M-class submarine-monitors were interesting part of history

A major problem with submarines has always been that they could not attack against ground installations. So a couple of submarines have been equipped with very big cannons, what gave them the capacity to attack against the beach targets. The British “M-class" submarine with monstrous 305 mm (12 inches). cannon might seem like incredible and bizarre creature, what just waits for being struck. That submarine was created to destroy warships and beach bunkers during WW I and there were only three of those vessels what were accomplished after WW I.

In those submarines were many problems, what caused two bad accidents, where all men of those submarines were killed. And this makes them very interesting creature for investigators. The idea of the submarine, what could also destroy beach bunkers would be very fascinated by the admirals of Royal Navy. But there were problems with the big gun of this submarine.

It must be reloaded in the surface, but the submarine could launch it underwater. The mission of those submarines was to destroy coastal installations like oil- and other storage, but officially the mission if those “cannon submarines” were another warships. There were three of that type of submarines, what was accomplished, and the second last one named M-2 was modified as the diving aircraft carrier. The accidents were happened because of the handling mistakes of the equipment or by the impact of other vessels. The M-2 was scrapped after she was modified as the minelayer in 1932.

This kind of submarine could not fight against other warships because a single hole in her hull might cause destruction. Those three experimental submarines were also interested in US NAVY in 1950’s because if the cannons were equipped with nuclear grenades, they might be able to attack against enemy harbors and coastal installations. Those plans were disbanded after the cruise missiles came to the submarines.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources.

Use virtual "perpetual motion machines" and seawater as energy sources. The Archimedean screw can offer almost endless energy sources. "Robert Fludd's 1618 "water screw" perpetual motion machine from a 1660 wood engraving. It is widely credited as the first attempt to describe such a device." (Wikipedia/Perpetual motion) The term "virtual perpetual motion machine" means a machine. That pulls water to the upper tank using a capillary tube. Then that water will fall through the generator or turbine wheel. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a "perpetual motion machine", that is impossible because of laws of thermodynamics. The machine uses differences in pressure levels. But it looks like a " real perpetual motion machine", which is impossible because of the laws of thermodynamics. The real perpetual motion machines don't use outside energy. And that's why they are not possible.

Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field.

"Researchers have created a novel metamaterial that can dynamically tune its shape and properties in real-time, offering unprecedented adaptability for applications in robotics and smart materials. This development bridges the gap between current materials and the adaptability seen in nature, paving the way for the future of adaptive technologies. Credit: UNIST" (ScitechDaily, Metamaterial Magic: Scientists Develop New Material That Can Dynamically Tune Its Shape and Mechanical Properties in Real-Time) Metamaterials can change their properties in an electric- or electro-optical field. An electro-optical activator can also be an IR state, which means. The metamorphosis in the material can thermally activate. AI is the ultimate tool for metamaterial research. Metamaterials are nanotechnical- or quantum technical tools that can change their properties, like reflection or state from solid to liquid when the electric or optical effect hits that material. The metamaterial can cru

There might be an answer to why there is a gravitational hole in Earth's gravitational field.

The gravitational field at the point of the Indian Ocean is weaker than in other places on Earth. The existence of that gravitational hole is proved. But the reason why that gravitational hole is formed is unknown. The reason why the gravitational field on the Indian Ocean is weaker might be a simple thing. There is a possible lighter rock in the mantle, or there is less material at that point. In some wildest theories, there are bubbles in magma that turn below the bottom of the Indian Ocean are less massive than in other places on Earth. The lighter material at that point should make the hole in gravitation. "Geoid undulation in false color.
