Abstract

In the deep sea, truely hydrostatic pressure is produced in a very large area. This pressure may be used as natural resources. By utilizing these resources, very high pressures can be generated using a 6–8 type split-sphere high pressure apparatus. A preliminary experiment to generate very high pressure was undertaken in the deep sea at a depth of about 1000 m. Pressures of about 8.5 GPa were generated in the central part of the high pressure apparatus.
