- The following footage shows two trips of the private submarine "Euronaut" to the wreck of "Sandtrans" and to the unnamed wreck field off the German island Darss in Baltic Sea. The trips took place in july and august 2015 with a purpose to train the crew.
"Sandtrans" was a Danish suction excavator, which sank on september 15th 1978. Overall length 60 m (197 ft) and lays keel up with the max depth of 12 m (39 ft). Min. depth at the highest point 5 m (16 ft). The typical visibility is below 5 m. The day we visited the wreck it was even much worse.
"Euronaut" is a private project of a research and diver support submarine around Carsten Standfuss - a German naval architect. It has been designed between 1988 and 2000. Then it took another 12 years to build it on holidays, weekends and after work. Most systems on board are second hand and homebuilt.
The sub has overall length of 16 m (52 ft), surface displacement of 57 tons and is capable of diving up to 250 m (820 ft).
Transit speed is up to 6 knots with a 190 hp diesel engine. Electric drive measures 40 kW.
The life support system provides air for the crew of six persons for a week. The diving chamber allows saturation dives to the depths similar to the operational depth of the submarine.

I think it's the first time i see a sub with hiperbaric chamber and a hole for diving. Makes possible long dives without decompression. It's a sub well suited to find out where those spanish ships went down with all the inca gold inside
Astronaut Gordon Cooper documented a bunch of shipwrecks that I'd love to go explore!
What I wonder about is how they prevent the dive chamber from filling up with water once they open the bottom hatch that gives them acces to the water outside of the sub. I assume the air pressure inside the sub is at 1 bar, and depending on the depth the sub is at the water pressure is several bar, so wouldn't the water rush in and completely flood the dive chamber unless the pressure inside is increased above 1 bar to match the water pressure outside?
The diving chamber is a separate compartment with the internal pressure adjusted to the ambient while the hatch is open. The rest of the sub has 1 bar internal pressure. Both compartments are separated by a pressure-proof bulkhead.
Actually under water pipe repairmen go in a small ball(kinda like a sub) and there's a hole in it so they can dive
You have to admit Germany and subs go together like knockwursts and sauerkraut!
@Jarrold Bates - "Zey are cleverly camouflaged to look like cooking gas tanks in case ve are boarded and searched by an American or British landing party, Herr Kapitän!"
@Jure Herman - Oh ye of little faith! If German voters would stop electing softhearted Greens and Socialists to the Bundestag and start electing more Christian Democrats and right-of-center deputies and like-minded chancellors then Germany might yet recover her martial spirit and use her industrial brilliance to build first-rate weapons systems once again--including submarines.
LONG LIVE CORNELIUS DREBBLE!
@Jure Herman K-19 K-219 K-189 K-141 K-278 K-429, Yeah Russian submarines are fantastic.
All you germans lost the right to submarines awhile ago lol
there are people in south America that would love to buy your sub..you should go to production.
haha
I'd buy it
The cartels would be unstoppable at this point. :/
LOL!
James L. Walsh they alredy doing it u can build a submarine wit thigs that have everybody at home
There are a few documetaris out there.
If this doesn't inspire someone, I don't know what will.
Probable a home build spaceship?
I thought you would have to be crazy to trust a home made sub.then i saw the flag....
alles gut
Alles klar
Alles wunderbar!

If that's the amateur version, please show me the professional version. Excellent build, very impressive.
Professional version? The Navy has them. But I get what you are trying to say.
@@966Mako Doesn't necessarily say they have the professional version since the building contracts are normally awarded to the cheapest bidder. Might explain some of the mishaps with various navies submarines in the past.
@@chrisest6715 only electric boat builds subs in the us there is no other bidder
@@the_retag I don't live in the States, but Wikipedia says with the Virginia class subs there are 2 contractors with over 4 000 suppliers.
@@chrisest6715 then i may be mistaken i dont live there either but sure is that there are very few builders of big subs in the world

Stunning creation. I have been obsessed with submarines most of my life, you built my dream. Such a challenging project, well done!
I'm going out on a limb and calling this a semi pro job.
It's literally in the video description smh

@@computername yup, I completely missed that one! 😋
This seriously incredible on so many levels. Did they get the recognition they deserved for such a feat? It gets my thumbs up as well as my belief in mankind.
