	BBC - History - Cornelius Drebbel (1572 - 1633)
		Cornelius Drebbel was born in Alkmaar in the Netherlands in 1572.
		Drebbel became increasingly interested in inventions and as his fame grew, he attracted the attention of the new king of England, James I, who was keen to gather explorers, theologians, economists and alchemists around him at court.
		It was at around this time that Drebbel started making his submarine, which was probably based on a rowing boat with raised and meeting sides, covered in greased leather, with a watertight hatch in the middle, a rudder and four oars.

	Cornelius Van Drebbel Biography (1572-1633)
		Drebbel has been credited with constructing the first compound microscope using two sets of convex lenses, and heemployed his skill as lens grinder to manufacture a variety of optical instruments.
		Drebbel invented the first thermostat, which used a column of mercury and a system of floats and levers to maintain a steady temperature within a furnace.He later invented an incubator for hatching eggs which used the same principle for temperature regulation.
		Drebbel also discovered the first permanent scarlet fabric dye, which became popular throughout Europe, and developed a process for manufacturing sulfuric acid from sulfur and saltpeter.

		Drebbel then became what might be called a full-time manufacturer of unusual things and phenomena: a supplier of miracles, producer of bewilderment and vertigo.
		Drebbel's library in particular, a true curiosity, provides valuable indications for those who want to study the nature of his intellect, fertile, with strokes of genius, and undisciplined at the same time.
		Drebbel thought the world could not be explained in purely scientific categories, that sometimes the immutable laws of nature are not obligatory, making room for miracles and dazzling wonder.

	Dutch Submarines: Cornelis Drebbel, inventor of the submarine
		Bourne did not actually construct his boat, and Cornelis Drebbel (or Cornelius van Drebbel), a Dutch inventor, is usually credited with building the first submarine.
		Drebbel's submarine resembled that proposed by Bourne in that its outer hull consisted of greased leather over a wooden frame; oars extended through the sides and, sealed with tight-fitting leather flaps, provided a means of propulsion both on the surface and underwater.
		It is also said that Van Drebbel developed a chemical which purified the air and allowed the crew to stay submerged for extended periods.
