Rinspeed sQuba - Amphibious Convertible?
Submitted by cac on Mon, 2008-02-18 09:54Even powered by batteries (how well does that mix with water?) so it's zero emissions.
My only real question is the convertible aspect. I guess if you leave the top down and drive enough after you come out of the water it will dry you off :-)

Baking Power Submarines
Submitted by cac on Mon, 2011-05-02 21:15OK, it's not a full size boat, or even a full size toy, but they do go in the water and dive and resurface and I bet a bunch of us played with them as kids...
Print your own U-boat

OK, only for a bathtub or swimming pool now, but this is really slick to me. How long (I say not very) until you can print a full size boat? Maybe not at home, but with gear that a small boat-shop could afford. I think it's coming sooner than you would believe.

Submitted by cac on Tue, 2010-02-23 20:55Just a fun looking one... a home theater modeled as if its the inside of a decaying submarine.
Underwater ROV submarine camera
Submitted by cac on Tue, 2010-02-23 20:52
A very detailed, but simple to follow page describing how to build a remote controlled, underwater "camera platform".
Not only a fun looking project, but could be very handy to check out what's going on below the waterline.
A bit more detail on the Home Made Submarine
Submitted by cac on Wed, 2009-09-09 14:10Another link with a few more details and pictures of the home made submarine. I wonder what the crush rating of those barrels is. Regardless, really neat.
I'm worried about my boat floating and this guy is designing his to sink. Maybe he has something there.
