Will the Uscull ever come off the drawing board and into reality?

“I would love to turn this vision into reality as that would be really fulfilling. As a designer, seeing real, usable objects take shape from your sketches and models is one of the greatest feelings. However, to realize a vehicle of this scale you need funding. As far as U-scull goes, it will stay on my drawing table for a while” he laughs.

“There are many ways the spirit of my project could proceed - submarine journeys offer a new perspective on underwater life and it would be quite viable to build a comparatively cheap underwater vehicle for safely observing sea life in a dry environment – after all, that’s something most people can only experience in zoo’s. Today, submarine journeys are only available to a chosen few.”

Milko Ozlu can be contacted on uscull@home.se for those who wish to discuss the possible commercial development of his project.
