The discovery of submarine history

Posted by Jibril on Tuesday, May 17, 2011

Submarine is a vessel that can dive into the water. With the submarine we could see the beauty that comes from the oceans and seas. So the submarine could become a unique means of transportation and interesting. These submarines could be used for military purposes or for leisure. Heehehehhe,

But do you know anyone who invent its ??

FIGURE best known as the inventor of the submarine is Cornelius van Drebbel. Initially, the author sketches the submarine is Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519), while William Bourne designed the plan of the ship (1578). But, who managed to build it is Cornelius van Drebbel in 1620.

Initially, he only saw the sketches that made two of his friend. Then, slowly van Drebbel try to realize the sketches which he said was unique. Standard construction is still taking a sketch of Bourne. Namely, using the principle that the ship can sink if the tank filled with water. If the ship would be raised to the surface, emptied the water tank first.

Then, van Drebbel try to apply the law of Archimedes using rowing as an activator. Not quite up there, van Drebbel continue to upgrade homemade submarine. Especially in terms of design with a shape like the composition of the two boats and closed the skin.

Dayungan holes made more tacky, so do not take in water. Van Drebble not use the system back, but trying to iron for easy boat dive.

The submarine became the oldest submarines. Because, his body is still made from animal skin and wood frame. Van Drebbel also wrap the base timber ship with waterproof materials and paddle boat with the skin. The addition of air monitoring van Drebbel tube to provide oxygen.

Made his first trip with 12 oarsmen on the River Thames. In these trials, the ship managed to dive as deep as 360-450 cm below the River Thames, London, for 2-3 hours.

The last model made van Drebbel have six oars and can accommodate 16 passengers. The ship was to dive for three hours and yachting to 12-15 feet (4-5-meters) below the water surface. Track was started in Westminster to Greenwich return trip.

Submarine that looked like a cigar was made hydrodynamic. According to van Drebbel, can reduce the hydrodynamic resistance when submerged. That way, the ship can sink seamlessly. Submarines that have speeds around 18 km / hour.

At present the findings of van Drebbel submarines began to be developed for military purposes. Especially as the submarine war. It is actually far from the desire Drebbel when first made submarine. He did not want to be a homemade submarine killer tool

Thank you,,,

Hopefully useful and successful ,,,,,
