[PSUBS-MAILIST] "Torpedo"-build

[JimToddPsub via Personal_Submersibles]

Using a battery powered drill motor might be more prudent and referring to it as an ROV.  Sure it changes the design somewhat, but an air trail on the surface might scare the heck out of people.  Where would you be testing it and at what depth?

But may I suggest that in today's world someone who did not know you and came across such a project (for instance a Youtube video of it) might not react the same way? There are people whose full time job is spotting security threats, and what is really a completely innocent initiative might cause them concern. They can be expected to err on the side of caution with regulations or prohibitions of some sort. In short, I would suggest for the sake of everyone, this idea although fun is probably not advisable given the current state of affairs. It pains me to say so, because I used to build canons and bombs for fun when I was a 12 year old, but times have changed.
