  • Enough about that other narrator's voice already...

  • ah very inefficient

  • William McGill is an oceanographer - A fine example of nominative determinism!

  • i liked ur idea

  • it could be used with a propelar

    propelar for speed but the fins for sleath mode

  • it looks slow

  • the navy would like a sub that moves thru the water without the signature sound of a propellor screw

  • creating a bi-linear wave action via a flexible membrane in water maybe should be done by utilising the water itself, a pump, some tubes and a series of open/close valves - perhaps? That rig sure looks as if it was funded by a fat grant from wealthy benefactor (or tax payers) What was the point of it again?

  • useless design, what a waste of time
