David RuffnerI found a paper exploring the use of hybrid solid/gas rocket engines for marine propulsion. The authors go through the reasons why rocket torpedos or rocket boats haven't caught on yet, but also why they still could be useful. Essentially they will be most useful when speed is the dominating factor. https://www.mdpi.com/2226-4310/6/3/28

Hybrid Rocket Underwater Propulsion: A Preliminary Assessment
This paper presents an attempt to use the hybrid rocket for marine applications with a 500 N class hybrid motor. A 5-port high density polyethylene (HDPE) fuel grain was used as a test-bed for the preliminary assessment of the underwater boosting device. A rupture disc preset to burst at a given pressure was attached to the nozzle exit to prevent water intrusion where a careful hot-firing sequence was unconditionally required to avoid the wet environment within the chamber. The average thrust level around 450 N was delivered by both a ground test and an underwater test using a water-proof load cell. However, it was found that instantaneous underwater thrusts were prone to vibration, which was due in part to the wake structure downstream of the nozzle exit. Distinctive ignition curves depending on the rupture disc bursting pressure and oxidizer mass flow rate were also investigated. To assess the soft-start capability of the hybrid motor, the minimum power thrust, viewed as the idle test case, was evaluated by modulating the flow controlling valve. It was found that an optimum valve angle, delivering 16.3% of the full throttle test case, sustained the minimum thrust level. This preliminary study suggests that the throttable hybrid propulsion system can be a justifiable candidate for a short-duration, high-speed marine boosting system as an alternative to the solid underwater propulsion system.

#Bdellovibrio #microbes are bacteria-seeking #torpedoes sometimes called “the world’s smallest #hunters.” Only one fifth the size of a typical #bacterium, they punch above their weight. An individual Bdellovibrio darts about until it happens to smash into prey. When it does, the impact is so violent that the victim reels several cell lengths and stops moving within seconds.
