Subject: Russian team creates “Underwater motorcycle”

Author: Bob

[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 05:22:53 10/15/07 Mon Two Russian brothers, Dmitry and Timophey Ryabikiny, both 34, have created the Aqua Star – an underwater motorcycle. The Aqua Star allows divers/riders to go underwater “without any kind of special equipment”. The body stays in the water and the head goes into a helmet which serves as a diving-bell, equipped with an air supply and airflow system which prevents the glass from steaming up. The motorcycle has two motors; the second motor lets the rider regulate the motorcycle’s position underwater by simply pressing and holding a button, and also lets the motorcycle hang at any point and turn on the spot. The motorcycle can freely be used at a depth of up to 12 metres and a top speed of 7km/h. [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
