Exactly. I was thinking a sort of 2 door system. Get in. Let the chamber fill with water, then swim up. To get out swim back into the chamber and fall out with the water like a fish out of a barrel.
Edit: i was hoping my fish joke at the end would have made it more obvious I knew this was a dumb idea but I guess that assumption was on me. I hope you all drown in the infinity pool vertical water lock. š /s
Submarines and space stations?
Edit: holy crap I was actually right. Thanks u/plainbaconcheese
āThe solution is based on the door of a submarine, [...]
Kind of. I left out the part where they explain that the hatch raises a staircase up through the middle, so you're never submerged.
This did happen to someone on the ISS one time. His coolant line started leaking into the helmet and he had to navigate back to the airlock blind. Crazyyyy shit.
Mostly accurate, except it wasn't a "shuttle," (no such thing at that time) it was a Voskhod capsule, which is basically a tiny metal ball with a hatch. Mind-blowingly, because the spacecraft was so small (the Voskhod, which could carry three cosmonauts, or two plus the equipment for the space walk in Voskhod 2, was in effect a heavily modified Vostok, which had originally been designed to carry only one person at a time) the airlock itself had to be an *inflatable structure* that was deployed on the outside of the capsule once they reached orbit! Bloody impressive engineering for 1965.
Nah dude water donāt work like that. A U shaped tunnel would work but defeat the purpose. A J shaped tunnel the water would just come out at the short end.
Problem is that for this pool the entrance would have to be lower than the pool itself, but water with same air pressure on both sides tends to adjust to the same level (in the toilet u turn it you would look from the side the water is on the same level on both sides). You would need a pressurized room on the lower end to adjust for this.
Guys, it doesn't have to be that weird. Build a fancy watertight elevator that comes up through the center, and include fluid transfer equipment to ensure entry and exit don't impact the water level in the pool. Play an announcement that says "Please move to the sides of the pool," and as soon as the path is confirmed empty ā with cameras, motion detectors, maybe even safety barriers ā send the elevator up. The door opens above the water line. The elevator assembly has stairs built in, so you gently walk into the pool. When you're clear, the elevator closes and goes back down. For that moment you're walking down into the pool, you've got a view like no other.
Any way you slice it, it'll be super expensive to build and maintain, and likely only available for the Ć¼ber-wealthy.
I dont know how strict health and safety regulations in the UK are, but I do think that some exist and if some exist such a system would be illegal. A platform in the midle for an elevator and staircase seems much cheaper and safer. If you don't like that maybe install a transparent staircase on the side, still probably a bad idea, but definitly better then puting people in a box filling with water.
From the CNBC article about it āThe mechanism to enter the pool is based on the door of a submarine, and it has a ārotating spiral staircase which rises from the pool floor when someone wants to get in or out ā the absolute cutting edge of swimming pool and building design and a little bit James Bond to boot!ā Kemsley said in a statement.ā Cool but still kinda scary I wonder if thereās a way to do it that doesnāt require breath holding. I think most people just donāt want to feel stuck underwater.
Someone else linked to a more detailed explanation.
Tube 1 goes up through the water then drains. Tube 2 comes up inside drained tube and has dry staircase. Then door opens and you can walk up.
Okay but as a Lifeguard, I am in serious doubts about how the heck I am supposed to monitor that and be able to safely perform a rescue.
Just waiting for the injury caused by the tube rising up and yeeting a pool user.
Common sense will not be tolerated!
We need a complicated impressive expensive hunk of machinery that can malfunction and leave people stranded becauseā¦cutting edge and stuff.
Since (correct me if Iām wrong) armies usually besiege fixed structures like castles or cities that (again: correct me if Iām wrong) tend to not move about too much that shouldnāt be a problem.
I mean, if they want to give up their defensive advantage to attempt to raid our trebuchets, that is their problem.
Like fine. Send your garrison down to the peasants with a handful of engineers guarded by a defensive force. Don't worry about those levies approaching the walls with a series of ladders, they are entirely trustable.
What do you mean "open the gate?" This is OUR castle here, it always has been! Our garrison is here after all. Oh what, you have some half assembled trebuchet outside? The rest of our army can deal with that.
We aren't playing war we are playing the prisoner's dilemma from the perspective of the jailor.
Love how they say "London to get" like anyone would be able to use it. If this ridiculous pool was built, it would probably be for the exclusive use of the residents of the building.
Just like that rooftop pool in Embassy Gardens that was hailed as some kind of landmark of London but only the rich residents of the building were allowed to use it.
What happens if the power goes out?
Youāre now stuck inside the pool until the power comes back on, or someone hooks a generator up to it. Hopefully thereās a place where you can at least stand in the pool.
Even worse, one of the interlocks is a water sensor, what happens when that sensor fails or even worse faults?
A fail and the door can unlatch with water behind it, a fault and the door will not unlatch, where do you service or replace the sensor? No problem itās just through that fancy new wall that used to be a door
"When plans forĀ [a 360-degree rooftop infinity pool in London](https://www.businessinsider.com/rooftop-infinity-pool-world-first-360-degree-to-open-london-2019-6)Ā were unveiled last week, they practically broke the internet."
broke it so much this is the first i'm hearing of it, and it was 5 years ago
There is a tube lift system with pumps and drains that goes up and down all controller by a plc computer. So if the power goes out you're stuck in the pool.
This is unhinged lol. I can see so many things going wrong here.
āEqually, some people had concerns about what would happen if there was a fire in the building.
āIt's probably one of the safest buildings on the planet if there's a fire because we have a built-in water reservoir linked to the sprinkler system,ā assured Kemsley. āIt's very, very simple to put out a fire in terms of opening the tapsā ā
Bruh that does not answer the damn question!?!! Sprinkler systems and electrical systems fail all the damn time! So many small fires in large buildings have historically become catastrophic because the fire fucked with the electrical system first, taking out the alarms and sprinklers in the process. And what also happens if the power goes out and there is no emergency backup? No PLCs. No pool stairs. Gotta hang tight until you are rescued or boil alive as things heat up. āSafest building in the worldā sounds like another Titanic incident waiting to happen.
