Conclusion

  • Jacques-Yves Cousteau is know for his aqualung
  • invented the aqualung, underwater diving station, and diving saucer
  • My engineer impacted change though time because he made it able so people can breath underwater

Personal Life

  • He was born in Saint-Andre-de-Cubzac, France
  • Born on June 11, 1910
  • His parents were Daniel and Elizabeth Cousteau
  • Lived during the Great Depression
  • His main contribution to the engineering field was his aqualung, it allowed people to breath under water and descend deeper
  • During the test faze there was a problem with the air flow
  • Had to redesign
  • He worked in seawater to conduct the experiment
  • The tools he use were the aqualung, air tank, and valve, he also wore those to conduct the experiment
  • Went to Naval aviation school
  • had behavior problems
  • liked to swim
  • at age 11 he built a model crane
  • had a wife named Simone Melchior Cousteau and had two boys
  • When his wife died of cancer he got a new wife named Francine Triplet Cousteau, they had one girl and one boy

Introduction

  • My scientist's name is Jacques-Yves Cousteau
  • was an oceanographer, author, motion picture and television producer
  • He invented the aqualung
  • I wanted to learn what an oceanographar does

Jacques-Yves Cousteau

By Chesney Braun

Impact of Scientific Discoveries

  • Cousteau's aqualung was recognized while he was alive because he encouraged the French navy to use it and it soon became popular
  • Without Cousteau's aqualung people would not have been able to breath underwater

Professional life

  • My engineer became interested to engineering because he wanted to make something that would allow you to breath underwater longer and go down further
  • Main design was aqualung
  • Hypothesis of the design was to be able to breath underwater
  • 2 key terms I learned were aqualung and apparatus
  • Other inventions Cousteau made was the first underwater diving station and diving saucer
