The founder of Tesla and SpaceX, Elon Musk, announced on his social networks that he had a team of engineers working on the development of some underwater capsules that could be used to save the eight Children of a football team who are trapped in a cave in Thailand.

The device is already tested in a swimming pool in Los Angeles and consists of an elongated ball shaped metal capsule, which would be connected to separate tubes through which the necessary oxygen would enter to complete the journey up to the entrance of the cave.

"The design is based on the comments of the diving teams, with access to oxygen at the front and back, which has the shape of a cone" said Musk, who would receive recommendations from Thailand.

Due to the size of the aircraft, the coach of the team, who is the only adult, should leave alone

It is expected that two expert divers will move the capsule which comprises several points of adhesion, elaborated so that they can adjust a series of straps that would take the divers attached to their height, while in their interior a smaller one is transferred.

In principle, the use of these capsules, which could be sent to the Tham Luang Cave, is a "plan b" that would be recused only if the authorities did not rule out rescue operations if the cave was flooded or if one of the children was not felt unable to leave alone.

"I am always amazed at the courage, resilience and tenacity of children and diving equipment in Thailand, the human character at his best," said the man. business.

Coach and the Twelve Children have been inside the cave since June 23rd. This Sunday, the rescuers managed to release four of them.
