Model submarines, which can actually submerge under water and then surface again at a quite different location, hold a special attraction for the onlooker. This book shows how it is done, explaining the extensive and sophisticated technology that has to be installed in these slim hulls, together with a wide range of electronic safety circuits and sensible methods of using them.
Model submarines which can actually submerge and surface again hold a special attraction for the onlooker: they suddenly disappear under water and then surface again at a quite different location. This book shows how it is done: the extensive and sophisticated technology that has to be installed in these slim hulls, together with a wide range of electronic safety circuits and sensible methods of using them. All this the author describes in great detail with the help of many photos anddrawings. A number of circuit board layouts are included Fundamental subjects are covered, such as hull construction, watertight shaft seals,strength calculations and diving tank technology, together with refinements including automatic under-water attitude regulators, emergency surfacing systems and numerous auxiliary working systems such as periscope, camera, torpedoes,manipulators and others. A comprehensive tabular section rounds off this new book, destined to become the standard work on submarine modelling
