Submersible Hummvee, "Hummwuv" trial

[Guest]

Had alpha trial of my High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Underwater Vehicle. It needs some trim and other adjustments, but it does work on and under the water, on the bottom, and on dry land!
Hopefully, you'll be able to see this crude video:

That is cool!!
You are correct Andy.
In my younger (slimmer) days I had a1972 Europa Twin Cam.
I loved that car, When it ran!!
I was always fixing something.
Closest thing to a go-cart on the road. BD.

Hummwuv trimmed

Thanks for your responses. I finally got a chance to trim this experimental vehicle for a run in the pool. I tried to run it and take the video at the same time; not easy.
This unedited video shows the Hummwuv running on the bottom of the pool, then as a sub. Granted, it is extremely underpowered, but I did prove that my plan to run a wheeled vehicle on land and in the water, on the bottom, on the surface, and submerged, is viable.
The tailpipe thrusters are for forward motion only, so I have to run the rear wheels in reverse to back up in the water, as seen in the second video.

Fantastic Art! I was always

Fantastic Art! I was always going to build a Simon Lake wheeled Argonaut for the first RC wheeled sub. You beat me!

How about some details and interior shots?

Yessir. For pictures, visit my site: http://groups.msn.com/ArtBrodersmodels/ ... mmwuv.msnw
I changed the batteries and added lead and foam since these photos were taken.
