with hot air
Larry:
You don't need hot air to raise a sunken vessel!! Any air will serve. The reason hot air "raises" things (like baloons) on land is because it is displaced by colder air. Under water ANY air will be displaced by water.
