What are hyperbaric chambers used for? Ive heard they can help reduce the aging proces and used for medical?
Ive heard they can help reduce the aging process. Is that true or is that just bull? And how are they used for medical reasons? I think i heard they are used like when someone gets burned really bad. Or i dont know something like that.
NO! i am not looking to buy one so please dont say it or any other stupid thing like that. I’m just wonderign what they are for. I tried searching them on Wikipedia but it wouldn’t work.

What is the name of the Ocean Spirit cruise ship now?
She was a ferry ship before the name "Ocean Spirit." Her home port was St. Petersburg, FL for about a year. Also served as a ship for divers and had a hyperbaric chamber(s) for diver’s who may have had the bends.
The last name listed at-

is "The Empress" (1993-2005)
Do horses really turn into glue automatically when they die?
I read in a vlog by the Elmer’s CEO that they convert dead horses into glue in some sort of hyperbaric chamber. Is this true, yall?
they actually scrape off the fat under the hide and mix it with lye and other chemicals to make a glue they still make a horse glue but it is mainly used for making guitars and violins and other stringed wood instrument
The general process is to take the hooves of ungulates and break them into small chunks and then boil them in water until all the hoof material has been liquefied. An acid (lye was used) is then added to create a thick gel. The resultant product is then cooled and allowed to harden.
where are there hyperbaric chambers in Ontario?

What are some specific mechanisms by which oxygen can be damaging to humans? What is oxygen toxicity?
Recently, a hyperbaric chamber became available for me to use. I suffer from the lingering effects of an anoxic brain injury and have read some literature on the benefits/ limitations of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. I plan to give the chamber a try, but wonder what risk I am taking. Also, I hope to learn about the damage chemical/biological that is possible with oxygen concentrations > atmospheric. Thanks to anyone who is both qualified and willing to answer my question.
it goes like this.
when u breathe in oxygen, ur blood becomes slightly acidic, when u breathe out ur blod becomes slightly basic (as in a base)
hope that helped…

Hyperbaric oxygenation?
One of the treatments for gangrene and "The bends" is hyperbaric oxygenation. This occur in a chamber in which oxygen is used at higher than normal pressures. How many grams of oxygen are required to fill 3.00 X 10^3 liter hyperbaric chamber at a pressure of 250 cm Hg and at 68 F? If the same quantity of oxygen was pumped back into a gas cylinder at a pressure of 200 atm. and at 75K, what would the volume be?
This is a simple ideal gas problem; just get the units right.
PV=nRT; so n=PV/RT.
Skipping the conversions,
P = 250 cm Hg = 3.29 atm
V = 3000 L
R = 0.0821 L-atm/K-mole
T = 293.15 K
So, n = 410.01 moles by the equation above
Since O2 has 32 g/mole molecular mass, there are 410*32 = 13,123 g (or 13.1 Kg) of O2 in the chamber.
The second question is tricky. The boiling point of O2 is 90K, so the O2 in the cylinder would be a liquid. Assuming the density of liquid O2 is 1g/cc (an educated guess), the final volume would be 13 L or so.
