‘Building the Impossible’ – Submarine
Clients: BBC TV & The Discovery Channel
The aim of this program was to emulate the work of Dutch inventor Cornelius Drebbel for King James I in the early 1620’s by constructing an operational submarine using, as far as practicable, authentic seventeenth century boat building technologies, methods and materials. For the design of the evolving sub, Expedition did intensive design and analysis, and 3D visualisations and models for all the key components. This included pressure and stress calculations for an operational depth of 7m, buoyancy and stability analysis, buoyancy tank systems and pipework, test sequences and evaluation, safety protocols and much more….....
What the papers said…..:
“An extraordinarily beautiful wooden construction that really ought to be in Tate Modern” (The Guardian)
“They create and object of immense beauty, such as a wooden porpoise” (The Times)
“Like a mixture of Jules Verne and Heath Robinson”
“It’s crackers, but curiously that only makes this more interesting”
