<DIV>Doug,</DIV>
<DIV>If it weren't for a real time crunch, I would like to have adapted the
Mirage for use in our cardboard boat races on a local lake. One really
cool features is that you can put the fins in a full-up position against the
bottom of the hull when launching or when in the shallows.</DIV>

<DIV dir=ltr>I know that this isn't exactly what we're talking about (granted,
it's close) but this discussion reminded me of Hobie's mirage drive. Very
interesting concept, not sure about the practical uses on a submersible
though. ~ Douglas S.

<DIV><FONT size=3>If you go to Youtube and search for "Anomalocaris" you'll
find a number of videos. A couple of years ago there were several
posts on mechanical fish or robofish. I don't recall the threads, but
those are easy to find on Youtube also. Caltech has a Biological
Propulsion Laboratory.</FONT></DIV>
