ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Graham Hawkes - Inventor
A world-renowned engineer and inventor, Graham Hawkes wants to revolutionize the way we experience the oceans. He created the Deep Flight series of winged submersibles, which "fly" to the depths of the oceans with the power and elegance of an airplane.

Why you should listen

Graham Hawkes has created a new generation of high-tech undersea vessels that truly augment the way terrestrials experience the immense, otherworldly habitats of the oceans. His Deep Flight submersibles look like airplanes and behave like ocean creatures, using their wings and unique propulsion to gracefully soar and somersault into the deep -- giving their pilot an unprecedented 3D perspective. According to his website, Hawkes' designs account for a "significant percentage of manned and unmanned vehicles used by science and industry."

Hawkes leads Hawkes Ocean Technologies, whose submersibles were featured in James Cameron's 3D IMAX film, Aliens of the Deep. His company also produced the WASP and Mantis Atmospheric Diving Suits, built to facilitate undersea pipelaying. Hawkes currently holds the world record for the deepest solo dive -- 3,000 feet -- using one of his own inventions, the Deep Rover submersible.

I think the future未来 of this planet行星 depends依靠 on humans人类,
0
0
4000
我想地球的未来取决于人类自身,
00:22
not technology技术, and we already已经 have the knowledge知识 --
1
4000
3000
而非技术,而且我们已经意识到这一点。
00:25
we’re回覆 kind of at the endgame结束游戏 with knowledge知识.
2
7000
3000
我们有点儿快到达知识终点的感觉,
00:28
But we’re回覆 nowhere无处 near the endgame结束游戏
3
10000
1000
但要是说到对“感知”的认识,
00:29
when it comes to our perception知觉.
4
11000
2000
我们离这个终点却还很遥远。
00:31
We still have one foot脚丫子 in the dark黑暗 ages年龄.
5
13000
4000
我们的一只脚还在中世纪的黑暗时代中。
00:35
And when you listen to some of the presentations简报 here --
6
17000
3000
当你们在这里听到有些演讲,
00:38
and the extraordinary非凡 range范围 of human人的 capability能力, our understandings理解 --
7
20000
8000
谈及人类非凡的才能和认知,
00:46
and then you contrast对比 it with the fact事实
8
28000
3000
然后你们把它跟事实对比一下
00:49
we still call this planet行星, "Earth地球:" it’s pretty漂亮 extraordinary非凡 --
9
31000
4000
我们仍然叫这个行星“地球”,真是相当的不可思议。
00:53
we have one foot脚丫子 in the dark黑暗 ages年龄.
10
35000
2000
我们的一只脚在黑暗时代里。
00:55
Just quickly很快: Aristotle亚里士多德, his thing was, "It’s not flat平面, stupid, it’s round回合."
11
37000
8000
这里只快速点一下,亚里斯多德,他声称,它不是平的,它是圆的。
01:03
Galileo伽利略 -- he had the Inquisition宗教裁判所, so he had to be a little bit more polite有礼貌 --
12
45000
5000
伽利略,受宗教裁判所的压力,他必须稍微礼貌一些。
01:08
his was, "It’s not in the middle中间, you know."
13
50000
5000
他说,你们要知道它不在中心。
01:13
And Hawkes霍克斯: "it’s not earth地球, stupid, it’s ocean海洋."
14
55000
5000
而霍克斯说,它不是地球,笨蛋,它是海洋。
01:18
This is an ocean海洋 planet行星.
15
60000
2000
这是一个海洋行星。
01:20
T.S. Eliot艾略特 really said it for me --
16
62000
2000
艾略特已经替我说得很好了-
01:22
and this should give you goose bumps颠簸:
17
64000
2000
这段话会让你起鸡皮疙瘩:
01:24
"we shall not cease停止 from exploration勘探
18
66000
2000
“我们不应当停止探险,
01:26
and the end结束 of our exploring探索 shall be to return返回
19
68000
3000
而到达探险终点时,我们应该回到
01:29
where we started开始 and know the place地点 for the first time."
