The process of creating the body of the flash drive "diving helmet" do it yourself.

And so, you should start with a short history of the appearance of the diving suit itself and the helmet itself. Man, by nature, is constantly searching for something and discovering for himself everything new and interesting in our world. Conquers mountain peaks and air spaces, as well as the depths of the sea. But without technical means, this would be hardly possible.

So for the development and study of the deep sea, a diving suit was invented. His first samples were rather bulky and heavy, here is an example on (photo) Air in such a suit was supplied through a flexible hose attached directly to the diver's helmet. Air was pumped through the air duct using a compressor. Having become acquainted with the history and carefully studying the presented samples, the master set to work. First of all, the author took a copper pipe (from the air conditioner) and sawed off the piece he needed, sawed it along and straightened it. The resulting plate must be burned with a burner, so the copper will become soft and supple. The master touches the shape of the blanks with a glass ball and nut, tapping with a hammer.Here is the result.Next begins the creation of the helmet.Windows are drilled with a drill.From 10 penny coins issued before 2006, the author makes the upper part of the helmet.Continues work where there are a lot of small details.Here is such a helmet.Then the finished product is placed in an ammonia bath.And then the helmet was covered with a patina.Next, the author makes a stand under the helmet.And again placed in the bath.With patination finished.After which the master goes directly to the manufacture and fitting of the flash drive itself.Here's what happened.Pasta GOI and velvet took off part of the patina and here is the result.Detachable helmet housingAnd by tradition, control photographs of the finished product.What a wonderful flash drive that our author got, it’s just a drop in the eye, and most importantly, it very closely matches the original, which is quite important for lovers of such things of a marine theme.
