Abstract:
The patent relates to a device for generating gas at a constant rate for raising a water profiler during measurement of different parameters of the sea. The device is of a specific construction indluding a housing with end caps. LiH is placed into the housing and capped. A blasting cap ruptures one end cap permitting water to enter the housing. The water mixed with the LiH generates hydrogen gas and LiOH which provides lift for a profiler. A plurality of the gas generators are assembled onto a profiler for causing the profiler to ascend as many times as the number of devices carried by the profiler.
