Guppy

   The Guppy combines the aspects of children loving to play in the water and goes one step further. Using technology that is not new and using existing materials, the Guppy can entertain children for hours on end as well as be educational. Below are the following proposed features of the Guppy:

   The physical principle underlying the Guppy is expanding the child's imagination and teaching the child some simple physics. They can see how the gears turn the propeller, how added and releases air causes the sub to raise and sink. The age group is projected to be between the ages 5 and up but really it is limited by the weight of the child. I came up with the idea when I was thinking it would be cool to have your own sub. I remember watching a movie or TV show that had a guy who had a small personal sub and I thought it would be cool to have one. Making it for a child would be a little easier since they are lighter and smaller than an adult.
