FAUX FISH HUMAN POWERED SWIMMING SUBMARINE UNDERWATER AT THE INTERNATIONAL SUBMARINE RACE

[DerVampyrEngel]

That would work better I think with a jet boat pump but might have to make the craft bigger for that , still wish I could do that , brilliant

[tabarich1]

the tail its not moving correctly , you have to puch water whit the flata en , and you are puchin whit de last union .

[SavageArms357]

They went to all the effort to build that....And yet some guy with a couple of cheap fins can do the same thing xD

[volikoto]

very impractical.... they should have use a propeller instead of a wiggling tail....

We are going too need a bigger tackle box.

A nice & fantastic idea for spoiled kids (men) who have some money to burn.

But not a real innovation since the mechanic is using to much of human power(ered) air from the driver's breathing tanks...

made to undulate electrically . pressurized

are they at the bottom of the ocean are a huge swimming pool =o

A good way to get eaten by something.

A truly horrible fate D:

[srofficial06]

amazing absolutely amazing . I'd love to build one of these and have thought about doing so one day . Consider, if you will , the discus or angelfish as a model perhaps ?Wherein virtually the whole boat is one big " sail" as it were ? The angel fishes tail also undulates up and down and the side to side movement is very much reduced yet he can move fairly quickly through the water when he wants to ?

[blackmantis86]

impressive, but It looks to me that the guy inside is using a lot of energy just got get it moving at the speed he was,No doubt he could swim faster that he was going.I think once you master the tail you should be golden.

[deezynar]

That is very cool. I would think of trying a tail that mimicks a speedy fish. Try a rigid tail of composite material that is 1/4 the length but twice the height as the one you are using here. Give it an airfoil section. Mount it with a rubber hinge to give the needed flex. I'd think about enlarging the dorsal fin a bit and installing a ventral fin. Reduce friction loss by overlapping the the tail sections front to back. Just some thoughts. Keep after it and have fun.

I think the tail needs to deflect more to side to side.. but it looks great, I'm impressed
