Sub zero – manned submersible powered by fins

 

Powered by fins, Sub zero is a manned submarine for research as well as work purposes. What makes this model so unique is that the drive is up to 60% more efficient because it simulates the swimming movements of fish through “fluidic muscles.” The strength hull of the passengers, the high speeds it can reach, and its ability to dive dynamically result in its high-caliber performance.