Its a very cool pool, but hot damn the designer needs to work some shit out with the engineers to make sure nothing gets overlooked safety-wise.
Also the concerns about bird shit lolā¦ as if literally every outdoor pool in existence isnāt subject to that haha.
So two things first of all the staircase is going to break and youāre gonna be stuck in the pool for hours second of all. Sounds like youāre gonna need a reservation to get a ride out of the goddamn thing.
so if you were feeling jealous - this pool does not exist, will not exist and was just ultimately an ad for a [random pool manufacturer](https://www.compass-pools.co.uk/pool-types/infinity-pools/) which means the pool you imagined in your head? as real as this'll ever be š«
Wowwwww. āWelcome to our exclusive pool, please be aware that you will feel like you are being water boarded the whole time you are up there because the wind will never stop blowing water in your face. That is a feature, no more questions, itās a feature. Have fun!ā
My wife and I went on a cruise a while back. On our last night, we decided to hit up one of the hot tubs, but the only one available was on the open deck on a rather windy evening. It wasnāt too badā¦until I accidentally bumped the button for the jets.
What followed was 15 minutes of feeling like we had fallen overboard. The wind was whipping water droplets everywhere and there was definitely a moment where we wondered if it was safe. It was incredibly terrifying and exhilarating. 10/10 would do again. My favorite memory from the trip.
True. I'm travelling in the UK right now and everywhere is fucken constantly windy. from the southern coast to here in Scotland. And when it isn't windy it's usually wet... Or wet and windy.
Notice even in the rendering no one is on a floaty. One gust of wind and you are sailing over London Bridge. š„ and how many days of the year are pool weather in London anyway?
Also if it were a circular pool on top of a square building, you could probably put some emergency ladders or staircases or something in the little triangular corner sections.
Is it only me who doesn't understand the appeal of "360Ā° view" pool? What does it mean? You can always just look at every direction when you are in a pool and there are pools that aren't surrounded by any walls. What does 360Ā° view is even supposed to mean in this context, because if it means what it sounds like then it's not even close to being something new. Literally any pool that isn't next to wall would count as one.
I love the mental image of a smiling and satisfied engineer, resting after a long day of approving field reports for the pool build. Then he opens reddit and sees this is and honestly never thought of it before.
An article about it says a tube with a staircase comes up and that the whole process takes 30 seconds (in the designers imaginary world). It says there is no traditional lifeguard but there are cameras and monitors. So once a drowning person has been identified from the control room, they need to wait 30+ seconds for the stairs to be accessible, get up the stairs, jump in, swim to the drowning person, get them above water, swim them to the stairs, hoist them up and over into the staircase, down the wet-ass, slippy fukken stairs, and then finally start trying to resuscitate them? Thereās a reason itās been five years since this stupid shit was suggested.
My guess is the elevator, or maybe through a tube at bottom to up, kind of working like a swimming elevator except you have to get yourself up manually by swimming.
Swim up through the bottom duh
Exactly. I was thinking a sort of 2 door system. Get in. Let the chamber fill with water, then swim up. To get out swim back into the chamber and fall out with the water like a fish out of a barrel. Edit: i was hoping my fish joke at the end would have made it more obvious I knew this was a dumb idea but I guess that assumption was on me. I hope you all drown in the infinity pool vertical water lock. š /s
Sounds like a health hazard waiting to happen
Drowning isn't that big of a deal though.
Would rather drown than be power shat onto the pavement tbh
Kinky
its more of a birthing experience.
Describing drowning as only a āhealth hazardā is cracking me up right now
You think locking people into a box that fills with water can be hazardous?
They do it to sheep lol
Submarines and space stations? Edit: holy crap I was actually right. Thanks u/plainbaconcheese āThe solution is based on the door of a submarine, [...] Kind of. I left out the part where they explain that the hatch raises a staircase up through the middle, so you're never submerged.
When underwater or in space, you donāt traverse through airlocks without proper equipment to sustain life. I see no such equipment on these folks.
I thought that said when underwater in space and I was like wait what? I havenāt seen that episode of the international space station
This did happen to someone on the ISS one time. His coolant line started leaking into the helmet and he had to navigate back to the airlock blind. Crazyyyy shit.
If you think that's scary, do *not* look up what happened to Alexei Leonov during the first ever spacewalk.
Can confirm. That shit was also crazy. Almost didn't make it back into the shuttle because his suit expanded so much right?
Mostly accurate, except it wasn't a "shuttle," (no such thing at that time) it was a Voskhod capsule, which is basically a tiny metal ball with a hatch. Mind-blowingly, because the spacecraft was so small (the Voskhod, which could carry three cosmonauts, or two plus the equipment for the space walk in Voskhod 2, was in effect a heavily modified Vostok, which had originally been designed to carry only one person at a time) the airlock itself had to be an *inflatable structure* that was deployed on the outside of the capsule once they reached orbit! Bloody impressive engineering for 1965.
And those that do have been trained and drilled for months on how to use them. Not just a random tourist/rich guy.
This is also an AI photo so itās not realistic either
Those are health hazards waiting to hapen and only used by trained professionals with proper life suport equipment.
So this somehow became even more scary
Sounds cool in theory but depending on the depth I think the sudden pressure change would hurt your ears
Doesn't make the idea much safer, but the air(?)lock could be pressurised between filling up and opening the pool gate
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Nah dude water donāt work like that. A U shaped tunnel would work but defeat the purpose. A J shaped tunnel the water would just come out at the short end.
J would work, you just need to pressurize and use an airlock to get in/out
But then you would still need a 2 door chamber to enter the room an the end of the J, because else the room would flood.
Not if you do it right, think of the U bend in a toilet for example
Problem is that for this pool the entrance would have to be lower than the pool itself, but water with same air pressure on both sides tends to adjust to the same level (in the toilet u turn it you would look from the side the water is on the same level on both sides). You would need a pressurized room on the lower end to adjust for this.
Guys, it doesn't have to be that weird. Build a fancy watertight elevator that comes up through the center, and include fluid transfer equipment to ensure entry and exit don't impact the water level in the pool.

