SUBMARINE HYDROCYCLE Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC B63C11/12 B63B3/00 B63H1/14 

FIELD: sports.

SUBSTANCE: invention concerns submarine equipment, particularly diver transportation and life maintenance aggregates in tourist diving or submarine operation support. Submarine hydrocycle includes open framing with seat, steering wheel, rudder, air dome open downwards, electric power source, sealed electric cruising and submersion motors. Air dome is rigidly attached to framing under the seat and includes sealed glass (windows) covered with transparent flat material. Window features blasting device at inner side. Air dome is pneumatically connected over step-down reducer to cylinder with compressed air. Electric motors feature devices generating excessive air pressure inside motors. Device includes ballast chamber, two water jet propellers: cruising propeller inside rear framing part and submersion propeller inside front framing part. Electric power source can be sealed or not. In the second case it should be placed in air chamber with uninterrupted small air flow supply under pressure. Controls and indicators are mounted on steering wheel.

EFFECT: reduced distortions of underwater surveillance, possible hovering at given depth, enhanced reliability of sealed units.
