 Body of Submarine
In order to complete the streamline body of submarine, we have
used the 4” PVC pipe. This closed at both ends.

On the Rudder end we have used a nozzle converging from 4”

to 2”.

On the Other end We have used a 4” circular dead End Cap.

For the sailing tower we have used hard plastic sheet and molded
it into the shape of the sailing tower.

For air tightening we have used silicon sealing.

 Blast Tanks
For the diving and floating mechanism we have used the Blast
tanks. Blast tank get filled with the surrounding water and
increase the overall density.

For Diving: A Blast tank sucks the water out of the

surrounding and submarine dives.

For Floating: A blast tank empties itself out in the

surrounding water to decrease the overall density of submarine
ant it floats.

Body of Blast Tanks: we have used a 60 ML injection for the

making of blast tank.

For Suction processes we have used the screw gear

mechanism.

Gear Mechanism.

Driving gear of 20 teethes which get power from a motor (12

volt DC 2400 RPM). Driven gear of 40 teethes screwed on Bolt
(1/16”).

Suction.

Driving gear deliver the power to the driven and it rotates and
due to gear and screw mechanism It sucks the water in 5.5
secs.
Blast Tank:
 Propulsion Mechanism
Submarine will be propelled by the propulsion mechanism. It
consists of Propeller, propeller shaft, Gear mechanism, Motor.

Propeller is mounted on the one end of the shaft and on the

other end the 40 teeth gear.

23 teeth gear driven by the motor (12V DC 2400 RPM) driving

the 40 teeth gear delivering the power to propeller (pitched
54mm and diameter 1.4”)

Propeller is rotating at 1200RPM.

 Power supply
For power supply we have used 12V Lithium ion DC battery.

Control
Our submarine is control by programmed switches. We have used
programmed microcontroller for controlling. Our model submarine
will float for 15 seconds and dive for 15 seconds at the same time
it will move forward. And then it will come on surface.

We have used the controller AT89C52.

Balancing
We have used weights of lead and iron for the balancing and
weight distribution of our submarine so that its nose and its tail
will be at same level, And to increasing the overall density of our
submarine.
 Hydrodynamics
Hydrodynamics of our submarine model is like the real submarine
we have used fines and rudders for its stability.