20
71000
4000
出发的地方,并第一次真正了解它。”
01:33
And the next下一个 lines线 are, "Through通过 the unknown未知 remembered记得 gate,
21
75000
4000
接下来的一句是,“穿过未知的门,
01:37
where the last of earth地球 discovered发现
22
79000
2000
地球最后被发现的角落
01:39
is that which哪一个 is the beginning开始."
23
81000
4000
即是我们开始了解它的地方。”
01:43
So I have one message信息.
24
85000
3000
于是我便得到一个信息,
01:46
It seems似乎 to me that we’re回覆 all pointed in the wrong错误 direction方向.
25
88000
5000
我觉得我们似乎都在朝错误的方向走。
01:51
For the rocketeersrocketeers in the audience听众:
26
93000
3000
在座的火箭专家们,
01:54
I love what you’re回覆 doing, I admire欣赏 the guts胆量,
27
96000
3000
我喜欢你们所做的一切,我敬佩你们的胆识,
01:57
I admire欣赏 the courage勇气 -- but your rockets火箭
28
99000
1000
我敬佩你们的勇气,但你们的火箭
01:58
are pointed in the wrong错误 goddamn该死 direction方向.
29
100000
3000
正在朝超级错误的方向飞。
02:01
(Laughter笑声)
30
103000
4000
(笑声)
02:05
And it’s all a question of perspective透视.
31
107000
2000
这完全是看问题的角度问题
02:07
Let me try and tell you --
32
109000
2000
让我试着来跟你们说说。
02:09
I don不要’t mean to insult侮辱 you, but look,
33
111000
3000
我不想冒犯你们,但是,
02:12
if I -- and I’m not doing this for real真实
34
114000
2000
如果我——我不会真的这么做,
02:14
because it would be an insult侮辱,
35
116000
1000
因为这会是个侮辱,
02:15
so I’m going to pretend假装, and it softens软化 the blow打击 --
36
117000
2000
所以我会假装,舒缓一下语气。
02:17
I’m going to tell you what you’re回覆 thinking思维.
37
119000
2000
我来说说你们正在想的东西。
02:19
If I held保持 up a square广场 that was one foot脚丫子 square广场 and the color颜色 of earth地球,
38
121000
4000
如果我拿起一块1平方英尺的方块,颜色代表地球,
02:23
and I held保持 up another另一个 square广场 that was the root two square广场 --
39
125000
6000
再拿起一块根号2平方英尺的方块,
02:29
so it’s 1.5 times bigger -- and was the color颜色 of the oceans海洋;
40
131000
4000
即比第一个大了1.5倍,颜色代表海洋
02:33
and I said, what is the relative相对的 value of these two things?
41
135000
3000
请问,这两者间有什么相关关系?
02:36
Well, it’s the relative相对的 importance重要性.
42
138000
1000
就是二者间的相对重要性。
02:37
You would say -- yeah, yeah, yeah, we all know this;
43
139000
3000
也许你会说,是,是,是,我们都知道,
02:40
water covers盖子 twice两次 the area of the planet行星 than dry land土地.
44
142000
5000
地球上水覆盖的面积是陆地的两倍。
02:45
But it’s a question of perception知觉,
45
147000
1000
但这是一个观念上的问题。
02:46
and if that’s what you’re回覆 thinking思维,
46
148000
2000
如果这就是你们所想的,
02:48
if that’s what you think I mean when I say,
47
150000
2000
我是说当我提到这个海洋星球被愚蠢地叫做地球时
02:50
"This is an ocean海洋 planet行星 stupidly愣神 called 'Earth'地球.'"
48
152000
3000
你们想的就是这个的话,
02:53
If you think that that’s the relative相对的 importance重要性,
49
155000
3000
如果你认为这就是它们的相对重要性,
02:56
two to one, you’re回覆 wrong错误 by a factor因子 of ten.
50
158000
4000
2比1,那你就错了,错了10倍。
03:00
Now, you’re回覆 not as thick as two short planks木板,
51
162000
2000
你不会觉得自己跟这两片木板一样的厚吧?
