home-made submarine

Akilleùs · 12-29-11, 03:56 AM

I'd like to build a submarine in my car box, it will be propulsed by an electric engine. It's not impossible to do, but it's very hard. A chinese man have built one few years ago, and i hope to do it better. For now it's only a project on paper... For now.

Same here, and same still on paper

Been doing some theoretical work on it during my more boring times and have (theoreticly) solved some questions on boyancy and balasts.
I'll resolve engineering problems when I encounter them, which is not going to be so soon, since I don't have the resources (€€€€) to begin a project of this size.

Maybe we can start a Subsim fund raising event and we'll build a working replica of a type VII

it can be a very large project of many people, why not? unfortunately, this project will cost veeeeery much money, and i'm in italy. I found 2 people who want to start to built it.

I will do you a favor and call a doctor...

Why not go to Laboe and take the Type VII C (U 995) lying there from the shore into the water again? It'll cost you nothing but some manpower and a couple of minutes without being seen by anyone

. I'd be the first one to come over there and help...

I don't think he needs one, Italians are the healthiest nation in the world.

Plus, he wouldn't be the first one to make a submarine in his backyard. It's a complicated design based on simple principles.

Make sure to buy one of these babies.

Just do what Cuba, Iran and Vietnam have done: Buy one from North Korea.
