	The Bathysphere Adventures
		The first Bathysphere expedition would be jointly sponsored by (Ultimately Beebe's employer) The New York Zoological Society and The National Geographic Society.
		The new and improved Bathysphere was small and light enough for the Ready, and the winches located in Bermuda.
		The Bathysphere, containing its two first living voyagers, was gently hoisted by the ship's boom which was raised and lowered with the winch.

	Bathysphere - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A bathysphere is a spherical deep-sea diving submersible which is lowered into bodies of water with a cable.
		Bathyspheres have a variety of uses, usually including the study of underwater life.
		The first bathysphere was built by Otis Barton and William Beebe in 1930.

	Inventor of the Week: Archive
		A bathysphere is a hollow, steel sphere with very thick walls made to maintain a reliable pressurization at depths where diving unaided is not possible.
		The interior of the bathysphere was rather small and cramped, with only a light and telephone, oxygen tanks, and chemicals soda lime to absorb carbon dioxide and calcium chloride to absorb moisture.
		In 1932, the pair tested a larger bathysphere off the coast of Nonsuch Island, Bermuda, where they were successfully submerged 3,028 feet and set a world record that stood for 15 years, until Barton created a vessel called a Benthoscope in 1949, which allowed submersion to a depth of 4,500 feet.

	People Under the Sea: Submersibles - 1900-1960
		Three features that distinguish a submersible from a submarine are its ability to be transported from research spot to research spot, to be launched and easily retrieved from a mother ship and to be operated economically by research crews.
		The bathysphere was built for a very specific and functional purpose: its inventor, William Beebe, needed a way to study the inhabitants of the ocean's deep.
		Because of the cramped nature of the bathysphere, 3 1/2 hour dives were about as long as the people inside could tolerate.

	Submersible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many submersibles operate on a "tether" or "umbilical", remaining connected to a tender (a submarine, surface vessel or platform).
		A bathysphere is a type of submersible which lacks any self-propulsion.
		A predecessor of the bathysphere, the diving bell, consisted of a chamber, with an open bottom, lowered into the water.

		From 1,250 to 1,300 feet the bathysphere passed through an empty "transparency" of water, devoid of life, which only heightened Beebe's discomfort as he sat, chilled to the bone, in the clammy sphere.
		The bathysphere's primary mission was to observe marine life in the open ocean, while suspended between surface and bottom.
		In the heyday of his career, he was convinced that scores of bathyspheres would soon be diving throughout the world, producing a burst of knowledge about the global distribution of marine life, in three dimensions.

		Bathysphere was set up by three young men from Leicester’s music scene - Stuart Smith, Steve Gibbs and Chris Cousin - in 1998.

		Bathysphere says the Grants for the arts award has helped significantly.

		Twice during unmanned testing, the bathysphere rose with a hull full of sea water.
		The inventor of the Bathyscaphe, the sucessor of the Bathysphere, commented that a submarine without the ability to manoveur under its own power was a death trap.
		Had the single cable suspending the Bathysphere broken under the strain of 3 000 feet of water, all occupants would have perished.

	bathysphere - Definitions from Dictionary.com
		A hollow, spherical steel diving chamber in which people are lowered by cable from a surface vessel to explore the ocean depths.
		In 1934 a bathysphere carrying William Beebe and an associate reached a record depth of over 923 m (3,028 ft).
		Because space in the bathysphere is cramped, dives longer than three-and-a-half hours are intolerable, and it was eventually supplanted by the bathyscaphe.

	How Things Work - Question 1481
		In this case, the upward buoyant force on the bathysphere is equal in amount to the weight of the water it displaces.
		Since the bathysphere is essentially incompressible, it always displaces the same volume of water.
		That's why the bathysphere experiences a constant upward force on it due to the surrounding water.

		In June 1930, the bathysphere, along with Beebe, Barton, and a team of 26 assistants was floated out on a huge barge.
		Connecting the bathysphere to the barge was a 3,500-foot steel cable, almost an inch thick.
		A solid rubber hose, carrying telephone wires and electricity for lights, provided those within the bathysphere their only contact with the outside world.

		Because pressure increases by 14.7 pounds per square inch for every 33 feet in depth, the observation platform had to be strong, compact, and round, to distribute the pressure evenly.
		Five days later Bathysphere went down to 1,426 feet, and on August 15, 1934, reached 3,028 feet, the extreme limit of the tether.
		The last dives in the Bathysphere were completed in 1934, and comparable depths were not attained until after World War II, when August Picard developed the first self-propelled bathyscaph ("deep boat"), Trieste.

		The primary purpose of the bathysphere was to explore rather than to set records.
		But by this time efforts led by Swiss physicist Auguste Piccard were being made to develop the successor to the bathysphere, the self-propelled bathyscaphe.
		The bathysphere was limited to vertical travel and was constantly dependent on its umbilical connection to its surface support ship.

		The shell of the bathysphere was formed using techniques that would have been familiar to the men who cast medieval church bells.
		The bathysphere was tethered, like a heavy watch on a very long chain, to a ship whose winch was powered by two coal-fired steam engines.
		On that August day, the bathysphere had been lowered nearly to the end of more than a half mile of cable, and there was a real question as to whether the winch drum could withstand the pressure of lifting both cable and bathysphere.

		William Beebe and Otis Barton established a new "low" for personal deep-sea exploration when their bathysphere descended to a depth of 3,028 feet beneath the surface of the sea off the shores of Bermuda on Wednesday, Aug. 15.
		With this "deep down divin'est" record, exceeding the half-mile dive they had set as their goal, the two men announced themselves as content.

	History of Diving: Alexander the Great and the bathysphere
		This reinforced spherical deep-sea chamber in which people are lowered by a cable to study the ocean and marine life was invented and named by American scientist and author William Beebee in 1930.
		One day, when I was writing the name of a deep-sea fish—Bathytroctes— the appropriateness of the Greek prefix occurred to me; I coined the word Bathysphere, and the name has stuck." The Greek prefix bathy is so appropriate because it means "deep"; sphere, also from the Greek, is self-explanatory.
		The beginnings of the diving bell are primitive but functional devices, containers such as buckets or cauldrons.

		The sensational exploits of Beebe, Barton and the bathysphere kept Americans on the edge of their seats in the 1930's, and, as Brad Matsen proves in "Descent," they can still deliver a thrill.
		Matsen pulls himself together for the bathysphere descents, which are hard to beat for stomach-churning tension, and he vividly evokes the strange underwater universe visible through the bathysphere's six-inch quartz windows.
		It was, perhaps, a turning point when a seasick Barton vomited in the bathysphere at the beginning of the NBC dive.

		The bathysphere was the first modern system designed for the purpose of deep-sea exploration.
		Developed by American naturalist William Beebe and engineer Otis Barton in the early 1930s, it consisted of a steel sphere with windows of fused quartz and equipped with searchlights, an oxygen supply, and a telephone.
		The deepest descent made by Beebe and Barton, in 1934, was to 923 m (3,028 ft).
