There are several reasons why the GhostManta Submersible Vehicle has been designed to resemble a marine animal. They pertain to an aesthetic reference to its function, its effectiveness as a conveyance and its success at blending in with the oceanic ecosystem. The primary purpose of the watercraft is to study life in the big blue by documenting the activities of the organisms that surround it.
Having modeled their concept on the manta ray, Caan Yaylali and Sebastian Campos have conceived a vessel that would capably glide through the water with minimal work from the on-board motor and water jet. It would have a natural look about its swift movement below the surface for maximum efficiency and unthreatening grace. The GhostManta Submersible Vehicle would be equipped with a high definition 3D video recorder to capture an accurate picture of life in the sea.
Why This Trend Is Growing
- Biomimicry Submersibles
- Designing submersible vehicles that are modeled after marine animals to increase efficiency and blending with oceanic ecosystems.
- Underwater Creature Study
- Developing submersible vehicles with specialized high definition cameras for the documentation of marine mammals and other organisms in the big blue.
- Efficient Submarine Conveyance
- Creating streamlined and efficient submersible vehicles that require minimal work from their onboard motors and water jets for movement in the water.
Industries Being Reshaped
- Marine Biology
- Incorporating the use of biomimicry submersibles in marine research to improve the understanding of life in the sea.
- Oceanography
- Developing underwater vehicles that would enable scientists to study oceanic organisms at close range and in detail for research purposes.
- Underwater Exploration
- Creating efficient and effective underwater vehicles for exploration, salvage and rescue missions that are modeled after marine life for blending in with the aquatic surroundings.
