torpedo system

[Slats]

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

Heres a tip - no doors.

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

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.

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,

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. ;)

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!

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

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

AKA Tutor

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 bet David is teasing us all . I bet he has one ready to go he is just waiting for that special right moment to shock us with what he has. yes yes am i right :cool:

[deepseadiver]

lay of the caveman . yes oh yes i do agree good things come with time.
with my gato build and my helicopters i build i know exactly what you are saying some people can't realize the time thinking, designing, and testing, goes into something before it can be a reality, but i do know that's for sure.

[He Who Shall Not Be Named]

But David really enjoys Teasing us, Before they are Ready.:D
(of course we have to give him a 'hard time' about it)
and we don't need No 'Stinkin Secrets'! :D
Hey, we're the 'Band of Brothers'. :D

yeah ... what he said.
