I was wondering has anyone made a torpedo that is electric?? I want to try to make one with a pen and one of those little pager motors (the prop from a Megatech/redhorse will fit) was wondering if it would work.. or see where this idea goes Tom.
During WWII the Japanese navy came out with midget suicide submarines called the "Kaiten".
These were no more than a one man human torpedo submarine. Why not construct a modern version of this ?
This should be a interesting guided torpedo/mini sub that should run on the surface. (no need to dive)
This can ride "piggy-back" on the sub and launced by a separate two channel controller.
You can guide this "torpedo/submarine" to a slow moving or stationary target.
