Hyper-sub: a racing ship that reaches a speed of up to 72 km/h, and has the ability to transform into a submarine in less than a minute and dive to a depth of 60 meters
Since the construction of the first submarine in 1620 by the Dutch inventor Cornelis van Derbel, the field of submarine construction has developed greatly although over the years the principle has remained the same. Throughout history, there have been several attempts to build vessels with integrated capabilities, but it seems that the case of Reynolds Marine is unique since its integrated development has moved to the commercial stage.
The dream of Reynolds and his partners was simple - to build a ship with diving capabilities. Developing a tool of the above type poses a number of engineering problems. The development of fast boats requires different thinking than the development of submarines, while a ship that sails on waves is required to be light in weight in order to reach high speeds, a submarine requires a construction resistant to the pressures in deep water.
During the development, the team completely changed the accepted proportions of the cells, usually the area of the floating cells is about 20%, in the new vessel their area was doubled. The prototype was composed of several parts, each of which is resistant to deep water pressure. And in order to dive, a high-pressure pump system was assembled to fill the flotation cells in less than a minute, which turns the ship into a submarine.
The length of a hyper-sub is 10 meters, its width is 3.7 meters and its height is 1.8 meters. She has enough space, so she can accommodate 4 people in addition to the captain. Its speed on the surface of the water reaches 72 km/h and it can move about 1,250 km, underwater it reaches a speed of 3 km/h for 45 minutes. In diving mode, it can dive to a depth of 60 meters and remain underwater without moving for several hours, making it an excellent tool for companies for oil exploration, Companies Port security, armies, tourism companies and more.
The unique tool received many praises and was even named one of the ten inventions of 2008 by the American magazine Popular Sciences (August 2008 issue).
Over the years, the project was euthanized several times, and the entrepreneurs almost went bankrupt after investing 2 million dollars in the project and years of development, butLast Renewed interest in the ship's unique capabilities. Investors poured funds into the project and thus contributed to the establishment of a production line and marketing system, according to Statements The company in the first year production will be 10 ships with the cost of each one being 2.5 to 4 million dollars. The global security company Mi2International has already signed a contract to purchase the first four active models, presentations were made to the military and interest arose from companies that provide adventure sports services.

Everything is possible except the woman. There the demands are excessive.

A racing ship that is also a submarine
A penknife that is also a spoon-fork-opener
A raincoat that is also an elegant jacket
Optical glasses that are also sunglasses
Shoes that are also skates
A cell phone that is both a radio and a camera
Tape manages both a personal diary and a calculator
Internet surfer and…
There are two more things left to invent:
1. A private car that is also a mini-helicopter
2. A woman who is both beautiful and smart and loyal
to 6 The technologies of animation and streaming video over the Internet were pushed
by the porn industry.
Eran Um, what technological developments did the porn industry contribute to?
If it is in civilian use then think about what is in military use around the world
Because any such invention first needs a security approval for marketing by virtue of this it is immature and limited by design in the first place
Just as the porno industry contributed to many technological developments, so the drug industry promotes the field of intercontinental traffic. Already today micro submarines with similar characteristics, but with a slightly different purpose, are used by the drug cartels in South America.

This is about an initial model, I understand Ami Bachar's intention in his question, his intention apparently, what will happen with the following models of this tool and how far it will be possible to stretch its features. Between us, a speed of 3 km/h underwater is quite low. As above, 45 minutes of diving which is only about two kilometers of diving progress.
I appreciate that the next models will be improved.

To 1 is listed in the article
Where - let the owner decide
Depth - 60 meters
Diving speed - 3 km/h
Dive time in motion - 45 minutes
Dive time without movement - number of hours
Cruising speed - 72 km/h
Interesting and beautiful. I hope skippers will have to undergo special training to use this tool underwater. I wonder where this thing will go, to what depths and at what speeds.
