A pedal-powered Yellow Submarine

Share

After the Bike Caravan, make way for the pedal-powered submarine: The Scubster... I'm still doing well, thank you!

Yes, and this calls for a "cock-a-doodle-doo" because we owe this invention to a Frenchman (I'm not at all chauvinistic). Stéphane Rousson created the first muscle-powered submarine..."With 2 propellers, our Scubster is much more maneuverable and allows underwater exploration while going 4 times faster than a diver", the inventor told the press.

Joking aside, you do need some serious calves, because the maximum speed is 8km/h and it can reach a depth of 6 meters. The device is designed to move right, left, and backward and to automatically surface if its pilot stops pedaling.

The great ecological plus is that it doesn't pollute the sea or our oceans, well yes, since you're pedaling, I find the idea I was going to say absurd so let's say crazy, but that's because I'm not an inventor!!! So ladies and gentlemen, Stéphane is looking for sponsors if you're interested! It makes me smile and that way, I'm sure the starfish won't be in any danger!
