We know little about the ocean yet.

We know little about the ocean yet. The dream of exploring under the waves is almost as old as seagoing. Legend says that Alexander the Great submerged himself in a round glass container, and Leonardo da Vinci designed a submersible vehicle in his notebooks centuries before Jules Verne wrote «Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea». If their dreams had been realized and such a craft had been constructed, mankind would have known about the secrets of Ocean much earlier. However, already during the Swiss National Fair in 1964 a submersible vehicle took thousands of people deep into Lake Geneva.
Not long ago, the crafts that penetrated the ocean depths were almost as primitive as the marine life they watched around them. However, non-military deep sea ships, so-called submersibles, were progressing rapidly. Russian, French, Japanese and American scientists are developing crafts that can submerge deeper, stay longer and find out more than earlier apparatuses.
Soon, one of the most advanced crafts, a one passenger submerging ship, will be tested. It may be able to take explorers and technicians deeper than ever before (up to 3,300 feet) and perform difficult underwater tasks with extreme precision.
This new submersible is essentially a spherical transparent plastic hull1 mounted on a metal platform. It looks like an underwater helicopter and can manoeuvre itself in its water environment with some of the versatility of a helicopter due to the use of a cycloid rotor instead of conventional marine-propeller screws. It is expected that this apparatus will move around the ocean like a sports car.
However, the breakthrough that will make this particular с quite different from other manned submersibles is a mechanical hand called the sensory manipulator system. Miniature video cameras on the «wrist» of the manipulator provide it with vision and microphones enable the submersible to «hear». This manipulator system is designed to lift up to 120 pounds and will also be able to perform such accurate scientific work as collecting samples of ocean-floor minerals and marine life. When demonstrated, it lifted crystal glasses, drew pictures and wrote with a pen.
Some scientists are trying to develop the world's deepest manned submersible. When completed, it will be capable of submerging to the depths of 21,000 feet. Its crew will be in a pressure-resistant titanium-alloy cabin. This craft will be driven by a battery-operated electric motor and will work for up to nine hours. It will record images with colour television and stereo cameras and will collect samples by manipulating two robotic arms.
If such crafts are constructed on a large scale, we shall be able not only to spend our holidays enjoying the underwater life, but also grow and cultivate sea plants, fish and pearls. It will be possible provided scientists, designers and politicians from all over the world join their efforts and solve the most important problems in this field.

Мы мало знаем о океан еще. Мечта прогулок под волны почти так же стара, как морские. Легенда гласит, что Александр Великий погружать себя в круглой стеклянной посуде, и Leonardo da Vinci разработаны погружные транспортное средство в его ноутбуков веков, прежде чем Жюль Верн написал «Двадцать тысяч лье под водой». Если их мечты были реализованы, и таких судов было построено, человечество бы знали о секретах океана гораздо раньше. Однако, уже в Швейцарской национальной ярмарке в 1964 году погружной автомобиль взял тысячи людей глубоко в Женевское озеро.Не так давно ремесел, которые вторглись в глубинах океана были почти как примитивные, как морской жизни, которую они смотрели вокруг них. Однако военно-глубокое море корабли, так называемые подводные аппараты, быстро прогрессирует. Русский, французский, японский и американский ученые разрабатывают ремесла, которые могут погружаться глубже, остаться дольше и узнать больше, чем предыдущие аппараты.Вскоре один из самых передовых ремесел, один из пассажиров, погрузив корабль, будет проверяться. Это может быть в состоянии принять исследователей и техников глубже, чем когда-либо ранее (до 3300 футов) и выполнять сложные подводные задачи с предельной точностью.This new submersible is essentially a spherical transparent plastic hull1 mounted on a metal platform.
