What might have been in the GIUK

[Evil Flower]

I made this little scene to sharpen up on my color and composition skills.

amazing cgi reconstruction !

 

[Grey Havoc]

Very Nice!

 

[HeavyG]

Cool! B)

 

[Michel Van]

most wonderful work

GIUK stands for GIUK gap aka Greenland, Iceland and the United Kingdom gap

From what I see, you have a strong command of color. I like it.

 

[Firefly 2]

Stunning. Might be a cool cover for a M. Dimercurio novel.

Dramatic, but fire and smoke underwater??

Well you can see and hear laser blasts in space so why not?

I believe there are some mixes of fuel and oxidizer that will burn under water. The smoke and gases produced by those fires would rise to the surface.

 

[Jemiba]

Explosives and propellants actually are made to burn without using external oxygen. You simply can test
by throwing a firecracker into the water. My son did so last New Years Eve and it really went off under
the surface, with a small cloud of smoke coming up !

 

[AAAdrone]

Exactly. The oxidizer is internal in typical propellants so they should still combust violently underwater. It is for this same reason that firearms can work in space.

Caption from the video: "Sparklers contain oxidizers. As a result, they are able to burn even when they are placed in an environment where oxygen is absent.

Oxygen for the reaction is provided by the oxidizers found in the sparklers.

Do NOT try this at home. Sparklers and fireworks cause too many injuries already!"

Wouldn't have worked some years ago, as the fuses didn't take too friendly being
exposed to humidity.

In the 1960s, all it took to find waterproof fireworks fuse was a look in the classified advertisements of magazines that boys and young men would read behind their schoolbooks in class like Popular Science and Mechanics Illustrated. Now it is a click away at Amazon.

As a kid in the late 70s it was a walk to the hobbyshop for waterproof fuse. 12ft for a buck or two.

Okay, its not that realistic, but it looks good!

Just a note: fire under water is not any problem, but the shape of the fire and smoke is different, more compact with a lot of air bubbles from boilled water.

There is video footage out there shot from an ROV of underwater volcanic activity that would probably be good reference material for stuff like this.

"That just raises further questions!"
