Keeping the blogosphere posted on the goings on of the world of submarines since late 2004... and mocking and belittling general foolishness wherever it may be found. Idaho's first and foremost submarine blog. (If you don't like something on this blog, please E-mail me; don't call me at home.)
From Popular Science, an article about a submersible that recharges its batteries from the temperature gradients in depth changes and produces more power than it consumes. Good job ONR!

Just another one of those self-propelled, perpetual-presence Navy submersibles that uses the ocean environment to charge batteries and run hydraulic pumps without enough room for the crew. Not even one A-ganger would fit on that thing! What were they thinking?

Submarine versions of Energizer Bunnies. These units will either be expendable like batteries, or they're going to be headaches for at least one navy.

That article didn't come out on April 1, did it?

No turds, no need for turd-herders!
(See if that sparks an E-Div/A-Gang rumble)
