“It does have a toilet.”
See the next to last paragraph.
I’m sure I saw a video yesterday of Rush showing the sub, including a toilet. It wasn’t exactly a bathroom, but there was a toilet. Maybe it was added after this German took his trip?
You both seem to know a lot about this sort of engineering. What fields are you in if you don’t mind me asking?
Late to their thread and just an old construction manager but (perhaps an engineer with materials expertise might chime in) I want to discuss carbon fiber. It is a real buzz word material but in my experience I saw it used or applied in instance where additional tensile strength or extreme light weight were needed. Compressive strength never seemed to me to be the strong suit for this material let alone any feature of it use in a woven manner.
Video of this hull being made shows carbon fiber ribbons being wrapped in one direction, much like thread onto a bobbin. Great for quick garden hose repair but seemingly nonsensical in this application.
Any opinions?
“Maybe it was added after this German took his trip?”
With only 2.5 meters of space there’s not a lot of room for even a small porta potty. Maybe a bucket.
Here it is - you only get a quick look at it. Yes, it is very small, but I imagine it could be a little composting head.
Given all the precautions they didn’t take, I guess they thought it was adequate for the numbers of people and periods of time they would be out there.

Toilet confirmed. In any case they’re all chum now.
The debris they’ve found may indicate it was catastrophic and fast. I hope so.
It is the first result using google or yt search.

Actually I watched this carbon fiber being made (woven)and applied - It was just 5 inches thick on the Titan. It was indeed experimental on the Titan for the pressures that would be experienced at the depths the Titan would go. No other sub is made of this carbon fiber.
