Holland Submarine - Part2 - Navigation (work-in-progress)

- Part 2 of my project to animate the workings of Holland submarines (1902 - 1913). It is a work-in-progress animation, so may change if more information emerges. This video illustrates my thoughts on Navigation: the steering mechanisms, how the horizontal rudders were operated to control depth, steering by magnetic compass that is external to the steel hull. I am assuming there was a battery light in the top of the binnacle. This would presumably be replaced before each exercise, but these submarines would only venture out for a day or so. The Periscope is in two parts, a revolving upper tube with prism, and a static part for the helmsman. This arrangement results in the Helmsman’s image rotating. Ventilation on the surface is provided by three 3inch diameter 8 foot tubes, which have to stowed and sealed when dived. The hull diameter is just over 11 feet. A later addition (?) is a 10 inch ventilator to provide air for the petrol engine (or extract petrol and combustion fumes - it is not clear). I haven’t found any drawings of the external ventilator hatch so I use a representative hatch to show it must be fully secured before diving.
Crew of 8
The notes for the Part1 video give more information of the history of the Holland submarines in the British Royal Navy.
• Holland1 Submarine 190...
The next stage will look at the diving arrangements - the main ballast tank flooding and blowing arrangements, Kingston valves, the buoyancy tank, and fore and aft trim tanks. The tricky bit will be to model the machinery on the port aft end of the boat - ballast pump, air compressor, circulator pump. I find the drawings are very hard to interpret.

Fantastic work. Having stood in the 'real' one, it must have been hell to work in.
Beautiful work, sir. No wonder submarines didn't have a great reputation for a long time. Working in one would have been a miserable experience.
Another awesome video on a fascinating subject. I played the 'Houston Vibes Score' you used on previous videos as I watched this presentation and it fit like a champ. Keep up the great work! BTW, there don't seem to be any mechanisms in place to forward to you a small honorarium.
Thank you. You could support me on www.patreon.com/vbbsmyt if you wish.
Excellent work. I absolutely love these animations you make. It's just beyond fascinating seeing how these machines really work.
How many crew did it have?
Also, did you have to lie down on the deck to use the periscope?
The number of crew is in the wikipedia article about the Holland submarine.
Ого, they almost invented the snorkel!
Thanks а lot for your 3d masterpieces !
oh she did have a periscope never heard one war or another on that!!
Are all of your animations based upon John P. Holland’s patents? I am curious as I also study his work and accomplishments closely. Fantastic work! I’ll be showing these to my family to help them appreciate his accomplishments. Thank you for designing these animations!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Great explanation on the periscope imaging.
Thanks fer persevering, I have a machine that I need to trouble shoot and need inspiration.
That periscope was rubbish, I'm assuming someone clever eventually worked out how to stop the image inverting when looking around.
Most periscopes I have seen avoid this problem by rotating both of the prisms instead of just the upper one.
Is there room in this tiny submarine to actually walk around the periscope. I think not.
I wonder if another pair of prisms could be added, with one of them geared to cancel out the twisting of the image?
Yes, there were (foreign) complex designs for correcting the image orientation in 1906-7. But why bother? A reasonably competent seaman could identify a ship, and its angle-on-the-bow (relative course) regardless of the rotation of the image.
@@vbbsmyt surely a dove prism or something could simply be geared to it to correct for the rotation?
Small note: Your compass card image is backwards, compass angles increase clockwise so the East is 90° from North, and South another 90° from East to be 180°.
Not so. The compass card shown is the one installed in submarine A7 in 1905, so is equally likely to be used in Holland submarines. That is just the way they did things in the early 1900s
Very interesting ...many greetings from germany.....next U Boattyp....german submarien Typ IIV C ? / IX ...?
Torpedo compartment of a Type VII submarine is shown in this video.

I do not have proper drawings of the complete submarine.
Congratulations on the 101K 🎉
What a dismal yet innovative contraption.

Great job!!! Congratulations
Your work is such a pleasure! Magic
This thing looks like a death trap, so many failure points, when was this designed/made?
Please read the first line of my notes. For more information - look for my part 1 video.
Nice work.
Top video😀👍.
Amazing work. The crews of these things were brave men, that looks like a death trap waiting to happen.
Beautiful work, thank you for bringing this great vessel in history back to life.
Very nice

British landship one day?
do you mean the TOGs or the WW1 mark tanks?
