Abstract

It is quite easy to make a version of the well known Cartesian diver experiment that uses two immiscible liquids. This allows students to test their knowledge of density and pressure in explaining the diver’s behaviour. Construction details are presented here together with a mathematical model to explain the observations. © 2004 IOP Publishing Ltd.
