Zhang Shengwu, a 51-year-old farmer, received a Chinese government patent for a submarine he design and built himself for around 5,000 Yuan (€670 / $760) in the Chinese city of Maanshan in Anhui province, Thursday.
Despite the small size of the submarine, which barely has enough room for one person, measuring six metres (20 ft) long and 60 cm (2 ft) wide, Zhang Shengwu received a patent certificate from the State Intellectual Property Office. The home-made vessel can only travel up to seven nautical miles per hour and dive to a depth of one metre.
According to the farmer and inventor, he spent two months building the one-man vessel while his wife was away visiting her mother. Zhang says his next plans are to build a nautical rescue boat.
