Patent ID: 7841289

Claim:
A water level and/or sub surface water transporter and storage system for liquids and solids comprising: a. a towable fillable submergible streamlined ellipsoid shaped transporter hull with an interior with forward and rear towing attachment ends, a top with an air chamber, which when filled with air keeps the transporter upright and level during transport and provides rigidity for transport, fill ports and emptying ports in communication with the hull interior structured to fill the interior with air, solids, and liquids and then emptied from docks and/or surface vessels; said hull constructed of a material, which is collapsible, when empty, for lightweight transport in a transport mode, b. longitudinal ballast/buoyancy cells associated with the exterior of the hull, which are inflatable with gases or liquids to adjust buoyancy for the submerged transporter to be towed at a desired depth and act as pneumatic fenders c. a cordlike connecting spine passing through the hull to connect the towing attachment ends to provide longitudinal reinforcement to prevent longitudinal hull distortion during towing transport, d. surface towing vessel filling and emptying means associated during towing with the hull fill ports and emptying ports to inject air or gases, and e. a controller mounted on the surface towing vessel associated with the surface towing vessel filling and emptying means to adjust the air or gases in the bladders, ballast/buoyancy cells, and hull of the transporter to the required rigidity and buoyancy to tow the transporter at a desired speed and depth during transport mode, and to position and store the transporter at a desired storage location in a storage and/or unloading mode.
