Students of grade III American private submarine 2,000 USD

The personal submarine is made of water pipes with floating parts from a recycled large street light bulb, but according to 18-year-old inventor Justin Beckerman, it can dive deep at a distance of 30 feet (11.6m) and has there are three successful diving attempts.

The Nautilus ship was built by Beckerman in just six months at a cost of $ 2,000, at the same time as the homework. 'From the age of 2, he tinkered with objects,' says Justin's mother, Jess Beckerman.

The personal submarine is a ballast to ensure deep diving and balancing, air hose to transfer oxygen from the water down to divers, and a range of emergency equipment such as backup batteries, bright lights, sirens and a pump to prevent water from entering the ship. The submarine can dive for up to two hours and travel at 800 meters per hour.

Beckerman said he intended to use the submarine 'to explore the lake, watch the fish and hope to find some history, like the old-fashioned cannons'. From a young age, Beckerman liked tinkering with strange objects. Your website, justinbeckerman.com, brings lots of interesting information about this process.

The equipment that he uses for his inventions is often a recycling item thrown away at home and friends. The Nautilus has pressure gauges from a discarded restaurant soda stream. Two main batteries are taken from children 's cars.

In addition to the submarine, Beckerman is proud of another building, his tree fortress, where TVs, wall-mounted radio, desk computers, air conditioners, shelves and flashing lights are available.'Only a refrigerator and a bathroom are missing and can live here , ' Beckerman said.

To achieve this Nautilus, Beckerman experienced three previous tests with varying degrees of success. The third submarine dived 1.5m, had frames from plastic and duct tape, so it was not sure. Push the ship are two motorcycle engines and two 12 Volt batteries.