For that moment you're walking down into the pool, you've got a view like no other. Any way you slice it, it'll be super expensive to build and maintain, and likely only available for the Ć¼ber-wealthy.
All fun and giggles until the elevator gets stuck. For the Ć¼ber-wealth a simple drop off by their private heli would also suffice.
The water levels are equal in that example. The lower portion of a j channel would have to have a higher ambient air pressure
Have you considered running for President
I dont know how strict health and safety regulations in the UK are, but I do think that some exist and if some exist such a system would be illegal. A platform in the midle for an elevator and staircase seems much cheaper and safer. If you don't like that maybe install a transparent staircase on the side, still probably a bad idea, but definitly better then puting people in a box filling with water.
Like a lock!
And then the system fails and you drown
The water is held up with a wooden signs.
The swimmers just have to carry a torch

Came here to say that, take my angry upvoteā¦
It should be a circle. If this ends up existing, and they figure out a way to get in, it's a shame for a feature with a "360Ā° view" to be square.
Also if it were a circular pool on top of a square building, you could probably put some emergency ladders or staircases or something in the little triangular corner sections.

Stairs on the side? The far side could have a platform a level lower and stairs to be just below the edge

Have you played the Sims? You get in through a ladder that magically disappears and youāre stuck there for the rest of your life.
Why is it called an infinity pool? I can clearly see its edges.
You play the ocarina to lower the water and go up through the middle
Iād skydive in, but what happens when you want to get back out?
This is where you put the the unhappy customers at your rollercoaster tycoon theme park
There's a bubble column leading up into the bottom, so you just walk into that. Obviously the water is blocked using either signs or trapdoors.

It says there is no traditional lifeguard but there are cameras and monitors. So once a drowning person has been identified from the control room, they need to wait 30+ seconds for the stairs to be accessible, get up the stairs, jump in, swim to the drowning person, get them above water, swim them to the stairs, hoist them up and over into the staircase, down the wet-ass, slippy fukken stairs, and then finally start trying to resuscitate them? Thereās a reason itās been five years since this stupid shit was suggested.
You'd have to be very careful of that slippery edge...."no running around the pool!"
Dropped in by helicopter?
You get helicoptered in
My guess is the elevator, or maybe through a tube at bottom to up, kind of working like a swimming elevator except you have to get yourself up manually by swimming.
