When the wtc is finished, I want to test it in my test tank. How do you ballast and prevent from rolling a wtc which is unencumbered by the sub itself? Thank you.]]> SILLY QUESTIONS FROM NEWBIES!

What is a good waterproof glue for fixing foam into my sub?

In one of his Youtube videos was looking at fuel cell. How about some other energy sources like... How about some other energy sources like wind or solar.

Take the Ocean Aero Triton, the world’s first and only Autonomous Underwater and Surface Vehicle (AUSV). It is capable of opearting the ocean surface using wind and solar energy and submerge underwater like a submarine.

The Triton AUSV is used for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR), anti-submarine warfare, and mine countermeasures. The system is fully autonomous and can operate for days with a pre-set route.

The Philippine Navy just received four Ocean Aero Triton autonomous underwater and surface vehicle (AUSV) as part of US Military Assistance grant to the Philippines.

How about an rc version?
Maybe skip the wingsail and it's fold down mechanism and just go with solar panels.