That was awesome that's the first time I've ever seen something like this excellent
Excellent work! It is great to see people achieve their dreams after working so hard towards their goals. The time you all took to educate yourselves and the number of years that you stuck with the project to see it through to its fruition is something to be extremely proud of. Thank you for sharing your project. Your creation is beautiful!
Amazing! This must have cost a fortune.
This has captured my interest in a way that nothing else has done for a very long time - it's an incredible project (if that's the right thing to call it?). The fact that +Deep Blue Sea actually take the time to answer people's questions is even more amazing. How do you even start/get involved with a project like this?
I joined 7 years ago as a student. A coleague told my about project and it was only 100 km away from my place. I asked if I can take some pictures of the sub for my collection and helped to put some lead ballast into the bilge instead. That's how it started. It was 3 years before the launch.
Incredible, simply incredible. Love the chance to go for a dive in one of these once in my life.
1:23 love that the sub pilot has a brewski on the side
fair does that is a very well made and designed sub and it has a hole to get out of underneath amazing job
Wow what an amazing build and video..very impressive, thanks for sharing
Your engineering ability must be incredible because there’s zero room for errors lol. Very very impressive piece of kit. I’d love to see more
A beautifully built boat, and (to my landlubber eyes) it looks immaculately maintained. The submariners who go down in these vessels are a breed apart to me. I would have to be heavily sedated before anyone could stuff me down a metal hatch into a long metal tube which then submerges under water and could have thousands of feet of abyss under its hull. That thought terrifies me, but to these guys it looks like just another day at the office.
What an amazing piece of ingenuity, thanks for the cool video & the beautiful song
of course it's german
but all races and people's are totally the same;)
Not really.
id say germans are pretty good engineers XD
and america is good at...blowing stuff up, i guess?
Bernhard Blietz
You understand that many Americans are of European descent right?
@@chingghishan5707 of course it was just a joke
Somebody please clean that hull!
Luiz Fellipe Carneiro Hahaaahaaaaa that green carpeted Hull was the wreck they were diving on! That is a pretty furry Hull though ain't it!!!?????
I distinctly saw that it was the sub. ):
And the dead body of that girl
Luiz Fellipe Carneiro are you going to pay to dry dock her?
@@zoesdada8923 you dont need to dry dock a boat to clean the hull
Thanks for letting me hear the actual sub...
Its a good step forward towards wonderful subs, that are not weaponized by governments.
The Kriegsmarine wants to know your location.
Absolute genius and his crew built this sub! Magnificent!!!!
Hey its a U-Boat!!!
lol he use his submarine to search for sunken U-Boat
FalconAviator88 probably for parts lol
Unless ur german its "Submarine" and if u are u just mispelled it its U-boot
Lucidly Waking Looking back 3 years yeah I did lmao. Im from the US and at the time I wasnt taking german, so yeah sorry about that lol
@@lucidlywaking7286 Yea, but this IS a German submarine, so......
A real-life Captain Nemo. I am totally blown away!
This was amazing. Is there a documentary on how this was built?
This has inspired me to build my own sub out of corrugated pipe. An 18 year old did it so why can't I? You guys are amazing by the way. If I lived in Germany I would love to see it!
Amazing contraption :)
important equipment is shown at 1:22
FantasticPyroclastic yeah saw it too!
The beer bottle..
because of the euronaut iwant to build my own submarine truly inspiring submarine
Great video 📹
Thanks for showing us around
Australia 🌏
I watch these videos four or five times a day
How many forward and aft tubes does it have? Countermeasures? Passive and active sonar?
Looks like a u Boat and its German built cool
Amazing. Not a small feet of engineering at all. Somewhat humbling in a time when being able to "code" or make an "app" are considered the pinacle of technical achievement.
Hmmm, you mean like the progranmmers who wrote the code for the CAD programm used to deisgn this sub
but sure, keep complaining old man!
So why did youtube mute your guys video. Looked very professional. Not something I would of guessed amateur built and piloted. Great Video Guys. Stay safe out there.
Amazing sub. Looks very pro to me.
Really good music that fits this video.
That is very cool!
Impressive! It would be interesting to learn more about the folks who built this sub!
That’s the coolest thing I’ve ever seen.
pretty cool makes me want one!