03:02
but you sound声音 like it when you say "Earth地球,"
52
164000
3000
但是,你说“地球”时就好象是这么认为的,
03:05
because that demonstration示范, if I turned转身 around this way --
53
167000
5000
这是因为演示的关系,如果我把它这样转过来,
03:10
that earth地球 plane平面 would be as thin as paper.
54
172000
6000
地球平面就会跟纸一样薄。
03:16
It’s a thin film电影, two-dimensional二维 existence存在.
55
178000
3000
这是个薄层,以二维形式存在。
03:19
The ocean海洋 representation表示 would have a depth深度 to it.
56
181000
3000
而海洋的演示会表现出深度。
03:22
And if you hefted those two things
57
184000
2000
而且如果以体积来衡量二者,
03:24
you might威力 find that the relative相对的 scale规模 of those is 20 to 1.
58
186000
5000
你会发现它们的相对比例是20比1.
03:29
It turns out that something more than
59
191000
3000
事实上超过94%的地球生命
03:32
94 percent百分 of life on earth地球 is aquatic.
60
194000
4000
是水生生物。
03:36
That means手段 that us terrestrialsterrestrials occupy占据 a minority少数民族.
61
198000
5000
也就是说我们这些陆生者只占据了很小的一部分。
03:41
The problem问题 we have in believing相信 that
62
203000
2000
我们在思想上有个问题,
03:43
is -- you just have to give up this notion概念
63
205000
2000
我们必须放弃
03:45
that this Earth地球 was created创建 for us.
64
207000
2000
地球是为了我们而存在的想法。
03:47
Because it’s a problem问题 we have.
65
209000
2000
因为我们确实有这个问题,
03:49
If this is an ocean海洋 planet行星
66
211000
2000
如果(意识到)这是个海洋行星
03:51
and we only have a small minority少数民族 of this planet行星,
67
213000
4000
而我们只拥有其一小部分的话,
03:55
it just interferes干涉 with a lot of what humanity人性 thinks.
68
217000
5000
人类的很多想法都会有所不同。
04:00
Okay. Let me criticize批评 this thing.
69
222000
3000
好的,下来我要批评一个事情。
04:03
I’m not talking about James詹姆士 Cameron卡梅伦 --
70
225000
2000
我说的不是詹姆斯·卡梅隆,
04:05
although虽然 I could, but I won韩元’t.
71
227000
2000
虽然我可以,但我不打算这么做。
04:07
You really do have to go and see his latest最新 film电影,
72
229000
2000
你们真的有必要去看下他最新的电影,
04:09
"Aliens外星人 of the Deep." It’s incredible难以置信.
73
231000
3000
《深海异形》。不可思议的电影。
04:12
It features特征 two of these deep rovers流浪者,
74
234000
2000
里面描述了两架这种深海探测器,
04:14
and I can criticize批评 them because these sweet things are mine.
75
236000
4000
我批评它们,因为这些可爱的东西是我的。
04:18
This, I think, represents代表 one of the most beautiful美丽
76
240000
2000
这个,我想,是最漂亮的
04:20
classic经典 submersibles潜水 built内置.
77
242000
3000
经典潜水器之一。
04:23
If you look at that sub, you’ll see a sphere领域.
78
245000
4000
仔细看这个潜水器,你会看到一个球体。
04:27
This is an acryclicacryclic sphere领域.
79
249000
1000
这不是一个可以轮转的球体。
04:28
It generates生成 all of the buoyancy浮力,
80
250000
2000
它的全部浮力的产生,
04:30
all of the payload有效载荷 for the craft手艺,
81
252000
2000
全部载重的放置,
04:32
and the batteries电池 are down here hanging underneath,
82
254000
2000
电池悬挂在下方,
04:34
exactly究竟 like a balloon气球.
83
256000
2000
就好象热气球一样。
04:36
This is the envelope信封, and this is the gondola贡多拉, the payload有效载荷.
84
258000
4000
这是气囊,这是吊篮、载荷。
04:40
Also coming未来 up later后来 for criticism批评 are these massive大规模的 lights灯火.
