I think it's the first time i see a sub with hiperbaric chamber and a hole for diving. Makes possible long dives without decompression. It's a sub well suited to find out where those spanish ships went down with all the inca gold inside
What I wonder about is how they prevent the dive chamber from filling up with water once they open the bottom hatch that gives them acces to the water outside of the sub. I assume the air pressure inside the sub is at 1 bar, and depending on the depth the sub is at the water pressure is several bar, so wouldn't the water rush in and completely flood the dive chamber unless the pressure inside is increased above 1 bar to match the water pressure outside?
The diving chamber is a separate compartment with the internal pressure adjusted to the ambient while the hatch is open. The rest of the sub has 1 bar internal pressure. Both compartments are separated by a pressure-proof bulkhead.

Excellent work! It is great to see people achieve their dreams after working so hard towards their goals. The time you all took to educate yourselves and the number of years that you stuck with the project to see it through to its fruition is something to be extremely proud of. Thank you for sharing your project. Your creation is beautiful!
This has captured my interest in a way that nothing else has done for a very long time - it's an incredible project (if that's the right thing to call it?). The fact that +Deep Blue Sea actually take the time to answer people's questions is even more amazing. How do you even start/get involved with a project like this?
I joined 7 years ago as a student. A coleague told my about project and it was only 100 km away from my place. I asked if I can take some pictures of the sub for my collection and helped to put some lead ballast into the bilge instead. That's how it started. It was 3 years before the launch.
It's literally in the video description smh "Euronaut" is a private project of a research and diver support submarine built by Carsten Standfuss - a German naval architect. It has been designed between 1988 and 2000. Then it took another 12 years to build it on holidays, weekends and after work. Most systems on board are second hand and homebuilt.
This seriously incredible on so many levels. Did they get the recognition they deserved for such a feat? It gets my thumbs up as well as my belief in mankind.
So why did youtube mute your guys video. Looked very professional. Not something I would of guessed amateur built and piloted. Great Video Guys. Stay safe out there.
This has inspired me to build my own sub out of corrugated pipe. An 18 year old did it so why can't I? You guys are amazing by the way. If I lived in Germany I would love to see it!
A beautifully built boat, and (to my landlubber eyes) it looks immaculately maintained. The submariners who go down in these vessels are a breed apart to me. I would have to be heavily sedated before anyone could stuff me down a metal hatch into a long metal tube which then submerges under water and could have thousands of feet of abyss under its hull. That thought terrifies me, but to these guys it looks like just another day at the office.
Amazing. Not a small feet of engineering at all. Somewhat humbling in a time when being able to "code" or make an "app" are considered the pinacle of technical achievement.
So when you dive on a sub like that as you go down is it just like going down on scuba pressure wise? For example: the sub is under enough pressure to keep the water from coming in a hole big enough for a man to get through. So you cant just shoot to the surface in a sub like that depending on how long or deep you went. You would have to use a scuba table and ascend to its limits right? You could easily even decompression dive in that thing or even saturation. You would need a oxygen generator to do saturation diving. And a big bank or co2 absorber too. Man that's so freaking cool.
Only the diving chamber is pressurized with the hatch open. The rest of the compartments are normobaric. So no need for decompression for the nautical crew. Only divers.
Out of curiosity, what has this submarine been built for? Are you guys part of a university or technical school team? It looks so amazing. I wish i could do something like this in my thesis undergraduate project. My bad if my questions are repetitive. I looked over your website, but i know no German(still learning).
1.) The project is full-private and is a personal hobby of the crew, which designed and built it. There is no authority or university behind it. Only some crazy dudes. :-) 2.) The homepage has an English version aus well, although not everything is translated properly.
Hut ab da habt ihr wirklich was Atemberaubendes auf die Beine gestellt! Wenn ich mal im hohen Norden bin schreibe ich euch auf jeden Fall mal würde mich freuen euer Boot mal live zu sehen selbst wenn es nur von außen ist. :) Wann kann man mit eurem ersten atomgetriebenen boot rechnen? ;-P
This sub is mighty impressive, my main fear besides small spaces and being deep underwater would be if you leave the sub and it's not where you parked it when you come back?
