The Power of Fabian Paul
Fabian wanted to create a submarine that allowed him to move underwater among sharks. Both engineers and fellow ocean explorers thought it couldn't be done. So Fabian called Eddie Paul, a stuntman turned engineer who brought robotic figures to life in Hollywood films. They worked on a prototype for nearly two years, testing out many different materials and propulsion systems. Early tests in pool water were a disaster. The sub struggled to float and was hard to maneuver. But finally they came up with a working prototype - dubbed their mechanical shark, Troy.