How was it made, how long, with what materials engineering and nautical sections and how much did it cost and was this a private venture?
That is so awesome. Love the video 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤❤
So inspiring, makes me want to create...
*my own homemade depth charges!*
Easy just take a big barrel load it with tightly packed gunpowder and add a charge
Out of curiosity, what has this submarine been built for? Are you guys part of a university or technical school team? It looks so amazing. I wish i could do something like this in my thesis undergraduate project.
My bad if my questions are repetitive. I looked over your website, but i know no German(still learning).
1.) The project is full-private and is a personal hobby of the crew, which designed and built it. There is no authority or university behind it. Only some crazy dudes. :-)
2.) The homepage has an English version aus well, although not everything is translated properly.
Smuggling MDMA for the Love Parade man!
Incredible! The sub isn't bad either! ;)
You gotta hand it to German Engineers 👍
Northern European engineers in general are brilliant at making submarines, both "amateur" and commercial/military! Before the Euronaut there was the Nautilus, a Danish submarine made by a group of amateurs that was only slightly smaller but of comparable capability (minus the diving chamber). Sadly the project leader ended up luring a young Swedish journalist into the sub, and while at sea he raped and murdered her. The Danish autorities arrested and prosecuted him, for which he's now rightfully serving a life sentence, but sadly if I'm not mistaken the sub was seized as evidence in the case and eventually scrapped by the government :-(
Please allow me to say that this is so cool. If I had the time I would ask a whole much of questions about it. Great job!
Pretty sweet!
Beautiful
I assume this is horrendously expensive yet majorly cool.
Beer holder in a submarine 👍👍
Amazing, congratulations!
2:57 with built in spanktravision above the bed.
There’s a beer in the cupholder.... you can’t be more any more German.
Einfach nur genial ein kindheitstraum 👍🙂
Hut ab da habt ihr wirklich was Atemberaubendes auf die Beine gestellt! Wenn ich mal im hohen Norden bin schreibe ich euch auf jeden Fall mal würde mich freuen euer Boot mal live zu sehen selbst wenn es nur von außen ist. :)
Wann kann man mit eurem ersten atomgetriebenen boot rechnen? ;-P
I would think that there would be a lot of work for a small sub such as that. -Mainly in doing underwater inspections, especially where cameras can take images.
The moon pool is amazing!
Amazing
Soooo cool! It'd be **awesome** to have your own sub!
amazing! its a dream..
That's amazing guys! Impossible is nothing. May I visit you (your submarine) one day?
I just wonder if your profession/work is related to that what you've done.
Alles Gute!
+Oskar Dumanski visit our homepage: www.euronaut.org and write an email. Interested people are always welcome. 😊
I would love to be part of the crew on this. Pretty cool.
What is the max depth? Is it a double pressure hull? What are you using for scrubbers?
250 m operational, 320 m test depth. it is a single hull. Soda lime in own-designed scrubbers. Two scrubbers per compartment plus an smaller one for the CIC
So when you dive on a sub like that as you go down is it just like going down on scuba pressure wise? For example: the sub is under enough pressure to keep the water from coming in a hole big enough for a man to get through. So you cant just shoot to the surface in a sub like that depending on how long or deep you went. You would have to use a scuba table and ascend to its limits right? You could easily even decompression dive in that thing or even saturation. You would need a oxygen generator to do saturation diving. And a big bank or co2 absorber too. Man that's so freaking cool.
Only the diving chamber is pressurized with the hatch open. The rest of the compartments are normobaric. So no need for decompression for the nautical crew. Only divers.
Awesome boat, what'd you use for the hull?
S355J2 construction steel. (Equivalent to A656 in the US)
Im to what the overall cost was to build it?
Name of the song please? I believe its not the one listed on the description
Oops! It's correct now.
does the sub feature drop weights in case of an emergency?
Yes, it does. Three jettisonable keel plates with total weight of 3 metric tons. By releasing them, the submarine generates a reserve of buoyancy of approx. 5,3%.
A thing of beauty...
that is so cool wiah i had the engineering skills to build 1 or money to buy 1
how cool is THAT!!!!!
Wow nice
What do you use this vessel for? How deep can it dive?
Euronaut is the private research submarine. It is used for archaeological research of shipwrecks. A kind of citizen science. The operational diving depth is 250 m.
