Unusual model sub (To say the least)

[bigdave]

I had to post this.
I came across it in a Google search.
All I have is the one photo. But to put it plainly it is a hamster powered U-Boot!
Looks like the hamster wheel inside is connected to the prop.
And it looks like air tubes coming out the top.
Now I can safely say I have almost seen everything. BD

i sort of want to know, but at the same time don't want to know, what kind of search led to hamsters in a jug.

[bigdave]

I knew that would come up.
Actually V80 U-boot.
Truth be told. Honest. BD

It definitely trumps my weird thing of the week. Mine was a giant gummy bear in which you implant the organs and skeleton. You know, as a learning exercise :-/

I tried, but I can't make my fingers type in the joke I want to say.........better not. Anyways, add power generation and you might have something there.

Needs a one way clutch on the prop shaft, he's turning the screw backwards.......

Dave, does this mean that inside your Turtle sub there really is a turtle??

I have seen it run and it moves slow enough that this could be true.
