Externet Posted April 25, 2019 Posted April 25, 2019 Another contraption accepting opinions: A submarine glider towing a boat. Linked by a hose doing the pull. Solar panel+battery on the boat compresses air. Flow of compressed air towards a bellows/bladder in submarine bow makes it buoyant with rising bow or sink with dipping bow when venting. Glider fins on submarine and cyclic compressing/venting should propel the contraption forward. Would the 'dorsal fin' or the 'tail fin' , or where be a better point to attach the hose for the glider to tow the boat ? This is a variation from an older thread ----> https://www.scienceforums.net/topic/72310-pour-your-brains-here-on-how-to-build-this-contraption/?page=2&tab=comments#comment-1102215

What would happen if battery just powers a propeller on the boat? And the solar panel+battery could also power a propeller on the submarine, if the submarine is required for other purposes than generating propulsion since boat and submarine is attached through the cable.