85
262000
5000
接下来要批评的,还有这一大堆的灯。
04:45
And this one actually其实 carries携带 two great manipulators机械手.
86
267000
3000
这一个,携带有两个很大的机械手。
04:48
It actually其实 is a very good working加工 sub --
87
270000
2000
这确实是一个非常好的工作装置,
04:50
that’s what it was designed设计 for.
88
272000
3000
这也是它的设计目的。
04:53
The problem问题 with it is --
89
275000
2000
它的问题所在,
04:55
and the reason原因 I will never build建立 another另一个 one like it --
90
277000
2000
也是我永远不会再建一个这种潜水器的原因,
04:57
is that this is a product产品 of two-dimensional二维 thinking思维.
91
279000
5000
就是这是一个二维思维的产物。
05:02
It’s what we humans人类 do when we go in the ocean海洋 as engineers工程师;
92
284000
3000
作为工程师,我们人类深入海洋的思维方式就是这样。
05:05
we take all our terrestrial陆生 hang-ups杭起坐,
93
287000
3000
我们把自己所有在陆地上的困扰,
05:08
all our constraints限制 -- importantly重要的,
94
290000
2000
所有的限制,特别是
05:10
these two-dimensional二维 constraints限制 that we have,
95
292000
3000
这些二维思维的限制,
05:13
and they’re回覆 so constrained受限 we don不要’t even understand理解 it --
96
295000
3000
它们的束缚如此之深以至于我们甚至意识不到,
05:16
and we take them underwater水下.
97
298000
2000
而我们把这些都带到了海里。
05:18
You notice注意 that Jim吉姆 Cameron卡梅伦 is sitting坐在 in a seat座位.
98
300000
4000
你们可以看到卡梅隆正在里面坐着。
05:22
A seat座位 works作品 in a two-dimensional二维 world世界,
99
304000
2000
一个在二维世界中存在起作用的座椅,
05:24
where gravity重力 blasts爆炸 down on that seat座位, OK?
100
306000
5000
是重力把人按在座椅上的,OK?
05:29
And in a two-dimensional二维 world世界,
101
311000
2000
而在一个二维世界中,
05:31
we do know about the third第三 dimension尺寸
102
313000
1000
我们知道第三维,
05:32
but we don不要’t use it because to go up
103
314000
2000
但并不会利用它,
05:34
requires要求 an awful可怕 lot of energy能源 against反对 gravity重力.
104
316000
3000
因为要向上飞需要很多的能量来克服重力。
05:37
And then our mothers母亲 tell us,
105
319000
1000
然后母亲告诉我们,
05:38
"Careful小心 you don不要’t fall秋季 down" -- because you’ll fall秋季 over.
106
320000
4000
没有跌倒也要小心,因为你还会掉下来。
05:42
Now, go into the real真实 atmosphere大气层 of this planet行星.
107
324000
5000
现在,进入这个行星真正的大气层。
05:47
This planet行星 has an inner atmosphere大气层 of water;
108
329000
4000
这个行星具有一个由水组成的内部大气层。
05:51
it’s its inner atmosphere大气层. It has two atmospheres气氛 --
109
333000
2000
这就是内部大气层。它有两个大气层。
05:53
a lesser较小, outer gaseous atmosphere大气层, a lighter打火机 one.
110
335000
4000
外面一个是小点的,气体的大气层,重量较轻。
05:57
Most of life on earth地球 is in that inner atmosphere大气层.
111
339000
4000
地球上绝大多数的生物生活在内部大气层里。
06:01
And that life enjoys享受 a three-dimensional三维 existence存在,
112
343000
3000
这些生物的享受着一个三维立体的生活空间,
06:04
which哪一个 is alien外侨 to us.
113
346000
3000
对我们来说这简直天方夜谭。
06:07
Fish do not sit in seats.
114
349000
4000
鱼儿不会坐在椅子里。
06:11
(Laughter笑声)
115
353000
1000
(笑声)
06:12
They don不要’t. Their mothers母亲 don不要’t say to little baby宝宝 fish,
116
354000
6000
它们不会。鱼儿的妈妈也不会对它们说,
06:18
"Careful小心 you don不要’t fall秋季 over."
