The complete debriefing that followed after we finished our diving and propulsion tests. Includes a small discussion from KP on what actually went on and how we managed to achieve neutral buoyancy in the water.

Proper test done to see if the submarine was diving properly or not and to verify if the trimming was correct. Weight distribution was OK and Piston Tank response was good.

Trying out the Lafayette at FLANK SPEED. It was everything we ever dreamed of. Even the braking (by reversing the prop) was damn good!!! Everyone watching thought we'd hit the wall except me:)

Initially, we dove the submarine near the side of the pool and emptied the piston tank at full speed to see how soon it would surface. It quickly breached the surface as we hoped it would do in times of emergency.

A short clip of our submarine doing its first underwater run. It was just below the surface for a good part, showing off the control that only a piston tank can give us.

Shot by the poolside, this clip narrates the functioning of the entire system with the various sections explained in detail.

In this clip, Imran has explained the on-board drive systems and how water is drawn in to the piston tank.

This clip shows the 4 channel radio system, how the drive to the motors is given and mentions how significant underwater RF attenuation is.
