Neutral buoyancy occurs when an object's average density is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed, resulting in the buoyant force balancing the force of gravity that would otherwise cause the object to sink (if the body's density is greater than the density of the fluid in which it is immersed) or rise (if it is less).
Float chamber (left) of an updraught carburettor, showing the float (4) and valve (5). A float chamber is a device for automatically regulating the supply of a liquid to a system. It is most typically found in the carburettor of an internal combustion engine , where it automatically meters the fuel supply to the engine.
Bathyscaphe Trieste before its only dive into the Mariana Trench The Trieste in 1958. A bathyscaphe (/ ˈ b æ θ ɪ ˌ s k eɪ f,-ˌ s k æ f /) is a free-diving, self-propelled deep-sea submersible, consisting of a crew cabin similar to a Bathysphere, but suspended below a float rather than from a surface cable, as in the classic Bathysphere design.
Petrol engines often use simple fuel systems consisting of a float-type carburetor with a fuel tank located above it (so that the fuel is delivered by gravity, avoiding the need for a fuel pump). Sometimes, the fuel tank is located below the carburetor and fuel is delivered using engine vacuum or crankcase pressure pulsations.

Emergency Flotation Systems (EFS) are emergency systems installed on larger commercial and military helicopters in order to prevent the airframe sinking in the event of a crash landing on water.
The win improved the Rose's record to 2-4, with eight games left to play in a season that runs through mid-March. Reese was one of many notable names to sign up for Unrivaled in its inaugural ...
