Parts of this pedal-powered submarine appear made of wood

It has made me think about what I could do in the shed.

That is one way to smuggle immigrants into the UK :-)

[F Murtz]

Two at a time if you can train them.

[dennis]

Someone needs to tell them that peddle powered subs have already been done and long gone, as in many decades.

It looks the part but £100,000. Utter madness.

[Nightjar]

You sell them the outside seats.

[Vir Campestris]

They're mad.

But looking at their web site - the wooden bits are only fairings, not pressure hull.

[TimW]

You are right for sure. Fairings full of water.

Ah that is the turbo charge feature I'd imagine...:-) Brian

[Fredxxx]

They can do the pedalling.

[harry]

A hundred meters deep?? That sounds unlikely.

[Chris Hogg]

Local SW News at 18.15 today reported that they've given up after less than a day, blaming problems with their sonar and carbon monoxide detected inside the sub. Carbon Monoxide? Where's that coming from then?

[Syd Rumpo]

Their disposable barbecue?

I had also thought that and assumed it was a typical journalistic error.

10m per atmosphere, 100m would be 150lb/in^2

Not the easiest thing to test. Perhaps drop below a boat to 150m as a proof test and see what comes back up?

They may also be confused about the depth of the English Channel, which is in the order of 100m.

[Fredxxx]

Perhaps they had a secret petrol engine in there after all?

[Chris Hogg]

Is there any CO in farts?
