The Innerspace Dolphin and other water vessels are designed to look and behave like actual dolphins. They have a small engine in the back and controls that allow the driver to dive, jump, barrel roll similarly to a dolphin. The smaller of the dolphin models costs around $50,000 and became available this spring for water enthusiasts world wide. Dolphin boat concept is came from variable attitude submersible hydrofoil that was invented by Dusty and Doc in 1987 who’s real names are Thomas Rowe (as Doc) and Dennis Kaiser (as Dusty).

It is very interesting that people can create underwater vessles to look like sea creatures. It would be really cool to get up close and personal with a great white shark. The only downfall I see with this invention is that it is too costly for the average Joe to buy it. It seems like only the rich can buy this invention.
ReplyDeleteI agree with craig. It seems to be very costly. Im not sure either what it does to help the enviroment or anything else for that matter. However it is really cool, and if i could own one i think i would.
