flottörer

Flottörer, also known as floats or buoys, are devices designed to float on the surface of a liquid, typically water. They are used for a variety of purposes, including marking underwater hazards, indicating water depth, and providing a stable platform for fishing or other activities. Flottörer can be made from a wide range of materials, such as hollow plastic, wood, or cork, depending on their intended application and the environment in which they will be used. The buoyancy of a flottör is determined by its volume and the density of the material it is made from, relative to the density of the liquid. Larger or less dense objects will displace more water, thus providing greater buoyant force. In scientific contexts, flottörer can be employed in experiments to study water currents or to measure the rate of evaporation. They are also commonly found in recreational settings, serving as markers for swimming areas or as part of water sports equipment. The design of a flottör can vary significantly, from simple spherical shapes to more complex structures with lights or signaling devices.