117
360000
2000
没有摔倒你也要小心。
06:20
They don不要’t fall秋季 over. They don不要’t fall秋季.
118
362000
3000
它们不会摔倒,不会的。
06:23
They live生活 in a three-dimensional三维 world世界
119
365000
1000
它们活在一个三维的世界里,
06:24
where there is no difference区别 in energy能源
120
366000
2000
在那里,向这个方向,或那个方向,
06:26
between之间 going this way, that way, that way or that way.
121
368000
3000
所需要的能量是没有区别的。
06:29
It’s truly a three-dimensional三维 space空间.
122
371000
2000
这是一个真正的三维空间,
06:31
And we’re回覆 only just beginning开始 to grasp把握 it.
123
373000
2000
而我们才刚刚开始理解它。
06:33
I don不要’t know of any other submersible潜水,
124
375000
3000
我不知道其他潜水器,
06:36
or even remote远程, that just takes advantage优点
125
378000
4000
甚或是遥控潜水器,
06:40
that this is a three-dimensional三维 space空间.
126
382000
3000
有没有想到利用这种三维空间。
06:43
This is the way we should be going into the oceans海洋.
127
385000
2000
这才是我们迈向海洋所要采用的方式。
06:45
This is a three-dimensional三维 machine.
128
387000
3000
这就是一个三维的机器。
06:48
What we need to do is go down into the ocean海洋 with the freedom自由 of the animals动物,
129
390000
3000
我们要做的就是像那些动物一样,
06:51
and move移动 in this three-dimensional三维 space空间.
130
393000
2000
在这个三维的海洋空间里遨游。
06:53
OK, this is good stuff东东.
131
395000
1000
这确实是好东西。
06:54
This is man’s first attempt尝试 at flying飞行 underwater水下.
132
396000
3000
这是人类第一次尝试在水下飞翔。
06:57
Right now, I’m just coming未来 down on this gorgeous华丽, big, giant巨人 manta曼塔 ray射线.
133
399000
6000
此刻,我正在水下和这只漂亮的,巨大的鲾鲼一起。
07:03
She has twice两次 the wingspan翼展 that I do.
134
405000
3000
她的翼展是我的两倍。
07:06
There I’m coming未来; she sees看到 me.
135
408000
2000
我开了过去,她看到我。
07:08
And just notice注意 how she rolls劳斯莱斯 under and turns;
136
410000
4000
请注意她是如何翻滚和转体。
07:12
she doesn没有按’t sit there and try and blow打击 air空气 into a tank坦克
137
414000
2000
她不是坐在那里,也没有通过鼓气到槽罐里
07:14
and kind of flow up or sink水槽 down -- she just rolls劳斯莱斯.
138
416000
4000
来控制上浮或下沉,她就是翻转。
07:18
And the craft手艺 that I’m in --
139
420000
2000
而我的飞船——
07:20
this hasn不是招’t been shown显示 before.
140
422000
2000
这是第一次在这里展示的。
07:22
Chris克里斯 asked us to show显示 stuff东东 that hasn不是招’t been shown显示 before.
141
424000
3000
克里斯让我来这里秀一些从未展示过的东西。
07:25
I wanted you to notice注意
142
427000
1000
我希望你们注意到
07:26
that she actually其实 turned转身 to come back up.
143
428000
3000
她实际上是翻个身又转回来的。
07:29
There I am; I see her coming未来 back,
144
431000
3000
那就是我;我看到她回来了,
07:32
coming未来 up underneath me.
145
434000
2000
从我下面游上来。
07:34
I put reverse相反 thrust推力 and I try and pull gently平缓 down.
146
436000
3000
我翻转推进,想慢慢地往下。
07:37
I’m trying to do everything very gently平缓.
147
439000
2000
我试着很小心地做这一切。
07:39
We spent花费 about three hours小时 together一起 and she’s beginning开始 to trust相信 me.
