The still empty machine room after being sandblastet and painted. The connector of the exhaust door is in sight on the ceiling, the bottom boards on the main floor. On the left you can see the frame for the workbench and gas cylinders, on the right the engine fundament. Frank, Ingo, Andre and Carsten installed the machine room on a single day, a TV team made a short film about it.

The beginning of the setting up of the machine room. The engines of the high-pressure bilge pumps, the ceiling lights and also the electric net is installed.

Above the head of the steventube the first high-pressure compressors is installed while the second one is on the way. His place is gonna be behind the workbench under the electrics. Under the workbench, the bottom boards and the engine fundaments the high-pressure gas cylinders were placed. Also in sight: The bilge pumps.
Actually Ingo is mounting the workbench.

The dieselelectric engine. In sight at the front is the diesel, behind it is the boat turnaround drive, angular above the electric engine and generator. The drivebelt, which runs the engine as a generator from the layshaft, is now well in sight. At the end bulkhead behind the drive is the servo for the rear adjustment tanks valve.

The yellow protect-cover made from stainless steel was bolted at the entry to protect the machine room from weather. It also copies the area in front of the flange to make it easier to calculate the rooms dimension. The thing in the upper right is the electric exhaust door.

A hard day of work comes to an end.

André on the way from the front section to the machine room. Upper left the exhaust door (well in sight here), left to it the chain hoist and the prow wherewith the installation was done. Prow and chain hoist will stay in the boat serving as hanging for the muffler. Also newly installed was a vice at the workbench.

Beginning of the build of the exhaust system: muffler (over the dieselengine) and exhaustdoor with watercollector.

Complete overview of the diving chamber in direction to the machine room, shot at the end of september 2005.

Picture shot in february 2007. The internal piping is aborning...

Diver chamber pressure test Juli 2007. The chamber will be filled with water.

The first steps to build our on bow- and stern- thruster with 24 V DC and each 9 Kw.

The bow thruster in the pipe first time - just preinstalled.

The exterior outfitting of the sub in may 2008.

Installation of the outside pressure bottles below deck with Board own tempoary crane david.

15 units of 50 Liter pressure bottles are now below the superstructure.

Start of the Filler work. The sub gets in the bow and stern area a teardrop shape.

Emile messured the exact internal diameter of the mainbelt wheel on a special meassure table made from marmor in the workshop of a company run by friends.

Carsten install the mainbeltwheel on the CNC miling machine.

Emile made the centeraxis of the mainbeltwheel.

The finish mainbelt wheel. Outside alu, center made from steel. The wheel will be attachtet to the mainpropellershaft by the pressure-conection-cylinder vissible in the center of the wheel.
