Let’s discuss the patent for the Submarine, which is now in the public domain, not that any foreign government cared, as they’ve been building them for years. Since my grandfather built the first Ring Gyro at Stanford Research years ago, I think it’s wise to talk about these things in a modern context. The device he built is now called the Laser Ring Gyro Inertia Guidance system, which is not the size of the original. The first one my grandfather built was six feet in diameter and six feet tall and was used in a submarine after it was perfected. . Today you can make one in a small box with a computer chip about 3 inches by 3 inches. Proving Moore’s Law in more ways than one. So if you were going to build a submarine right now, how would you do it? What would drive it? What would be its performance limitations? Could it also fly? Go to land? Who would you pay to build it? How fast could it go? Well, we could use a hydrogen fuel cell, actually that’s already been done and it works fine by the way. No more Red Octobers, here is some history leading up to this discussion that you may find quite interesting.

Some of this is important to me because my uncle was in charge of a nuclear submarine in days gone by. Yes, I know an interesting family, right? There are so many interesting designs for submarines and underwater exploration vehicles and they are based on all sorts of different ideas;

You see those damn Germans are always building something cool, but so are we;

and if anyone out there thinks that we don’t have underwater superiority as we do in the air

So they’ve been smoking too much Iraqi weed. In a comparison of possible propulsion units, one might wonder why not use this hydrogen cell technology anywhere air is not needed. Bingo.

this is exactly my thoughts on this matter. You know this really isn’t a revelation because we’ve known about this technology for years;

I mean submarines have been around since before the civil war and hydrogen cell technology in the late 1900’s, right? So let’s compare the types of propulsion that can be used on submarines? How about like a bicycle, the power of the people? I’m sure it’s been done before.

and since then we have come up with many different types of propulsion, all with different characteristics of anti-sensing, efficiency, speed and power against currents.

Did you know that even Pakistan has submarines and has nuclear weapons? Scary thought, right?

This is why we need fast-moving unmanned satellites and submarines to intercept if necessary. But it’s difficult, that’s why drug traffickers use submarine remote controls to import drugs and nobody detects them; they obviously have the budget;

and now we’re finding ways to prevent that from happening as well.

There are so many uses for submarines from underwater mining, marine life expeditions, sunken treasure hunters, military security, underwater base building, etc.

The operation of a submarine is very simple actually. This may explain its many variants;

Submarines are of enormous benefit to humanity.
