Analysis of the Batychron research project

The article presents the research project called ‘Batychron’. Batychron is a flexible underwater bell patented by the Gdynia Maritime University as a ‘device applicable in hydraulic engineering for underwater transport and diving with the safety of human life’ (patent number: PL192265 B1, Int. Cl B63C 7/12; B63C 11/44). Users of this device claim that the Batychron is the most revolutionary invention in the field of human activity underwater. Thanks to its advantages and low price, the Batychron may well become a device as common as the parachute in aviation in the future. The first prototype of the device was made in 2002. In 2021, after almost 20 years of using the Batychron in a marine environment, the Student Special Interest Group of Underwater Research “Sea Quest” operating at the Gdynia Maritime University decided to make a modified (improved) model of the device from modern materials (more durable) and prepare it for real sea trials. The main purpose of the article is to present the Batychron project construction and its application.