This is cool
Wow, one trip from Columbia to Australia and that thing would pay for itself!
I'm 14 and I want to build a submarine where do you think I should start ? Like what should I create my sub out of
Hey there! At 2:57 theres a hole with the water under the submarine, How does it not come up into the submarine? I know its physics but I am terrible with this stuff and i've seen the same thing in underwater labs and houses please tell me, thanks! :)
The pressure inside the diving chamber is the same as in the ambient water because some compressed air is blown inside.
Oh okay, Could you tell me what this kind of thing is called? Specifically to submerines and stuff, Thanks :)
I don't get it
I'm saying is there a specific name for those types of hatches? Also Hi after 11 months!
Why would youtube mute it!??
I dont suppose you show Das Boot or U571 on this do ya?
can you close that diving hatch, and what is the weight for (as I was typing the hatch was closed) Beautiful video
Luke Furtek, the weight is a back-up anchor. It allows to move the bow of the submarine up and down to give enough space for the divers to quit.
+Deep Blue Sea Cool, thanks.
Nice
Do they come in any other colours?
Very impressive. My life long dream actually.
I love the video. I think if it's extremely awesome to privately a build Submarine and take it for a spin every now then. What is the background music?
Music: Grass - Silent Partner
How deep can the sub go and still use the dive hole in the bottom of the submarine?
its on the description. can use it as low as the subs operational depth
Oh no the Bosche are trying to rebuild their U-Boat fleet!
Lel.
How often does the exterior of the sub need to be cleaned of all the usual clinging sea life? Annually, sooner than that, or a much longer time?
For enviromental reasons the boat didn't receive an antifouling. Scratching the barnacles was necessary every couple of months. Currently she gets a new paint job, but no idea which one is it going to be.
@@Wrackzeichner Thanks! Appreciate the answer.
The first submarines destined for war couldn't go as deep as this one.
I was thinking the same thing, 820 feet wow
It was called "The Turtle". It was built in 1775 by American David Bushnell as a means of attaching explosive charges to ships in a harbor, for use against Royal Navy vessels occupying North American harbors during the American Revolutionary War. He built an eight-foot-long wooden submersible that was christened the Turtle for its shape. Large enough to accommodate one operator, the submarine was entirely hand-powered. Lead ballast kept the craft balanced. It could only go about 20 under water.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_submarines
The first what I’d call real submarine was 1624 and rowed under tge surface of the Thames.
This sub is mighty impressive, my main fear besides small spaces and being deep underwater would be if you leave the sub and it's not where you parked it when you come back?
Subjacking?
Sweet!!!
I loved the idea and the machine, congratulations to the whole team.
But I'm curious, is It possible to pressurize the sub's main compartment turning the whole vessel in a decompresion chamber?
+Waggoner Kranmer, jes, it's possible, but where are the benefits. Making such a large compartment wit all the electric equipment oxygen clean is a pain in the ass of the lifetime.
+Deep Blue Sea I was worried with the possibility of the increase of pressure, damage lcd screens (have fluorescent lamps), little gauge or another thing who can be sealed in a environment pressure.
The reason for asking that is because I read the description of the sub telling the great autonomy!!
So I was thinking... Euronaut can be a excellent habitat for aquanauts do some research or exploration. Divers will be able to live several days underwater, But with mobility, something who a normal habitat can't provide.
It will work just like a trailer for underwater vacations. (Bad analogy)
PS.: Thanks for answer. I really loved your work!!! Good day from Brazil!!!
+Waggoner Kranmer, This would be certainly a possibility, but advantages of being a mobile habitat would be eaten with the problems of making the whole compartment hyperbaric. This is not only about making internal equipment pressure-proof. It is about to get it Oxygen-clean. Otherwise every drop of oil or fat somewhere inside could lead to spontaneous self-ignition. This is much easier to control in a pressure chamber, but impossible in a fully-functional submarine. Other problem. if the whole sub were hyperbaric, the whole crew is an object to decompression, when the mission is over and it would take days, just like in case of saturation divers. Noone can just open the hatch and go out in case of emergency, no outlook on the bridge, not even someone to throw a rope on the peer, when back in port. :-)
Looks like she's ready for a scrub up and new paint job😉
This takes me back ! 😀
Wow would love to dive from that sub.
