Not only did he describe the machine, but he also explained, in great detail, how it worked. In fact, today&rsquo;s submarines use exactly the same technology as Verne&rsquo;s Nautilus did!</p> <figure class="image-medium has-caption"> <a href="https://www.pitara.com/media/how-does-a-submarine-work.jpg" aria-label="Link to larger image"> <img src="https://www.pitara.com/media/how-does-a-submarine-work_hu_1a8d81694e785304.jpg" srcset="https://www.pitara.com/media/how-does-a-submarine-work_hu_cfdb7b753707930e.jpg 320w, https://www.pitara.com/media/how-does-a-submarine-work_hu_1a8d81694e785304.jpg 900w" sizes="(min-width: 900px) 900px, 320px" alt="How does a Submarine Work?" height="600" width="900" loading="lazy"> </a> <figcaption>How does a Submarine Work?</figcaption> </figure> <p>How does a submarine float and dive under water at will?</p>https://www.pitara.com/news-for-kids/world-news/trapped/Thu, 14 Oct 1999 13:24:40 +0000https://www.pitara.com/news-for-kids/world-news/trapped/<p><strong>Where: Russia</strong></p> <p>August 19, 2000: The <em>Kursk</em>, an ultra-modern Russian nuclear-powered submarine has sunk. Its crew has been trapped underwater for over a week now. In fact many might already be dead. By denying that it was a serious accident and by not launching serious rescue efforts in the beginning, the Russian government has reduced their chances of survival further…</p> <p>The submarine&rsquo;s ability to stay for long periods underwater, is an absolute marvel of science. Actually, this is due to its capsule-like body. Adequate oxygen and food supplies enable submarine crew to survive under the sea for long periods. It&rsquo;s a self-contained little world far removed from the world you and I live in.</p>https://www.pitara.com/non-fiction-for-kids/did-you-know-for-kids/the-first-successful-submarine-was-built/Fri, 15 Oct 2004 15:14:35 +0000https://www.pitara.com/non-fiction-for-kids/did-you-know-for-kids/the-first-successful-submarine-was-built/
