I want to build a miniature Uboat. At this point it just seems

>>31554832
You're a stupid bitch.

>>31554832
weld a superstructure to an aluminum canoe. then cruise around on the surface, best youre gonna get

>>31554832

Lock yourself in a closet for a week, then tell me if you still want a miniature U-boat.

>I've always wanted a U-boat, too, but making them any smaller is... ugh, no thank you.

I forgot his name, but there was this slav who built a submarine to try and escape the Soviet Union, but he got caught on an anti-submarine net.
He was punished with a scholarship to a russian marine bureau school.

>>31555026
you would save a lot of the space because you have no torpedoes and shit, the inside would not be replica with room for 1-3 people.

lol nice, you might have to watch out they may suspect you of being a drug smuggler or something

what I imagine you ending up with

>>31554832
Weld 2 canoes on top of each other with a hole cut in the top one for you to sit in. then attach a weedwacker to the back as a motor.

How do I make it dive?

There's a good number of homebuilt submarines. It's possible, but a pretty big deal as /diy/ goes. I've seen some nice ones though. Also some terrifying ones. Google and enjoy.


>Dangerous
Definitely

you cant. unless you wear scuba gear.
you have no way of making ballast tanks at home which are workable

If you can build a superstructure, you can use pic related as cheap ballast tanks.
The biggest challenge would probably be recycling air and getting the engine exhaust out of the sub.

Read this report a few years ago. Bunch of pictures at the bottom. Sure, they probably had the help of an marine engineer, but they still built the bitch in some make shift dry dock in the middle of some shit South American city.

Sorry to ruin your dreams, herr Kaleun but it is illegal:

>§ 2285. OPERATION OF SUBMERSIBLE VESSEL OR SEMI-SUBMERSIBLE VESSEL WITHOUT NATIONALITY.

>‘‘(a) OFFENSE.—Whoever knowingly operates, or attempts or conspires to operate, by any means, or embarks in any submersible vessel or semi-submersible vessel that is without nationality and that is navigating or has navigated into, through, or from waters beyond the outer limit of the territorial sea of a single country or a lateral limit of that country’s territorial sea with an adjacent country, with the intent to evade detection, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 15 years, or both.”

Meaning, even if you built it in another country, and sailed it in international waters, the US Navy or Coast Guard can arrest and sink you. To have the boat registered means you have to build to code and have it inspected which costs money. Sorry.

Sorry this is a picture for ants.

Those were Go Kart steering wheels by the way. Meant to control the "flippers" (is that the right term?) for diving and surfacing.

They say this one costs 4 billion pesos. I don't know how much that is in monopoly money, but whatever.

It might be comfy for a short, quiet ride. I'm not sure I'd trust Eduardo's engineering when I'm cruising across the ocean to Miami.

>>31556158
Do you have thousands of people and dollars at your disposal? no?
Didn't think so.
That's like a child who loves spaceships saying "if nasa can do it why cant i?

How effective were these drug subs? They look noisy as hell so its not like the coast guard or navy would have had any trouble detecting them.

>Do you have thousands dollars at your disposal?

Yes, like an reasonable working adult. You don't need a thousand people to build one of these. You'd need a marine welder, marine electrician, and marine engineer. And probably a contact who can source and/or fabricate the materials.

But, again, I am not OP. I like not suffocating or drowning to death in a small, cramped space. They're still pretty cool to look at though.

>>31554832
Wing it and submerge very slowly

>>31556350

According to that report, which is put together by some USN dude on a drug interdiction force, they have captured 33 vessels since 1993. 22 of which are called Vigos which are basically just cigarette boats that sit just under the water, but allow the pilot to see above the surface out of a window.

10 of those 33 were full-on submersibles. The report is put together in a way that shows the subs technological progression over time. One of those guys above could carry 9 tons of cocaine at a time. It would pay itself off in one load. The boats are far less risky/expensive so I'm sure they're more numerous, but if the engineering has gotten so much better I'd bet there are more narco subs than ever.

i'm nearly 100% sure you are wrong. But my drunk ass cant be arsed to prove it. Now, it may be illegal in some states. I'll give you that for sure.

This is the key thing anon. If you're just dicking around in a local lake or close to shore you'd probably be fine. Maybe rig flags to mark where you are clearly.
