A caterpillar drive. Magneto hydrodynamic propulsion. It's like a jet engine for the water. Goes in the front, gets squirted out the back. Only it has no moving parts so it's very, very quiet. youtu.be/nFsiydplCtw |

That's way cooler than the rubber-band powered submarines of my youth! |

Superb but wait for the backlash, real scenes of an unpainted model, how dare you! |

Not exactly old news but not new either… |

I had a nuke sub which, if loaded with some sort of 'Fizzy' tablet…would move along surfacing and submerging…or so I seem to remember, from a very long time ago! ;) |

The famous Airfix 'Diving submarine'- I had one too. When, to my chagrin, the fizzy tablets ran out- my dad realised that Alka Selzer tablets did the same job. We must have spent a fortune on them. |
