It seems like it would be extremely simple to set up a compact airbag system on a ship that would essentially make it impossible to sink even with a massive hull breach. It seems like this could be done easily on small boats to large ships and everything in between. Any ideas why something like this isn't being used? I would have a hard time believing I'm the first person to think of this. They even use large inflatable air bags to raise sunken ships.

Just fill the cargo hold with cork, this problem was already solved.

smarter people than you and I have already thought that out.

yeah why dont we have a back-up ship inside of it and just speed away mane

Ummmm

Where would you put the air?

[–] 1 pt

Lots of Air compressors that rapidly inflate the bags

Why don't they just make ships full of air?

The ship is already full of air. Ships are not vacuum chambers.

You could use cylinders of compressed air or no problem

Because of the space needed and weight of the bags + a massive high powered compression system, There wouldnt be much room left inside the ship, You ever seem the size and weight of a circus tent folded up?. Also if the ship had a tear in its hull theres always the possibility the damaged hull could tear the inflatables bags. The military experimented with ice and sawdust mixture to repair and even build ships with, The mixture is stronger than concrete, Quite a few videos on it over at youtube if it perks your interest.

If they were integral then the cost of boats would go up more than the risk of sinking is worth I would guess. Probably wouldn't sell well. But an add on system for high risk boats perhaps may have a niche.

Because that would be STUPID and expensive.

That's really all you have to say? Care to elaborate about the stupid part or will that hurt your brain too much?

All that is needed. Thing is SMART peoples' time is VALUABLE. dragging idiots to where they SHOULD be able to get on their own, does NOTHING but WASTE humanities LIMITED resources on NIGGERS that will NEVER do ANYTHING useful. In the Bible they call it, PEARLS before SWINE.
