Lt DeFault Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Swimming in water could be as effortless as flying in the sky.I'll buy that. :c: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Killjoy Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 I won't hold my breath for it.I see what you did there.I'll buy that. :c:"..could one day travel oceans at 3,600 mph inside a bubble.."Someone's stealing Anime Cable channels from their Neighbour!Also, if it's going at 3,600 Miles Per Hour underwater, shouldn't it be traveling at SUB-sonic speeds? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grenny Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 The only way to "see" under water is sound. If you travel at the speed of sound, there will be some challenges concerning collision avoidance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you travel at the speed of sound, there will be some challenges concerning collision avoidance.Plus it would be like having a massive mega-phone and shouting "DEPTH CHARGE ME!" at every passing Frigate Anti-Submarine patrol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Invader ZIM Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Sooo, what are the test results when you collide with a Blue Whale for example?? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ssnake Posted August 31, 2014 Members Share Posted August 31, 2014 If you can push thousands of tons of water out of the way each second for supersonic underwater travel, a whale of approximately the density of water won't create THAT much more resistance. I doubt however that supercavitation can be used for more than torpedos, or even if it could applied to an entire submarine, that it would allow sustained travel at these velocities... the navigation issues totally put aside for the moment.This is a pipe dream, or totally mangled in intent and the scale of its technology through inaccurate reporting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Furia Posted September 1, 2014 Share Posted September 1, 2014 Not much sure about this "supersonic" submarine :c:, but I would prefer to ride on this "superluxe" Submarine :bigsmile: http://www.motioncodeblue.com/project/migaloo-private-submersible-yacht/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Invader ZIM Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Typhoons had them, but not this ultra deluxe one. It's "self filling." Just open the hatch before you surface to collect the sea water around you in the basin and viola!! Instant pool party on the top deck! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted September 4, 2014 Share Posted September 4, 2014 Also, if it's going at 3,600 Miles Per Hour underwater, shouldn't it be traveling at SUB-sonic speeds?Kidding aside, I think that really is the speed of sound in water (or close to it ~1500m\s).I see no frikken laser on the shark's head - it's useless.More BetterfwB8nbI4TuM 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
