It's a bit cramped! Farmer granted patent for £500 submarine he built in two months… but there's barely room for ONE person

So what exactly is new and innovative about this that is worthy of a patent. Just goes to show the global patent system needs a complete overhaul.[CN]

所以这玩意哪里新奇和有创意了，还值得给它颁发个专利。只证明了全球专利体系需要来个全面检修罢了。

British eccentrics could do a lot better ![CN]

英国怪人可以做得更好！

I thought the South American Cartels already had that patent ?[CN]

我以为南美毒品组织已经有了这个专利呢。

He should incorporate 4 brass handles in the kit if he plans to sell them .... jeeez[CN]

他要想卖的话，就应该装4个铜把手在这家伙里...嘿嘿

Looks like a laugh. Its not like it could ever get deep enough that you couldn't just swim out of it if it went wrong.[CN]

跟个笑话似的。看着就像进不了深水，不然要是出故障了你都游不出来。

How can he get a patent for something that was invented during world war two ?? This idiot has not even painted the interior , and it is really corroded ( which most probably means it leaks badly ) .[CN]

这东西二战时就有了，他怎么还弄得到专利的？？这傻子都没给内部做涂装，里面被严重腐蚀（意味着很有可能会严重漏水）。

Looks like he's headed for Niagra Falls .[CN]

看着像去了趟尼亚加拉大瀑布。

Bravo to any inventor, but I'd have to wonder what the patent was for... that's pretty much exactly how the first submarines looked over a century ago when they were being invented, and then again in WWII with the midget submarines. Might be a novel experience for China to be granting patents rather than stealing them.[CN]

像所有发明家致敬，不过奇怪这专利是以什么名义颁发的，这东西跟100年前成功发明潜艇时的第一艘看起来一模一样嘛，而且后来二战时又有了小型潜艇。可能对中国来说颁发专利是个新鲜事吧，这次不是偷了。

You won't sink the HMS Royal Oak with that.[CN]

那玩意可击沉不了HMS Royal Oak。

The thought of going down in the water in that just makes my skin crawl.[CN]

光是想想靠这个东西潜水就让我害怕。

It is not a patent cert he got there. That is an operational licence for him to use the craft, very much like the western licence granted for prototype to operate in public for testing purposes...[CN]

他拿的跟我们所说的专利不是一回事。那就是个操作证书，允许他开罢了，跟西方在公共场所试验样机要获得的执照差不多。

Regardless of no air supply apart from a plastic tube. I am very impressed with the apparent stability of his ' Sub '. Does it have a deep keel ? Why did he put the waterproof top on his little boat ?[CN]

尽管没有供气设备，和其实是个塑料管子的事实，我还是对他这艘“潜艇”的稳定性很佩服的。是深吃水的龙骨船吧？干嘛要在小船上装个防水罩子呀。

china's navy will love this.[CN]

中国海军会中意这个。

It is not a patent cert he got there. That is an operational licence for him to use the craft, very much like the western licence granted for prototype to operate in public for testing purposes.[CN]

他拿的跟我们所说的专利不是一回事。那就是个操作证书，允许他开罢了，跟西方在公共场所试验样机要获得的执照差不多。

This guy looks like an idiot![CN]

这个呆瓜！
