Abstract :
A submarine is a clandestine platform of watercraft for independent operation beneath water. In order to surpass under water she must obey some ground laws specially Archimedes principle with taking consideration of its flexible and economic structure and propulsion systems design. The main purpose of this research is to design and fabricate a prototype submarine to make experimentally available. The need for economic innovative design to ensure smart structure, propulsion, diving system and efficient power system has focused in the implemented prototype. The propulsion and power systems are provided by motor and battery. Depth rating comparison with other resplendent submarine makes the prototype unique in some cases. To submerge hydrostatically this research on designing basically implies Archimedes principle and buoyancy force, where negative buoyancy exerted either by increasing its own weight or decreasing its displacement of water.
