torpedo system

[Slats]

As for product design, may I suggest design and testing first, then post the product when ready, I do that so as not to get every one gung ho, then wait. IMHO

Yeah like no kidding Mark - and that's exactly what is happening.
David and Mike will not release this until their happy with it - hence the wait and why the wait will be worth it. :):D

In the meantime - all of you build something Crack That WHipCrack That WHip

I got some more motors to try, they are 7.mm O.D. by 15.mm long, They are the ones I'll try in my Torpedos first.
Shaft starts rotating at an unbelievable .05 volts, (of course that's with no load) and are turning a high RPM at 1.2 volts. They are rated at 3.volts, but I'll probably try them with 1.2 V battery first, and see how well they do in water.

Rick - there are other better ways to spend your time - like building a weps platform - i.e a boat. BlahBlah

If the almighty wanted us to run electric torpedoes he would have them in the pipeline.
Instead he has blessed us with a gas system. I'll drink to THAT!

Gas is okay, but since you ask, I'm trying for more realistic torpedo action, not short-range Rockets. :eek:
Also I want them to Go until reaching the shore, so I won't have to go swimming in these alligator infested ponds. :eek: :D

Oh, I don't know, Rick. Based on your previous thread, I'm inclined to think it a good idea you go out and retrieve your torpedoes in alligator infested waters. But, that's just me.

David,
I had a feeling you would feel that way. I did hesitate about giving a truthful answer :rolleyes:, but I knew you would want me to be completely honest. ;)

Rick - you will be simply amazed at how realistic David's warshots are.
I am not sure what exactly you have planned but the gas shots do have considerable range and realistic wake. Wait - you will be surprised.

So David,
what is the best color for these torpedo's to be or what color is Caswell going to have them, or i imagine we can paint them ourselves? plus the torpedo doors, should they be metal or use the plastic that comes with the submarine it self, or is this un decided. Any comments also from the peanut gallery.Blah

The US Navy started painting them a light green when the MK-16 (do you really want to call SubRock a 'torpedo') was introduced to the fleet. And from the 60's the Soviets did the same. So our weapons will be green.

You talking muzzle door or shutter door?

David,

[deepseadiver]

well David,
I was thinking of shutter doors but which one would be the better way to go in your professional out look of things. I guess with my Gato it has shutter doors , but just the fact it has torpedos and no doors at all is fine with me. as MR slat has mentioned no doors at all.

The shutter doors would have the same anti-foul paint color as the surrounding hull (black or red, depending on the yard, theateur of operation, and time).

Keep it simple: no doors.
