Carbon Fiber Submarine Implosion: How Many Dives Can It Withstand?

How many dives / pressure cycles can a carbon fiber submarine / submersible / pressure vessel take? How fast does the material weaken by continuous trips to close to it’s crush depth / implosion pressure? We are going to find that out on this video. We made scale model of carbon fiber submarine with similar design and Titan from recent accident. Then we did multiple test dives on our deep sea chamber 10 000 000 and recorded the tests with Chronos 1.4 high speed camera to get maximum amount of data out them. The carbon fiber was just general use pipe and metal end caps were machined out of steel and then clued to the pipe with two component epoxy glue.
