Ambitious Chinese inventors take on do-it-yourself projects

Another of Zhang Wuyi's homemade submersibles being tested on Moshui Lake in Wuhan. The 4.6 metre long submarine was built using parts from a small yacht and took Zhang and his friends 25 days to build. According to Zhang the submarine can travel for 20km/h for 10 hours. Zhang used to be the apprentice of Li Yuming, a local renowned submarine enthusiast who built 7 submarines in the past five years.

A man was detained by police for five days for driving a home-made racing car through the streets in Taizhou, eastern China's Zhejiang Province. According to officers they pulled the unusual vehicle over at around midnight and its driver Zhu Runqiang, 47, said he was taking it for a test drive after recently building it. Zhu said he made the F1 style racing car at home and only dared to test his creation at night when there were few vehicles on the streets. However, as Zhu has no driving licence and the car was illegally made he was fined 700 Yuan at the scene and held by police for five days. His vehicle was also confiscated.

A farmer from Wuhan in China's Hubei Province has successfully flown a homemade 'flying saucer'. Shu Mansheng's 4-metre in diameter UFO is powered by 8 motor engines and during a test flight he managed to fly it 2 metres above the ground for over 30 seconds. The round steel flying device, which cost more than 30,000 Yuan to create, is the fifth of its kind that Shu has built.

A man is seen testing the functions of his latest homemade submarine in Wuhan. Zhang Wuyi has been building submarines since 2008 and in that time has created dozens of different versions which he is continually improving.

Two Chinese aviation fans have successfully assembled a working water plane of their own. The two men were left celebrating after their makeshift craft recently enjoyed a successful maiden flight in Guangzhou, southern China's Guangdong province. With a wingspan of just 2 metres the plane can carry two passengers, however the fuel tank is positioned just above the head of the pilot. Hardware store owner Xiong Tianhua, 34, was the leading designer and maker of the plane, alongside partner Chen Baolong. The pair have assembled many planes over the past ten years, but this is the first time they have attempted to make a water one.

Ouyang Guojun built this aircraft with spare parts over the course of a year. The vehicle flew a successful low altitude flight on 26th July 2009.

this photo taken Aug. 2, 2014, the Chinatown Gate, a key land mark that was built in 2002 to commemorate the 72nd birthday of King Bhumibol Adulyedej, stands at the main entrance to Chinatown in Bangkok, Thailand. Century-old shop houses, twisting alleyways and temples scented with incense still pulsate with the pursuit of old trades and time-honored rituals of families who have lived in Bangkok’s Chinatown for generations. But probably not for much longer. (AP Photo/Apichart Weerawong)
