[PSUBS-MAILIST] Unconventional UW Propulsion
Ok so how about using underwater jet engine propulsion. Water is sucked in the front via a compressor/thruster, fed into a chamber wherein it is mixed with a stream of sodium, and hydrogen peroxide, then fed through a turbocharger (which is coupled to the compressor/thruster) and out the stern.
H2O + NA = NAO2 + H2
H2 + H2O2 = 2H2O
H2O + NA + H2O2 = NAO2 + 2H2O
Has this been tried in a torpedo? Or anything like it?
