During the rescue of 13 boys trapped in Chiang Rai's cave in northern Thailand , experts from various countries including the Thai government sprained their heads, Mr. Ellon Mask, who heads SpaceX and Tesla, will remodel rocket parts So I developed a "submarine" that can safely carry a boy who can not swim, and released the movie.

To go to a place 5 kilometers ahead from the entrance where the boys are on standby, it is necessary to divert a few places in the water accumulated by long rain, and it is difficult to divert the rescue team divers Work is required. Some boys can not swim, and even a skilled diver can manage to do the harsh mission of rescuing with dangerous submersible instantly instantly managed, and many escape operations The expert is twisting wisdom .

Meanwhile, Mr. Mask of the idea man declared support for SpaceX's space development technology as soon as possible and presented the idea of ​​"making a small submarine for boys using the liquid oxygen transport pipe of the Falcon rocket" It was. There are many narrow places in the cave, and the size of the small submarine is severe. Mr. Mask seemed to think that liquid oxygen transport pipe for Falcon rocket could be used with feedback from Thai experts.


This is a small submarine that remodeled the liquid oxygen transport pipe. It is a premise to fill liquid oxygen, so strength is sufficient.



A small submarine has a handle to which the diver pulls.



And a diving test was conducted using a small submarine prototyped at the pool in Los Angeles, USA.




A test that can get through a narrow place.


After testing for 3 hours, it seems that they have carried out air transport to Thailand as soon as possible. I understand the speed of Mr. Mr.'s decision and the ability to act away from us.


Mr. Mask answered, "The diameter of the tube is 31 cm (so it's okay)" to question whether it can get through the complicated cave.


On July 8, 2018, the Thai government dared to escape strategy because there is a danger that the situation will deteriorate from the weather forecast. Six out of 13 people were rescued .

Ultimately, due to a sudden change in the situation, Mr. Mask 's small submarine is unlikely to be used for rescue, Mr. Mask said, "Even if it can not be used in Thailand, it will be useful when the situation is similar in the future" I commented.