148
441000
3000
我们花了大概三小时,她逐渐开始信任我。
07:42
And this ballet芭蕾舞 is controlled受控 by this lady淑女 here.
149
444000
4000
而这位“女士”也主导着这支“芭蕾”。
07:46
She gets得到 about that close and then she pulls away.
150
448000
3000
一到完结,她就转身离开了。
07:49
So now I try and go after her, but I’m practicing flying飞行.
151
451000
6000
我试着要去追她,但我还在练习怎么飞……
07:55
This is the first flying飞行 machine. This was the first prototype原型.
152
457000
4000
这是第一架会飞的潜水器。这是最原始的雏形。
07:59
This was a fly by wire线. It has wings翅膀.
153
461000
5000
这是次连接导线的飞行。它拥有翅膀,
08:04
There’re回覆 no silly愚蠢 buoyancy浮力 tanks坦克 --
154
466000
2000
没有愚蠢的浮箱。
08:06
it’s permanently永久, positively积极 buoyant轻飘.
155
468000
3000
它具有持久的浮力。
08:09
And then by moving移动 through通过 the water
156
471000
1000
通过在水中的运动,
08:10
it’s able能够 to take that control控制.
157
472000
2000
它能够控制自如。
08:12
Now, look at that; look, it’s -- she just blew自爆 me away.
158
474000
3000
现在,看,看——她刚刚把我刮走了。
08:15
She just rolled热轧 right away from underneath.
159
477000
4000
她刚刚从下面翻了个跟斗,
08:19
Really that’s the only real真实 dive潜水 I’ve已经 ever made制作 in this machine.
160
481000
6000
这是我在这台机器里唯一一次真正的下潜。
08:25
It took 10 years年份 to build建立.
161
487000
3000
它花了10年时间建成。
08:28
But this lady淑女 here taught me, hah, taught me so much.
162
490000
6000
但这位女士教了我,教了我太多东西。
08:34
We just learned学到了 so much in three hours小时 in the water there.
163
496000
4000
我们在水里才三个小时就学到了这么多。
08:38
I just had to go and build建立 another另一个 machine.
164
500000
2000
我需要再去建造一架机器。
08:40
But look here. Instead代替 of blowing tanks坦克
165
502000
2000
但看这里,没有液体舱,
08:42
and coming未来 up slowly慢慢地 without thinking思维 about it,
166
504000
2000
不用考虑上升有多么缓慢。
08:44
it’s a little bit of back pressure压力,
167
506000
2000
背部有些许压力,
08:46
and that sub just comes straight直行 back up out of the water.
168
508000
3000
潜水器直接可以往后退来到水面。
08:49
This is an internal内部 Sony索尼 camera相机. Thank you, Sony索尼.
169
511000
6000
这是一个内置的索尼摄像机。感谢索尼。
08:55
I don不要’t really look that ugly丑陋,
170
517000
2000
我并没有里面看起来那么丑,
08:57
but the camera相机 is so close that it’s just distorted扭曲.
171
519000
3000
但摄像机太近了,有点变形。
09:00
Now, there she goes, right overhead高架.
172
522000
2000
看,她就在那,在头顶上。
09:02
This is a wide-angle广角 camera相机.
173
524000
1000
这是个广角摄像机。
09:03
She’s just a few少数 inches英寸 off the top最佳 of my head.
174
525000
4000
她就在我头上几英寸的地方。
09:07
"Aah啊哈, ha, oh, he just crossed越过 over the top最佳 of my head about,
175
529000
7000
“啊哈,噢,他刚刚从我的头上掠过,
09:14
oh, I don不要’t know, just so close."
176
536000
5000
噢,我不知道,太近了。”
09:19
I come back up, not for air空气.
177
541000
1000
我往上开了一点,不是为了补充空气。
09:20
"This is an incredible难以置信 encounter遭遇 with a manta曼塔. I’m speechless说不出话来.
178
542000
6000
“这次零距离接触鲾鲼真是令人难以置信。我激动得不知怎么说了。
09:26
We’ve已经 been just feet apart距离. I’m going back down now."
