3 Men on A Submersive Boat and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea!

3 Men on a Boat

and a Remote key Transmitter

and a GPS sensor

and a Boat that can Dive into water and Move Underwater

Is it a submarine? Is it a boat? Is it for Scuba Diving?

It is simply Ammonoq Submersible Boat

It is equipped with all the necessary accessories to survive beneath the water. Fin wheels provide a steady movement in water where as on-board re-breather facilitates a comfortable breathing for the passengers. It provides easy accommodation for three passengers with a remote key transmitter to control any internal or external devices. A GPS sensor tracks the exact position of the boat and redirects the path wherever it goes.

What Does It do?

When on surface, Ammonoq is just like any other boat except that it has a glass top. During the submersible mode, oxygen is made available from the re-breather unit housed under the seat. It provides up to three passengers. Each seat has a compartment where the regulator is stowed and is readily accessible to each passenger. There are also dive tank storages in the rear of the cabin for scuba diving. Therefore, the concept can also be for rescue mission underwater for coast guard

How Does It Move

There are two fin-wheels and each is driven by an electric motor. The fin-wheel is made out of the same materials as scuba dive fins and can rotate in the same direction to propel forward or backward. The long fins are used to propel forward and there are also wedge-shape parts on the fins that push against water to reverse. Since the fins are flexible, there is much lesser risk of injuries unlike propellers.

How Fast Does It Move

The traveling speed is expected to be about 50-60km/h on water, and of course, much slower underwater.

Too bad its still a concept design.
