Slavvy posted:How, out of interest? Will they build pressurised mines with an air supply or something? Remote operated stuff has been around since before we stole a sunken Soviet submarine. SCUBA or a hookah works just fine for manned machines in water shallow enough for a snorkel. I've got no idea what the proper running lights/day signals would be for a submerged bulldozer, but neither of the machines in the video seem to be displaying them. drzrma fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Jun 11, 2015 |

The related article has more description and a (somewhat mediocre) video: http://www.autoblog.com/2015/01/08/granatelli-turbine-powered-chevy-corvette-feature-video/ I have a completely irrational boner for turbine powered vehicles.
