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>
