Below is a list of links showing the development of various parts of the sub. Click on a title to read more and view the gallery.
The Work Station
Details the work put into building both the wooden and steel work station. |

Pressure Hull
The pressure hull is what keeps the external water pressure from squashing the air inside where the pilot is.

Conning Tower
The conning tower is where the pilot will sit and be able to look out. It will also have the hatch.

|
Trim Tanks
The trim tanks are for fine tuning the craft underwater so it can be kept level and neutrally buoyant.
|
|
Ballast Tanks
The ballast tanks are the main tanks for achieving neutral buoyancy.

Rudder and Propulsion
An electric submersible motor is used for propulsion, and the whole motor is pivoted about its middle to act as a rudder.
|
|
Elevators
The elevators are at the rear of the sub and are level with the motor. They are a secondary set of diving planes like that which are on the conning tower.