+Deep Blue Sea when that week had passed can you then just resurface and refill the tanks and then go back down or do you need to go to a harbour to refill the tanks and all that necessary stuff? :D
The underwater endurance depends rather on amount of CO2 absorber in scrubbers, of O2 in the cylinders and of food. All these problems can be solved with additional storage of oxygen on deck and soda lime in the bilge canisters or microwave food in the storage boxes. For the rest there is an electric generator, air compressor and a freshwater plant.
That's amazing guys! Impossible is nothing. May I visit you (your submarine) one day? I just wonder if your profession/work is related to that what you've done. Alles Gute!
I loved the idea and the machine, congratulations to the whole team. But I'm curious, is It possible to pressurize the sub's main compartment turning the whole vessel in a decompresion chamber?
+Waggoner Kranmer, jes, it's possible, but where are the benefits. Making such a large compartment wit all the electric equipment oxygen clean is a pain in the ass of the lifetime.
+Deep Blue Sea I was worried with the possibility of the increase of pressure, damage lcd screens (have fluorescent lamps), little gauge or another thing who can be sealed in a environment pressure. The reason for asking that is because I read the description of the sub telling the great autonomy!! So I was thinking... Euronaut can be a excellent habitat for aquanauts do some research or exploration. Divers will be able to live several days underwater, But with mobility, something who a normal habitat can't provide. It will work just like a trailer for underwater vacations. (Bad analogy) PS.: Thanks for answer. I really loved your work!!! Good day from Brazil!!!
+Waggoner Kranmer, This would be certainly a possibility, but advantages of being a mobile habitat would be eaten with the problems of making the whole compartment hyperbaric. This is not only about making internal equipment pressure-proof. It is about to get it Oxygen-clean. Otherwise every drop of oil or fat somewhere inside could lead to spontaneous self-ignition. This is much easier to control in a pressure chamber, but impossible in a fully-functional submarine. Other problem. if the whole sub were hyperbaric, the whole crew is an object to decompression, when the mission is over and it would take days, just like in case of saturation divers. Noone can just open the hatch and go out in case of emergency, no outlook on the bridge, not even someone to throw a rope on the peer, when back in port. :-)
I love the video. I think if it's extremely awesome to privately a build Submarine and take it for a spin every now then. What is the background music?
I would think that there would be a lot of work for a small sub such as that. -Mainly in doing underwater inspections, especially where cameras can take images.
I hope I'm not repeating a comment here, but how does the oxygen system work? Is there a CO2 scrubber & O2 tanks? Sorry I'm new to submarine technology and was wondering if it was a whole computerized system. Keep up the inspirational work!
This is a simple and "stupid" system with CO2 Scrubbers all over the boat (2 large ones in the galley, another 2 in the diving chamber plus two small in the Control Center) and with some O2 tanks with the constant flow of oxygen into the main compartment (typically 0,25 l/minute per person). In the diving chamber you have to set your O2 constant flow according to the diving tables in the corresponding depth and you have to keep an eye on the O2-Sensor, so you don't pass the border, where Oxygen becomes toxic. Everything is manual. There is no computerized system in response of any vital function of the boat.
Is this the same system as on your smaller boats, and what sort of scrubbers are you using? Sorry for all the questions, but i'm becoming rather interested!
Keep asking! It's always fun to answer to someone, who knows, what he's talking about. :-) The smaller boats like Eurosub and NordicSub use the same principle of CO2 scrubbers with axial fans. The fans of Euronaut are originally designed for use in PCs and servers. No idea about other ones. The main scrubber of the Sgt. peppers submersible and Control Center scrubbers of Euronaut are originally from the German FGT-I military SCR Rebreathers. Some with additional fan, some without. Got to ask for further details.
The NordicSub and EuroSub, anyway, use their own scrubber design with same axial fans, but with an acryllic housing and are made by our dutch crew member, who builds them for sale. One of those scrubbers is used in the current Triton 3300MD/1 single-person submersible from USA.
For enviromental reasons the boat didn't receive an antifouling. Scratching the barnacles was necessary every couple of months. Currently she gets a new paint job, but no idea which one is it going to be.
Könnt ihr wirklich 7 Tage unter Wasser bleiben? Wieviel Kapazität haben denn eure Akkus und was für eine Luftaufbereitungsanlage ist da drin? Wäre ja der Hammer!
