Two weeks in an underwater cabin: "Mark Frauenfelder:
As the winner of a £20,000 'Live Your Dream' contest sponsored by the magazine Australian Geographic, 29-year-old Lloyd Godson lived in a 10-foot-long box at the bottom of a lake for 12 days. It doesn't look like the cabin had windows.
The marine biologist used a system of onshore solar panels and a pedal-powered generator to create electricity and recharge his water-proof laptop computer.He kept an algae garden to absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen for breathing.
A team of divers delivered food and drinking water to the sub through a manhole, including a homemade lasagna and freshly barbecued salmon.
For entertainment, Godson watched videos on his laptop and used a wireless Internet connection to communicate with schoolchildren around the world.
