Abstract
An underwater personal submersible is provided. The underwater personal submersible can include a main body comprising a tripod structure of two forward-swept stabilizing surfaces and a main section including a user compartment, a plurality of oxygen tanks, and a propulsion mechanism. The placement of the propulsion mechanism and the stabilizing surfaces increases the maneuverability of the submersible.
Claims35
An underwater personal submersible, comprising:
- a main body, said main body comprising a forward observation chamber;
- a first forward side support assembly on one side of the main body;
- a second forward side support assembly on an opposite side of the main body;
- and
- a rear support;
- said first forward support and said second forward support defining an open viewing space between one another from a front of the forward observation chamber.
An underwater personal submersible, comprising:
- a main body having a center of gravity;
- a first vertical stabilizer mechanism on one side of a vertical plane intersecting the center of gravity;
- a second vertical stabilizer mechanism on an opposite side of the vertical plane intersecting the center of gravity;
- and
- a rear propulsion mechanism.
An underwater personal submersible, comprising:
- a main body comprising a tripod structure of two forward stabilizing surfaces and a main section including a user compartment;
- a plurality of oxygen tanks and buoyancy compartments located near a center of gravity of the submersible;
- a propulsion mechanism configured to provide forward motion of the submersible;
- and
- a stabilizing mechanism configured to maneuver and rotate the submersible when the submersible is moving with low or zero forward motion.
An underwater personal submersible comprising a tripod structure of two forward-swept stabilizing surfaces including stabilizing mechanisms and a main section including a user compartment, the main section further comprising an observation chamber configured to allow a user to view an environment surrounding the submersible, at least one oxygen tank, at least one buoyancy compartment, and a propulsion mechanism comprising at least one thruster mechanism.
An underwater personal submersible comprising a main section including a user compartment and an observation chamber, at least one oxygen tank connected to the user compartment, at least one buoyancy compartment, and a propulsion mechanism comprising at least one thruster mechanism, wherein the user compartment is configured such that a user is oriented face down and inclined upwards at least 20 degrees from a horizontal position, each arm of the user is extended forward and outward within the user compartment, and the placement of the propulsion mechanism, the at least one buoyancy compartment, and the at least one oxygen tank facilitate the submersible staying stable and upright while underwater.
