Spymaster’s Orcasub is a $2 million submarine for two
Author: JohnnyBells
Sure, you could possibly use an ROV to seem like a regular Jacques Cousteau (or James Cameron, for that matter), however absolutely nothing beats the genuine deal: an individual submarine. UK department shop Harrods used its Technology Exhibit 2.0 event to highlight a mockup of Spymaster’s Orcasub: a made-to-order $ 2 million submarine that can drop up to 2,000 feet into the briny depths. A total amount of 2 passengers can climb aboard the 4-ton, 22 foot-long submersible thanks to a pair of 360-degree domes that offer 80 hours of life support for each occupant. The battery-powered sub is piloted using 2 foot pedals and a joystick, and deals with rather like an airplane since it was developed with the concepts of air travel in mind.
Orcasub comes equipped with sonar for accident avoidance, a digital long-range interactions system and a 60,000 lumen LED lighting rig. Exactly what you see above is simply a miniature, but Spymaster is taking orders for the real, full-size McCoy. In reality, people who ‘d like to dive deeper could put in a request for more expensive designs, with the most expensive version nabbing explorers an optimum depth of 6,000 feet for a cool $ 9.32 million. If you ask us, this sounds like an ideal escape vehicle for any luxury private yacht worth its salt. Struck the source link for Pocket-lint’s image gallery of the craft.

The Hunt For Red September: A Robotic Submarine Simulator Game
Author: Rod Sutherland
This is brilliant.
A group at Red Bull Production (which has the worst possible site ever) has actually developed a submarine simulation game called “ The Hunt For Red September, ” under the motif of “ A Game Of Games. ” The group, 1.21 Jigawatts, merely so takes place to be the champion of last year ’ s Red Bull Creation for “ Energy In Motion. ”
The game employs 3 Arduino micro-controllers that mimic the attack of a submarine, which is built to the scale and likeness of a real submarine. There are different levers and valves that the individual must trigger to repair different risks to the submarine, such as a high pressure hull rupture, radiation levels, reactor temp, or a depth cost.
Adorable as can easily be, depth fees are sent using remote Twitter users, as are torpedoes when enough tweeters get # firetorpedo trending throughout gameplay. The submarine design was drawn up in Sketchup, and eliminated making use of a Shopbot CNC appliance. 1.21 Jigawatts utilized an old medical facility bed actuator to make the sub rock from side to side, and there ’ s a vibration motor that simulates the torpedo attack.
The framework of the submarine was drawn in Sketchup, and cut out on a Shopbot CNC appliance. We then salvaged nearly every thing you see on the submarine, from the LCD display, to the pipes, and the metal grating on the flooring. The entire submarine rocks back and forth with an old healthcare facility bed actuator.
An LCD screen sits inside, on which you can easily follow the path of an inbound torpedo. There ’ s also a tone command (powered by an Adafruit Wave Shield) advising you which buttons, valves, levers to press. If you fail, valves start to break as the sub rocks from side to side, at which point you should close them manually.
The greatest part? If you can easily ’ t replacement the submarine and evade the opponent in time (2 minutes), you will be sprayed and splashed with fairly a bit of water. Only agile, quick, and sharp helmsmen arise dry.
You can examine out all of the additional hopefuls on Red Bull ’ s awful internet site and vote by clicking here.

Instant Evil Villain Status: Secret Submarine Base For Sale
Author: Rod Sutherland
So Norway has announced that it’s selling off Olavsvern Naval Base, a state of the art submarine base on the northern coast of the country for $ 17.5-million. That means if we each save up $ 1,750, then it’ll only take 10,000 of us to buy the thing. I’m not sure how many it sleeps, but who cares, I’m gonna gas you all as soon as we get there and then it’ll all be mine anyway. MWAHAHAHAHA! Are there sharks in Norway?
The property has approximately 13,500 square meters of buildings above ground, about 2500 square meters quay and a real mountain resort of about 25,000 square consisting of among other things:
- Dry dock for submarine / boat
- Workshops
- Office
- Fuel Systems
- Warehouse / repos
- Tunnel System
- Emergency power system
“Among other things?” What the hell kind of other thing are included? I want a FULL LIST. Because if they’re “rat infestations” or “ghosts” the deal is OFF. Just kidding, I’ll still take it but not for a cent over $ 61.29. “Your current account balance?” F***ing overdraft fees, man.
Hit the jump for several more shots of the property, including the interior.

Dive Dive Dive!: A Lil’ Hamster Powered Submarine
Author:
This is a lil hamster wheel powered submarine. It was made out of a 3-liter soda bottle and — wait. 3-LITER SODA BOTTLES?! Did anybody else not know about this? And, more importantly, do they come in red cream soda. Mmmm, love that shit. It’s way better than regular cream soda because it’s red. It’s the red that makes it so good. Like if Hawaiian Punch was clear that shit would suuuuuuck. Remember clear Pepsi? Of course you do, it SUCKED HARD. No hamsters were harmed in the making of this video. They did sink a battleship full of gerbils though.
Hit the jump for a short, crap-quality video and a link to the build page with more info.

Branson Plans To Explore Deep Sea In ‘Flying’ Sub
Virgin Group founder and British billionaire Richard Branson unveiled his plans this week to pilot a mini-submarine to the deepest depths of our oceans. The Virgin Oceanic project’s first dive is set for later this year to explore the Pacific Ocean’s Mariana Trench, which is about 36,000 feet in depth. This will be followed by four other dives, which will include the Atlantic Ocean’s Puerto Rico …

Robotic yellow submarine finds massive river under the sea, tons of other trippy stuff
Author: Tiffany Shoman
Researchers at the University of Leeds have employed a robotic yellow submarine to fund and begin documenting a massive river under the sea, known as a submarine channel — the first ever directly observed. The river is so large that if it were on land, it would be the sixth largest river in the world. The torpedo-shaped autosub itself is a 23-foot long, unmanned craft which can be programmed to stay just safely above the channels where they’d encounter damage. It’s equipped with an underwater speed camera which enable the team to observe in detail the flows within the channel. While little is known about what kind of lifeforms may lurk in these waters, the team’s research puts science a little closer to understanding these unique rivers, and its full report will be published later this year in Geology.

UK defense firm pumps data through solid submarine walls
Author: Markus Smith
Wireless power may still be on the drawing board, but wireless data is here today, and a UK defense contractor has figured out a way to pipe the latter through several inches of steel. Using a pair of piezoelectric transducers on either side of a watertight submarine compartment, BAE’s “Through Hull Data Link” sends and receives an acoustic wave capable of 15MHz data rates, enough to transmit video by essentially hammering ever-so-slightly on the walls. BAE impressed submarine commanders by streaming Das Boot right through their three-inch hulls, and while metadrama is obviously the killer app here, the company claims it will also save millions by replacing the worrisome wiring that’s physically routed via holes in a submarine’s frame. See the company’s full US patent application at our more coverage link.

CrunchCool: Russian Typhoon class submarine
Author: William Miller
Here’s something old, but definitely cool and worth showing you. Livejournal user Igor113 posted some pictures from his trip to… somewhere in Russia. He loves to travel and take pictures, and these are some extremely cool photographs of some rusted and cool equipment. Igor did apologize for the quality of his camera though, and requests that you don’t kick his legs.
The submarine pictures aren’t the only cool things on Igor’s site, he’s apparently traveled all over the EU and taken many many pictures of defunct Russian military vehicles and aircraft. I’d definitely recommend checking out some of his other posts as well.
