Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Close cycle gasoline engines
I found this is brief history of submarines designed by
Professor Hellmuth Walter:
http://uboat.net/types/walter_hist.htm
He built 10 boats in all, but interestingly enough he only
build two subs over 1000 tons displacement, the rest where
smaller reseach subs.
The smallest of which is V-80, which looks like it might
make a nice psubs design, maybe with a diesel engine and
batteries: http://uboat.net/types/v80.htm
