An 18-yek--old boy from New Jersey,Justin Beckerman,has built his own submarine (潜水艇) !
He calls it The Nautilus.
Justin spent six months and about $ 2,000 building the submarine from the parts he found in stores or online.
"I spent about one or two weeks designing it," Justin said in an interview. " I spent about two more weeks looking for all the parts."
The submarine uses ballast tanks (压载舱) to stay underwater. A ballast tank is part of a submarine that holds water. It lets in water to help the submarine go down and lets water out to help the submarine go up.
Justin also had to work out how to start the submarine. "The submarine has four battery systems (系统) 一three nain systems and one emergency (紧急情况) system,he said. The submarine's batteries allow it to move underwater for about two hours.
Testing a machine underwater can be dangerous,so Justin's parents keep a close watch on him every time he goes down.
He has also made an emergency plan to keep him safe if something goes wrong. He uses a PA system to communicate when he is underwater.
Justin has been building things since he was young" Justin starts with a dream,and he keeps it until Jie works out how to realize it," said Justin's dad. Justin has built other smaller submarines,but not all have been successful. One of them failed because its materials were not strong enough. But Justin kept trying,and finally built the working submarine he has now.

Throw a stone across the water and see how many times it skips (跳) .Have you played this game before? The more times the stone skips,the more cheers you will get. But do you know the secret behind its success?
With the help of high-speed cameras,scientists at Brigham Young University in the US have found out the secret skills of stone skipping.
The first step is to choose the right stone. " Use flat round stones (disc-shaped stones) , and find a weight that allows you to put a lot of spin on them," Tadd Truscott,an assistant professor,told The Huffington Post. Discs are usually easier to skip than rounded stones.
Then,here comes the key part: find the right angle. According to the Guinness World Records,the world record for stone skipping is 88 skips set in 2013 by an American called Kurt Steiner.
Professor Truscott said the skill depends on what angle the thrower chooses to throw a stone at. The best angle for discshaped stones is close to 20 degrees (度) . But the heavier the stone is,the flatter this angle should be.
If you find 20 degrees hard to measure,you can try another way. Give a great deal of backspin (下旋) to a rounded stone,so it will go under the water and then pop up and out of the water.
"To make it,you need to throw the stone at a much higher angle than for the usual skipping,M Truscott said to The Huffington Post.
71. What is the article mainly about?
It is mainly about.
72. How did scientists find out the secret skills of stone skipping?
They found out them.
73. What are the secret skills?
They are.
74. Who is Kurt Steiner according to the article?
He is an American who set in 2013.
75. What is the best angle for disc-shaped stones?
The best angle is.
