Discovery-Recovery "E-2" Personal Submarine
After the company known as "Discovery-Recovery" went bankrupt, many of their recovery submarines were auctioned off. This personal submarine designated E for Easy, and 2 for second generation, has thousands of models, and you just so happen to now own one, so here’s how it works.
The submarine is meant for one person, but it is able to comfortably contain three people. The main command cabin allows for the captain to enter/exit without the need of an airlock, so be careful. The engine room is self-explanatory, allowing access to the mechanical beast that powers the vessel. The sonar/radio room allows the crew member(s) to converse with personnel on the surface, while also searching the seafloor with the sonar.
There are a ton of cool things to mess around with, and although all of the controls are easy to understand, I left room for the captain(s) to explore acquaint themselves with the E-2.
this was inspired by the beetle’s song.
- 1 3×3 diesel motor for surface movement and recharging batteries.
- Intended for long-range travel with 1500L of diesel and 15~60 minutes of underwater usage before recharge.
- Eight electric "octomotor" design for maneuvering underwater.
- Designed to be fully controllable by one person.
- Fully detailed interior with interactive valves, lighting, power, etc. in each room.
- Safety features include; heading hold, depth hold, stabilization, auto-anchor, emergency transmission, etc. .
- Several lighting features both inside and outside that immerse crew.
- Automatic diesel-electric power-train switch using depth.
- Automatic bilge in all cabins, including airlock which locks when inundated.
- Sonar and radio with ease of use intended.
- Ballast-free design.
- Inspired solely by The Beetle’s "Yellow Submarine."
- "speed mode" 😉
WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE WITHOUT THESE COMPONENTS!
