In this Deconstructed video, we rebuilt the Peral submarine entirely in 3D, piece by piece, to understand how the first modern military submarine actually worked. We explore the submarine’s external structure, propulsion, battery system, and torpedo launch system in detail. We also created a detailed cutaway poster inspired by the video, showing the full internal layout of the submarine with labeled callouts highlighting both its external features and internal systems. 👉 Get the poster here, every order helps support the channel so we can keep creating projects like this: https://crowdmade.com/collections/deconstructed/products/deconstructed-peral-submarine-poster *(Giveaway ended)🎁 We are also giving one away.

The submarine was developed by Spanish engineer and naval officer Isaac Peral. Launched in 1888, it became the first fully electric military submarine capable of navigating underwater and maintaining a controlled depth. It incorporated several advanced features, including a torpedo tube, a periscope, an air regeneration system, and an innovative automatic depth-control device. Despite its success, the project was abandoned in 1890. Today, the submarine is preserved at the Cartagena Naval Museum in Spain, representing one of the most forward-thinking naval designs of its era.