+toddi1971. Wir waren nie so lange unten. Aber ja, die Kapazität der CO2-Filter und der Sauerstoffflaschen würde ausreichen. Genauso wie die riesige Navigationsbatterie aus Dutzend LKW Blei-Gel Batterien. Geschweige einer 4 Tonnen schweren Fahrtbatterie. :)
Northern European engineers in general are brilliant at making submarines, both "amateur" and commercial/military! Before the Euronaut there was the Nautilus, a Danish submarine made by a group of amateurs that was only slightly smaller but of comparable capability (minus the diving chamber). Sadly the project leader ended up luring a young Swedish journalist into the sub, and while at sea he raped and murdered her. The Danish autorities arrested and prosecuted him, for which he's now rightfully serving a life sentence, but sadly if I'm not mistaken the sub was seized as evidence in the case and eventually scrapped by the government :-(
Life goal 1 build a sub like this and go to America 2 find a shark piss it off and battle it 3 drag the dead shark body to a beach cook it and then eat it
is there a posibility to add a oxygen generator to absorb water and with electronisis to seperate water into hydrogen and oxygen? also how long is it posibile for you to stay at sea till you need to dock for fuel and food?
The sub can stay submerged for a week. Part of the pressurized cylinders can be used for oxygen as well, which means hundreds of liters of oxygen for mixed gas in the diving chamber or oxygen regeneration in the main compartment ". It is much, much, much cheaper and simplier for our tasks to add another 50 liter oxygen cylinder for another 50 hours of O2 supply for the crew of six persons, than to use electrolytic separation. By the way. What are we supposed to do with highly explosive H2 in the boat atmosphere?
thanks for the info and another question, i think it was in your videos but i might have forgot so how long can you stay at sea and, or ocean before you need to resuply for fuel and food and how deep can the sub dive till the water pressure crushes it in the weak points?also where does all of the waste go?
Some of the main Particulars here: facebook.com/euronaut.org and here facebook.com/euronaut.org/photos/a.188077641595446.1073741828.184979365238607/188614024875141 Tell me if you can't reach the facebook site.
Finally a privately owned submarine that actually exists!!! I LOVE AND DREAM about phenix1000 and Seattle 1000s from US Submarine but they are only cartoons and engineering shown on the internet I don't believe they really exist.
There are literally dozens of privately designed and built submarines and submersibles all over the world. Germany alone has got, let me think about it, sever or eight or something!
250 m operational, 320 m test depth. it is a single hull. Soda lime in own-designed scrubbers. Two scrubbers per compartment plus an smaller one for the CIC
Can you do this if the submarine reaches 1000 meter deep? can a scuba survive ? I wonder why this technology is not being use. the ocean needs to be explored . How deep can a scuba exit the sub? Dive to the bottom of Mariana Trench and exit the sub , omg This is fun on another level, good work.
Ambient diving is limited by human physiology. Even 40 m for couple of hours already needs extreme efforts. Google "saturation diving". You might find answers to you questions much better, tan I can answer them in a RUclips comment. :-)
Hey there! At 2:57 theres a hole with the water under the submarine, How does it not come up into the submarine? I know its physics but I am terrible with this stuff and i've seen the same thing in underwater labs and houses please tell me, thanks! :)
The dive trunk hatch should open down and out not up and in. All hatches should open out on a submarine. Because look a deep diving small submarine the water psi can be so high you can unlock the hatch but you can’t open it if you tried if it opens outward so the water psi will help keep the door closed at depth.
+Dilidjent, the pressure in the chamber is equalized with the ambient pressure in the water. Therefore the water level doesn't rise, when one opens the hatch. The camera was a cheap chinese GoPro clone.
She has a gyrocompass for true heading, when underwater, but no dead reconing and no own speed /drift measurement. So we don't really navigating, when submerged. But it's not really a problem because she is not going long distances submerged like military subs do. We are speaking about maximum couple hundreds meters around the wreck site maybe. The rest of the time she is either surfaced cruising to the wreck site or bottomed near the wreck.
It was called "The Turtle". It was built in 1775 by American David Bushnell as a means of attaching explosive charges to ships in a harbor, for use against Royal Navy vessels occupying North American harbors during the American Revolutionary War. He built an eight-foot-long wooden submersible that was christened the Turtle for its shape. Large enough to accommodate one operator, the submarine was entirely hand-powered. Lead ballast kept the craft balanced. It could only go about 20 under water.
