Six months ago, we reported on the "Nautilus" here. The submersible superyacht is a luxury project by Dutch boat builder "U-Boat Worx", which shines above water as a yacht with a pool and sun deck, and offers the legendary luxury of Jule Verne's fantastic fiction under water - only on the most modern level. All this can be read in the original article attached. Now "U-Boat Worx" has teamed up with the Italian design studio "Officina Amare" to design the interior - virtually for the time being, of course. The mezzanine deck located in the forward underwater hull offers plenty of cosy places with comfortable seating areas that can also be used in extended company.

Engineers at Rolls-Royce are working in an interdisciplinary team to develop a piece of the future for a company that has so far mainly manufactured diesel and gas engines: the first hydrogen combustion engine. For two years now, the team has been working intensively on the challenging combustion process of hydrogen. This is because hydrogen is extremely flammable: if only a small amount of it is present in the air, a small spark is enough to ignite the mixture. Although the engineers...
