Curious machine

What is it? A car? A boat? A submarine? The answer is: all three! Welcome to the twin-seat Amfibidiver.

The machine was created by a self-taught Belgian engineer, René Baldewijns. It was constructed through the imaginative use of such items as a sailing-boat hull, the fuel tank of a plane, two bicycles and motors from five electric wheelchairs.

The Amfibidiver has apparently been tested and functions in all its stated roles. It has featured at several Belgian boat shows and on Belgian TV, but it may now find a home at Britain's pending Land, Air and Sea Museum.

The museum's founder, Douglas Hilton, is still finalising a site to house a range of curious machinery, including hovercraft, submarines, flying cars, and amphibious cars and planes. But he has launched a website giving details about the project and planned exhibits - including the Amfibidiver.
