Underwater Explorer
The underwater explorer of de Collange and Jobard solves the problem of air supply, but at the cost of manoeuvrability - the air pipe would need to be flexible and extensible. Date: 1855

1855 Cost Diving Explorer Manoeuvrability Operations Pipe Problem Supply Under Water
EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from 1855 depicts the Underwater Explorer, an ingenious underwater exploration device designed by French inventors Émile de Collange and Charles-Antoine Jobard. The Underwater Explorer was a significant advancement in underwater research and investigation, as it addressed the long-standing problem of supplying air to divers for extended periods. The explorer is shown here with its distinctive air pipe, which was a crucial component of the design. The pipe, which was both flexible and extensible, allowed the explorer to descend deep into the water while maintaining a connection to the surface for air supply. However, this solution came at a cost: maneuverability. The rigid air pipe limited the explorer's ability to move freely underwater, making it more difficult to navigate through complex underwater environments. Despite this limitation, the Underwater Explorer was a groundbreaking invention that paved the way for future advancements in underwater exploration and diving technology. The device enabled scientists and researchers to conduct extensive underwater operations and studies that were previously impossible due to the lack of reliable air supply systems. The Underwater Explorer was not designed for commercial use, but rather for scientific exploration and research. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the history of underwater exploration and the innovative solutions that have shaped our understanding of the deep sea and its mysteries.