179
548000
3000
我们的距离就1英尺。我现在要再下去。”
09:29
Okay, can we cut that? Lights灯火 back up please.
180
551000
3000
好的,可以停了吗?请打开灯。
09:32
(Applause掌声)
181
554000
5000
(掌声)
09:37
Trying to fly and keep up with that animal动物 --
182
559000
3000
想要“飞行”并跟上那只动物并不容易,
09:40
it wasnWASN’t the lack缺乏 of maneuverability机动性 that we had.
183
562000
4000
并非我们缺少机动性,
09:44
It was the fact事实 she was going so slow.
184
566000
2000
而是她实在游得太慢了。
09:46
I actually其实 designed设计 that to move移动 faster更快 through通过 the water
185
568000
4000
实际上我的设计就是要在水中更快地活动,
09:50
because I thought that was the thing
186
572000
1000
因为我的想法就是
09:51
that we needed需要 to do: to move移动 fast快速 and get range范围.
187
573000
3000
我们需要飞得快,飞得远。
09:54
But after that encounter遭遇 I really did want to go back with that animal动物 and dance舞蹈.
188
576000
4000
但那次遭遇之后,我真想再回去跟她一起舞蹈,
09:58
She wanted to dance舞蹈.
189
580000
3000
她想要跳舞。
10:01
And so what we needed需要 to do was increase增加 the wing翅膀 area
190
583000
3000
我们要做的就是增加翅膀的面积
10:04
so that we just had more grip, develop发展 higher更高 forces军队.
191
586000
4000
这样才能更好地控制,动力更强。
10:08
So the sub that was outside last year -- this is the one.
192
590000
3000
去年这架潜水器就制造出来了,就是这个。
10:11
You see the larger wing翅膀 area here.
193
593000
4000
你们可以看到这儿有面积更大的翅膀。
10:15
Also, clearly明确地, it was such这样 a powerful强大 thing,
194
597000
2000
而且,这还是件很有影响力的事情,
10:17
we wanted to try and bring带来 other people
195
599000
1000
我们希望能带动其他人
10:18
but we couldn't不能 figure数字 out how to do it.
196
600000
2000
一起参与进来。
10:20
So we opened打开 the world世界’s first flight飞行 school学校.
197
602000
2000
所以我们开设了世界上第一家“飞行”学校。
10:22
The rational合理的 for the world世界’s first flight飞行 school学校
198
604000
3000
这世界上第一家(海洋)飞行学校的合理性
10:25
goes something like: when the coastguards海岸警卫队 come up to me and say --
199
607000
3000
搞成这个样子:当海岸警卫队找到我,跟我谈话,
10:28
they used to leave离开 us alone单独 when we were diving潜水
200
610000
3000
在我们过去用这些愚蠢的圆形玩意潜水的时候,
10:31
these goofy高飞 little spherical球形 things,
201
613000
2000
他们对我们不闻不问。
10:33
but when we started开始 flying飞行 around
202
615000
1000
但当我们开始在在水下驾驶喷气式飞行器
10:34
in underwater水下 jet喷射 fighters战士 they got a little nervous紧张 --
203
616000
3000
飞行的时候他们倒有点紧张了。
10:37
they would come up and say,
204
619000
4000
他们会冒出来说,
10:41
"Do you have a license执照 for that?"
205
623000
3000
你有许可证吗?
10:44
And then I’d put my sunglasses墨镜 on, the beard胡子
206
626000
2000
听了这话,我把太阳镜拿下来,
10:46
that would all sprout发芽 out, and I would say,
207
628000
2000
我会说
10:48
"I don不要’t need no stinking license执照."
208
630000
3000
我不需要什么狗屁许可证。
10:51
(Laughter笑声)
209
633000
3000
(笑声)
10:54
"I write these stinking license执照," which哪一个 I do.
210
636000
3000
我写了这些讨厌的许可证,真的写了。
10:57
So Bob短发 Gelfond's葛尔方的 around here --
211
639000
2000
所以Bob Gelfons在这儿呢——
10:59
but somebody in the audience听众 here has license执照 number 20.