I think it's the first time i see a sub with hiperbaric chamber and a hole for diving. Makes possible long dives without decompression. It's a sub well suited to find out where those spanish ships went down with all the inca gold inside
Astronaut Gordon Cooper documented a bunch of shipwrecks that I'd love to go explore!
What I wonder about is how they prevent the dive chamber from filling up with water once they open the bottom hatch that gives them acces to the water outside of the sub. I assume the air pressure inside the sub is at 1 bar, and depending on the depth the sub is at the water pressure is several bar, so wouldn't the water rush in and completely flood the dive chamber unless the pressure inside is increased above 1 bar to match the water pressure outside?
The diving chamber is a separate compartment with the internal pressure adjusted to the ambient while the hatch is open. The rest of the sub has 1 bar internal pressure. Both compartments are separated by a pressure-proof bulkhead.
Actually under water pipe repairmen go in a small ball(kinda like a sub) and there's a hole in it so they can dive
You have to admit Germany and subs go together like knockwursts and sauerkraut!

+toddi1971. Wir waren nie so lange unten. Aber ja, die Kapazität der CO2-Filter und der Sauerstoffflaschen würde ausreichen. Genauso wie die riesige Navigationsbatterie aus Dutzend LKW Blei-Gel Batterien. Geschweige einer 4 Tonnen schweren Fahrtbatterie. :)
Please allow me to say that this is so cool. If I had the time I would ask a whole much of questions about it. Great job!
You gotta hand it to German Engineers 👍
Northern European engineers in general are brilliant at making submarines, both "amateur" and commercial/military! Before the Euronaut there was the Nautilus, a Danish submarine made by a group of amateurs that was only slightly smaller but of comparable capability (minus the diving chamber). Sadly the project leader ended up luring a young Swedish journalist into the sub, and while at sea he raped and murdered her. The Danish autorities arrested and prosecuted him, for which he's now rightfully serving a life sentence, but sadly if I'm not mistaken the sub was seized as evidence in the case and eventually scrapped by the government :-(
820 ft depth? Seriously? Have you taken it that deep? What is the pressure hull made of?
Pressure hull is made of S355J2 construction steel.
Really good music that fits this video.
Einfach nur genial ein kindheitstraum 👍🙂
can you close that diving hatch, and what is the weight for (as I was typing the hatch was closed) Beautiful video
Luke Furtek, the weight is a back-up anchor. It allows to move the bow of the submarine up and down to give enough space for the divers to quit.
+Deep Blue Sea Cool, thanks.
Life goal
1 build a sub like this and go to America
2 find a shark piss it off and battle it
3 drag the dead shark body to a beach cook it and then eat it
Communism doesn't work
4 fuck bitches
Just would need a few days of food and you are set, maybe an APS for the shark
Then get arrested.
Yes😂
is there a posibility to add a oxygen generator to absorb water and with electronisis to seperate water into hydrogen and oxygen?
also how long is it posibile for you to stay at sea till you need to dock for fuel and food?
The sub can stay submerged for a week. Part of the pressurized cylinders can be used for oxygen as well, which means hundreds of liters of oxygen for mixed gas in the diving chamber or oxygen regeneration in the main compartment ". It is much, much, much cheaper and simplier for our tasks to add another 50 liter oxygen cylinder for another 50 hours of O2 supply for the crew of six persons, than to use electrolytic separation. By the way. What are we supposed to do with highly explosive H2 in the boat atmosphere?
thanks for the info and another question, i think it was in your videos but i might have forgot so how long can you stay at sea and, or ocean before you need to resuply for fuel and food and how deep can the sub dive till the water pressure crushes it in the weak points?also where does all of the waste go?

Tell me if you can't reach the facebook site.
thanks for the links both worked and gave me an understanding of your submarine and your projects.
The moon pool is amazing!
By the amount of marine growth on the underwater hull I would say it doesn’t get much maintenance.
That is very cool!
Beer holder in a submarine 👍👍
Finally a privately owned submarine that actually exists!!! I LOVE AND DREAM about phenix1000 and Seattle 1000s from US Submarine but they are only cartoons and engineering shown on the internet I don't believe they really exist.
There are literally dozens of privately designed and built submarines and submersibles all over the world. Germany alone has got, let me think about it, sever or eight or something!
