It had water based impellers (or summit like that), big sucky and push things.The propulsion system is described in the novel as an arrangement of pumpjets -- whereas in the film version, it is described as a magnetohydrodynamic system. The propulsion system is nicknamed "Caterpillar Drive", and makes sonar detection extremely difficult.Le Cannon [98 Cannondale M400] [FCN: 8]

I thought it would be nice to have a similar sign on the back of my bike "Please be patient, speed limited by Newton's laws".0