212
641000
4000
但听众中有些人拥有20号许可证。
11:03
They’re回覆 one of the first subsea海底 aviators飞行员.
213
645000
3000
他们是第一批的海底飞行员。
11:06
So we’ve已经 run two flight飞行 schools学校.
214
648000
3000
我们举办了两期飞行学校。
11:09
Where the hell地狱 that goes, I don不要’t know, but it’s a lot of fun开玩笑.
215
651000
5000
这事今后怎么发展我不知道,但确实充满乐趣。
11:14
What comes next下一个 in 30 seconds? I can’t tell you.
216
656000
5000
接下来30秒有什么?我不能告诉你们。
11:19
But the patent专利 for underwater水下 flight飞行 --
217
661000
3000
但说到水下飞行的专利,
11:22
Karen卡伦 and I, we were looking at it,
218
664000
2000
凯伦和我正看看这事儿的发展
11:24
some business商业 partners伙伴 wanted us to patent专利 it --
219
666000
2000
有些商业伙伴希望我们申请专利。
11:26
we weren间没有’t sure about that.
220
668000
1000
我们不确定。
11:27
We’ve已经 decided决定 we’re回覆 just going to let that go.
221
669000
2000
我们已经决定不去管它。
11:29
It just seems似乎 wrong错误 to try and patent专利 --
222
671000
3000
申请专利对水下飞行的自由而言,
11:32
(Applause掌声)
223
674000
1000
(掌声)
11:33
-- the freedom自由 for underwater水下 flight飞行.
224
675000
2000
似乎不是一件正确的事情。
11:35
So anybody任何人 who wants to copy复制 us
225
677000
1000
因此无论谁想仿效我们,
11:36
and come and join加入 us, go for it.
226
678000
3000
尽管行动,并加入我们,去吧。
11:39
The other thing is that we’ve已经 got much lower降低 costs成本.
227
681000
5000
另一件事情是,我们的成本已经降低很多。
11:44
We developed发达 some other technology技术
228
686000
1000
我们发展了其他一些,
11:45
called spider蜘蛛 optics光学, and Craig克雷格 VentnerVentner asked me
229
687000
4000
称为“蜘蛛光学”的技术,克雷格·文特也要我
11:49
to make an announcement公告 here this morning早上:
230
691000
2000
今天早上在这里做一个声明。
11:51
we’re回覆 going to be building建造 a beautiful美丽, little,
231
693000
2000
我们将建造一个漂亮的,小型的,
11:53
small version of this -- unmanned无人, super deep --
232
695000
3000
这种潜水器,无人驾驶,能潜得超级深,
11:56
for his boat to go and get back some deep sea DNA脱氧核糖核酸 stuff东东.
233
698000
5000
为他的考察船采集深海的DNA样品。
12:01
(Applause掌声)
234
703000
3000
(掌声)
12:04
Thank you.

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Graham Hawkes - Inventor
A world-renowned engineer and inventor, Graham Hawkes wants to revolutionize the way we experience the oceans. He created the Deep Flight series of winged submersibles, which "fly" to the depths of the oceans with the power and elegance of an airplane.

Why you should listen

Graham Hawkes has created a new generation of high-tech undersea vessels that truly augment the way terrestrials experience the immense, otherworldly habitats of the oceans. His Deep Flight submersibles look like airplanes and behave like ocean creatures, using their wings and unique propulsion to gracefully soar and somersault into the deep -- giving their pilot an unprecedented 3D perspective. According to his website, Hawkes' designs account for a "significant percentage of manned and unmanned vehicles used by science and industry."

Hawkes leads Hawkes Ocean Technologies, whose submersibles were featured in James Cameron's 3D IMAX film, Aliens of the Deep. His company also produced the WASP and Mantis Atmospheric Diving Suits, built to facilitate undersea pipelaying. Hawkes currently holds the world record for the deepest solo dive -- 3,000 feet -- using one of his own inventions, the Deep Rover submersible.
