“Tao Xiangli, a 34-year-old amateur inventor from China, spent two years building a fully-functional homemade submarine” Personally I would trust myself to a home made aeroplane rather than a submarine for the following simple reason. You have no guarantee that the submarine will return to the surface. With an aeroplane you know it will always return you to earth. Not always at the speed and angle you would like but there are no aeroplanes up there waiting to be salvaged but the bottom of the sea is full of wrecks.

Note the little Conning Tower that will just fit  your top hat in this  Steam Powered Submarine.  Definitely Steampunk.

The Aussie’s hate the “Yellow Submarine Song”. Probably because the Barmy Army have their own words for it “You all live in a convict colony, a convict colony, a convict colony” I don’t suppose they like “Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer” any better. “Ricky the red-faced captain   Leads a side in trouble and strife    Both he and Ryan Harris    Couldn’t score to save their life” I think it’s rotten kicking the Baggy Caps when they are down. and dangerous too, because they’ll come back 10 times stronger.Then we’ll see who is singing.

What was most fascinating about this incident is the steam pouring from the tall vent. Steam buffs will be aware that the sub is Steam powered, no coal fired boilers though, the Nuclear reactor boils the water to power the ship just as in a land Nuclear power station. Steam is far from dead. On the other hand the Captain may well decide to do the decent thing with his Navy revolver. Running aground indeed.

Real Steampunk. ‘Few Victorian inventions have the grace and charm of the Ictíneo, the series of two wooden submarines built by Narcís Monturiol i Estarrol in the second half of the nineteenth century.’ “The thinking at the time was that it was almost impossible to run a steam engine underwater because it would use up all the oxygen and convert the inside of the ship into an oven. To overcome this, Monturiol invented a chemical furnace based on a reaction between potassium chlorate, zinc and manganese dioxide - a process that produced enough heat to boil water to run the steam engine. To complement this ingenuity, the reaction gave off oxygen as a by-product.” Click Picture
