First video of UC3 Nautilus diving

[McBeck]

Finally I found a video of her first dive.

http://ing.dk/artikel/92613?highlight=nautilus

Translation from danish:
00:00-00:10
The crew climbs onboard to the Nautilus.
Today the homebuild submarine will go under water for the first time.

00:16-00:19
Speaker: The submarines skipper, gives the last security briefings

00:31-00:39
Speaker: The ballast tanks are blow for the first dive of the day, that a camera crew for National Geographic also has come to cover, that’s why Peter talks in English

00:45-00:53
Speaker: Nice and slow, Nautilus seeks her natural element, but not everything goes as planned.

00:54-01:12
Peter: Reports! Whats happening?
Others: We listing now…more to the stern. Our angle has doubled.
Peter: No..it's not that much

01:15-01:19
Speaker: So there needs to be pumped extra water into the forward ballast tanks, but it doesn’t go as fast as Peter Madsen had hoped

01:21-01:24
Claus: It takes some time
Peter: It takes a half %¤# hour!

01:30-01:38
Claus: I will tell you when I see something happening
Peter: Yes, please report
Claus: And nothing has happened

01:39-02:15
Speaker: Here she surfaces from the depth again. The disaster did not happen and Peter has an idea of how the balance problem can be solved.

Peter: We have just surfaced from the first dive with the Nautilus. And skipper here is getting an orange. Everything went well, but vessel is tight, but we have a trim problem along the vessel. The vessel is heavier in the stern than the bow and it doesn’t take much for that to happen….only 500kg. Because of this we will have to move the vessels point of gravity…we cant do that now, but we can simulate it by moving all of the crew into the control room.

02:19-02-23
Speaker: Now it's time for the day's and world history’s second dive.

02:40-02:42
Speaker: Its not routine yet!

02:50-02:57
Speaker: Again the bow is higher. And the Peter's alternative plan has to start.

03:18-03:20
Speaker: Also us journalists, will have to act as deadweight.

04:11-04:22
Speaker: And then Peter would to ascend fast.
Peter: I will go up level and then we will do the final bit.
Speaker: Also to give the people on the surface a surprise.
Peter: Blowing for and aft!

04:28-04:32
Peter: Oops, we surfaces with the stern first…

04:44-05:05
Peter: For a new ship and for the first dive it went very well. We have to move some ballast for it to act like it should and we will need to finish it with its sensors, its periscope, hydrophone and stuff like that, so it can sail unassisted.
Speaker: Peter Madsen and his crew estimates that she will be fully operational by spring 2009.

Its in Danish, but you get the idea.
I saw her diving 2 days ago and it was a much smoother ride :)

[Onkel Neal]

Cool. I like how Peter toasted with Coca-Cola :D

[McBeck]

Cool. I like how Peter toasted with Coca-Cola :DYeah...he doesnt drink beer....Im not I can trust a man that doesnt drink beer :hmm:

[McBeck]

I will add subtitles, but I dont have the software to do that....anybody know of any free software that can do this?

[Konovalov]

Nice video and a great achievement even if it was celebrated with a can of Coca Cola. :up: :up:

How many people were down in there during the test?

[Oberon]

Brilliant vid and congrats all round! :up:

Good to see she trimmed out alright after the first couple of mishaps :rock:

[Task Force]

Nice sub.:D Glad to see all went well (other than the trimming issue):up:

[Sailor Steve]

He was calmer than Der Alte, but he still said "All hands forward!"

Cool. I like how Peter toasted with Coca-Cola :D
I think Coke should throw some money their way and make a commercial:

"When the Danish privately-built submarine Nautilus made her first test dive...", then show that video.

[Morts]

Nice !:up: :rock:

[McBeck]

Nice video and a great achievement even if it was celebrated with a can of Coca Cola. :up: :up:

How many people were down in there during the test?
There were 6 people in there during the test.

[Reece]

Great stuff McBeck! good to see it passed what would have to be the main test,:yep: I assume no leaks!!!:lol: Any other inspections, trials, tests etc before she is classified as sea worthy?:D

[McBeck]

Great stuff McBeck! good to see it passed what would have to be the main test,:yep: I assume no leaks!!!:lol: Any other inspections, trials, tests etc before she is classified as sea worthy?:DThere were 2 minor leaks. One from the control to the main ballast tank, but that we because there was a missing plug.
The second was from the driveshaft, because it needed to be tightened.
Both are fixed now.

[TarJak]

Great stuff. Hope I can make it over to Denmark next year to see her in person.:up:

[Schöneboom]

Excellent! Congratulations! All you need now are a few torpedo tubes in the bow to balance out your boat! :up:

[PeriscopeDepth]

Very cool!

PD

[TarJak]

Looking at this anyone else thinking about building there own sub?

[Task Force]

Id love to have my own sub. But I dont have the money.

[Jimbuna]

Here....don't go spending it all at once.

:rotfl::rotfl:That would have taken some time to do Jim, you seem to be experienced at making money, could this be a part time job when your not being a policeman? Damn good cover!:yep:

Hi

Im glad you enjoyed the trip. Were you familiar with Subsim before the trip?

[WilhelmSchulz.]

Verry Nice. How deep do you think it can go? I notcied the depth guage goes to 160 meters.

[Dirty Dee]

he said the calculated crush depth is 500m, but they will only regularly dive to 100m for safety reasons

[MrYenko]

he said the calculated crush depth is 500m, but they will only regularly dive to 100m for safety reasons

"Only" 300 ft, in a private Diesel/Electric submarine? (Or is it gas/electric? I'd love to see a full spec sheet...)

I really feel terrible for the guy... Only 300ft is pathetic... :up:

That's a hell of an achievement, keep the vids coming. :yep:

[V.C. Sniper]

Wow 500m?

Thats hella deep for a privately built sub!

[bottomcrawler]

Can't get the vid to play at all on my computer. Any other locations I can try?

Oops, old thread... :D

[r.nayyal]

Finally I found a video of her first dive.

You may be better of PMing McBeck in case he misses this thread's resurgence. :salute:

[McBeck]

You may be better of PMing McBeck in case he misses this thread's resurgence. :salute:
No problem I found it um I will see what I can do for you but Peter is very busy these days. He is building his face rockets oh that should be space rockets.
