That's what I used to think too Charles. Sprinkler yes, bubbles no. A diver told me the truth. Bubbles used primarily during training for when things go wrong. It hurts less.
EDIT: Galu beat me to it.

Giga is always decimal, in this case 1GB = 10^9 bytes. The binary multiple 2^10 is 1024 has the prefix Kibi.., and multiples are Mebi.., Gibi... Examples are 1024 bits = 1Kibit (long form 1 kibibit), 1024 Kibits = 1 Mibit (long form 1 mebibit), 1024 Mibits = 1 Gibit (long form 1 gibibit), etc.
So if you buy a pendrive of 64GB capacity, it turns out it has less capacity in bytes than you expect...
The unit for voltage is named after Alessandro Volta, and the symbol is V. The German contributed much to the theory of electricity, and called it "Unterschied" (difference), hence the other frequently used symbol U.
But the bubbles make the diver fall deeper, duzn‘t it?
Btw, there was a video floating around some time ago (2016 olympiade?) of a olympic jump from way back in time (1960 or so), which was just a totally perfect, simple jump. 2^24 more elegant than nowadays‘ flipflopping down…

I've looked it up! 😀
The safety precautions include minimum and maximum pool depths for optimum water pressure.
The diving well for Olympic diving must be a minimum of 5m deep. This allows it to be used for the 10m platform diving competition and the 3m springboard competition.
It is right. Both are done but the official rule is as Galu describes. In my school we learnt writing with capital. Same with writing 1.5V or 1.5 V…. Both being better than 1.5v or 1.5 v

I'm sure, Jan.
As with every SI unit named for a person, its symbol starts with an upper case letter (Hz), but when written in full it follows the rules for capitalisation of a common noun; i.e., "hertz" becomes capitalised at the beginning of a sentence and in titles, but is otherwise in lower case.
Fair enough.
The rule book only stipulates for competitions so they could be used differently during training.
Bubble machines are allowed during competition but 'the machine should only be used for this purpose if it creates sufficient water agitation when working with very low pressure; otherwise a horizontal water sprinkler system shall be used.'
So in languages like German in which common nouns are always capitalized the Hertz too should be capitalized, yes?
Blow low pressure bubbles or capitalize Hertz?
Being German it feels wrong not to capitalize it.

Jan, I too am surprised. Even if correct, I think respect is due so I may just have to keep breaking the 'rule'.
Okay, so after an incredibly involved 3 minute discovery session, I will bow to those who knew more. Even when the subject contains a proper noun, in this case a persons name, it is irrelevant and the result is a common noun.
Thank you fellas, that research was exhausting. Like Jan and others, I found it really hert.
