Superconducting Motors and Lithium-Water Batteries for Torpedo Propulsion.

Abstract

Presently-available information suggests that the performance of the MK 37 torpedo could be improved by the use of a superconducting electric motor powered by a lithium-seawater battery. Details are given and recommendations for future work are described.