What is the max depth? Is it a double pressure hull? What are you using for scrubbers?
250 m operational, 320 m test depth. it is a single hull. Soda lime in own-designed scrubbers. Two scrubbers per compartment plus an smaller one for the CIC
Amazing, congratulations!
Soooo cool! It'd be **awesome** to have your own sub!
Out of curiosity what is the total run time of the submarine? what is the longest amount of time the crew has spent inside it?
+javier lopez Allways less than one day at sea. Total expedition time is max. 4 days until now. Still testing and improving the equipment on board
+Deep Blue Sea What's it Luke in bad weatherM
It's not a good feeling at all. The sub never runs out in sea with more 1-1,5 m wave.
Amazing sub. Looks very pro to me.
That is so awesome. Love the video 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤❤
Wow, one trip from Columbia to Australia and that thing would pay for itself!
Can you do this if the submarine reaches 1000 meter deep? can a scuba survive ? I wonder why this technology is not being use. the ocean needs to be explored .
How deep can a scuba exit the sub?
Dive to the bottom of Mariana Trench and exit the sub , omg
This is fun on another level, good work.
Ambient diving is limited by human physiology. Even 40 m for couple of hours already needs extreme efforts. Google "saturation diving". You might find answers to you questions much better, tan I can answer them in a RUclips comment. :-)
Hey there! At 2:57 theres a hole with the water under the submarine, How does it not come up into the submarine? I know its physics but I am terrible with this stuff and i've seen the same thing in underwater labs and houses please tell me, thanks! :)
The pressure inside the diving chamber is the same as in the ambient water because some compressed air is blown inside.
Oh okay, Could you tell me what this kind of thing is called? Specifically to submerines and stuff, Thanks :)
I don't get it
I'm saying is there a specific name for those types of hatches? Also Hi after 11 months!
The dive trunk hatch should open down and out not up and in. All hatches should open out on a submarine. Because look a deep diving small submarine the water psi can be so high you can unlock the hatch but you can’t open it if you tried if it opens outward so the water psi will help keep the door closed at depth.
How water didn't come in at 2:30 and do you use GoPro?
+Dilidjent, the pressure in the chamber is equalized with the ambient pressure in the water. Therefore the water level doesn't rise, when one opens the hatch.
The camera was a cheap chinese GoPro clone.
+Deep Blue Sea Thx for reply.
I wish some of the components on the submarine were either marked of discussed.
Guys can you please post video of her navigating while submerged and of her surfacing while under way?
I've seen all your requests for that. I cant't promise anything.
@@Wrackzeichner let me ask you this: she does navigate while submerged, yes?
She has a gyrocompass for true heading, when underwater, but no dead reconing and no own speed /drift measurement. So we don't really navigating, when submerged. But it's not really a problem because she is not going long distances submerged like military subs do. We are speaking about maximum couple hundreds meters around the wreck site maybe. The rest of the time she is either surfaced cruising to the wreck site or bottomed near the wreck.
how Many people worked on this and how Much did it Cost? omg so damn jelous
Maybe a dozen. The core team consisted of 4 or 5. The costs are secret. :-)
unterstand thank you
He doesn’t want his wife to find out how much he spent 😳
Looks like she's ready for a scrub up and new paint job😉
Why would youtube mute it!??
pretty cool makes me want one!
How deep can the sub go and still use the dive hole in the bottom of the submarine?
its on the description. can use it as low as the subs operational depth
What the hell are we looking at? Ever hear of subtitles or captions
There’s a beer in the cupholder.... you can’t be more any more German.
A thing of beauty...
The first submarines destined for war couldn't go as deep as this one.
I was thinking the same thing, 820 feet wow
It was called "The Turtle". It was built in 1775 by American David Bushnell as a means of attaching explosive charges to ships in a harbor, for use against Royal Navy vessels occupying North American harbors during the American Revolutionary War. He built an eight-foot-long wooden submersible that was christened the Turtle for its shape. Large enough to accommodate one operator, the submarine was entirely hand-powered. Lead ballast kept the craft balanced. It could only go about 20 under water.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_submarines
The first what I’d call real submarine was 1624 and rowed under tge surface of the Thames.
Oh no the Bosche are trying to rebuild their U-Boat fleet!
