@@p_filippouz, they may use wire/wires/wire rope, but you’re mistaken for thinking that they use rope. Because ropes have lots of drag/resistance in water, which obviously goes up exponentially with the distance covered. And if they used a very thin rope, which would be a cord, then it would not be very strong, and it would be useless over any distance, such as fifty or a hundred yards. Especially the kind of ropes made in the Victorian period, before the man made fibres were used for rope. But if you are talking about braided or twisted Wire Rope, then you need to say that, because in English if you say rope, then you are talking about hemp; sisal and man made textile fibres, I am sorry if you think that I am just being pedantic, but you did sort of ask the question, didn’t you???

Brennan was an extraordinary inventor and tinkerer. Sperry purchased rights to his gyroscope patents for instance, he invented automatic weighing and packaging machines, a helicopter, a monorail (that used his gyroscopic stabilizer) and a 'safety car'. Ironically he was killed by a car while walking on holiday in Switzerland at 70. No one knows exactly how the depth mechanism worked as in the only preserved example the box is empty, there are no manuals for it and all instruction was verbal to protect the 'secret' mechanism (like the Whitehead torpedo, but complete mechanisms for that still exist).

Awesome animation, as always. The propulsion system is counter-intuitive as it appears that the torpedo is being slowed by the wires pulling on it, however the forward propulsion generated by the propellers is always greater than the negative force of the wire pull powering it (up to a point). The torpedo is effectively getting lighter as it goes but this is cancelled out by the increase of the weight of the wires behind it which is increasing as it goes. It all balances out in the end, up to an effective range of 1800 meters, which is impressive for the time. The mast sticking out of the top is a bit of a give away though. It would have only been effective against large targets that were not capable of manoeuvring out of the way.

@vbbsmyt2 жыл бұрын
Good question. The torpedo will be positively buoyant once it has lost all its wire so will be just floating around, easily visible due to the tracking mast. However, the warhead will be armed and bumping it or lifting it will trip the detonating pendulum. You do not want to be near the 250-350 lbs of Guncotton when that happens. Also the torpedo will still be about 1 mile from the launching station (and more importantly from angry shore batteries) so it would not be easy to snag a spent torpedo and tow it out of range. I have not seen anything in the documentation about how the torpedo station would deal with a spent but armed warshot, but I assume it would be sunk by rifle/gunfire once things have quietened down.

Louis Brennan was very secretive about his depth and steering units, so each unit was sealed (with a wire and lead seal that would have to be broken in order to open the unit) when the torpedo was issued. The Royal Engineers, who operated the Torpedo stations, promised never to open these units. The Depth units themselves were kept locked in a safe with two keys until needed. So, from 1887 to the present day, the Royal Engineers have kept that promise. X-rays were taken a few years back, but these were made with the depth unit still in the torpedo, so while they show some interesting shapes (springs, rods etc) the are totally useless for working out the internal mechanism.

It has section and plan diagrams of both of the Brennan designs and of Hudson Maxim's (2-wire) modification to the Brennan; some of the history; and some of the critique that was published in naval journals of locomotive torpedoes.

Maxim's torpedo was never built and nothing further was heard of it. I agree that Sleeeman (1889) does describe a Maxim torpedo, but as stated above, this was is based on Brennan's patent, and was never built.

@@vbbsmyt It seems to me that it _was_ built, going by the museum piece. That isn't the contemporary recorded Brennan design. It's not that the "Maxim" was not built; it is that it was built and labelled as a "Brennan", it is the (at least) third iteration on the original design, and the diagrams that it matches in several respects where it differs from Brennan version 2 are the design that Sleeman says is Maxim's. We know that the RE changed Brennan's original 1874 design at least once. Maxim cited the second version as prior art! Things probably evolved a lot over the years; the "Brennan" design has numerous obvious flaws to overcome in implementation, some even mentioned in Sleeman's journal quote. So has the "Maxim", for that matter.

Louis Brennan made a prototype torpedo that he showed to a committee of Naval Officers from the Australian Station who reported favourably. The torpedo used two drums of wire. Both wires were used to propel the torpedo and by manipulating the relative speed of the two wires the torpedo’s rudder could be deflected left or right as required, allowing it to be steered towards its target. (incidentally, I almost stepped on this prototype, which still exists, whilst examining the Brennan torpedo in Chatham) Brennan was invited to London in 1879, but the Admiralty declined to fund further trials, as the device was not suitable for use on ships at sea. Admiralty reports suggested that the Brennan torpedo might be useful from forts, so Brennan approached the War Department. Various trials were carried out and in 1882 the Royal Engineers recommended continuing trials. In March 1883, Brennan received £5,000 for his expenses and was put on a salary of £1,000 a year to continue development, which was now being carried out at the Brompton Barracks, Chatham, assisted by the Royal Engineers. Testing started at Garrison Point Fort in 1884. A successful trial in October 1886 was followed by the War Department negotiating an exclusive use contract with Brennan. Brennan stations were built in 7 locations around the world, and the system was finally declared obsolete in 1905. So apart from the 'patent' which seems to have sprung fully formed from the mind of that well known explosives expert Hunter Maxim, the 'Maxim' torpedo reported by Sleeman was never heard of again. In contrast, Brennan invented the steerable torpedo, demonstrated it, won a contract to develop it and oversaw it's entry into service. The Brennan torpedo that I have modelled has nothing owing to Hunter Maxim.

@vbbsmyt3 жыл бұрын
How can you claim it was pretty unreliable? Do you have access to the results of the practice runs for the period it was operational -1887 to 1905? They were fired regularly by their crews for practice, then recovered to have new wire drums fitted. Steam engines were in fact very reliable - being used to power virtually all ships, trains and factories by every industrialised country. As for the spray being visible, you haven’t really thought this through. The Brennan torpedo was a coastal defence torpedo, with a range of about 2,000 m and speed 26 knots. That means it had a run time of about 2 minutes 18 seconds. An attacking battleship would be firing its guns (lots of smoke) and would be under fire from the land based coastal artillery (more smoke). Assuming the spray was spotted shortly after launch, the message has to be passed to the bridge for action to be taken. Probably leaving only enough time to say a few rude words. There are 4 options:1 direct your main armament to fire at the fort (if you can see it) and hope to break the wire - almost impossible since the torpedo ramp is about the size of a man, the ship MUST steer a steady course and it takes time to redirect the individual guns (you have only 2 minutes before the torpedo will hit remember). Option 2 - allow the torpedo to close to about 100 m and try to explode it with rapid fire guns (will the shells explode on hitting the water?), but as before your ship has to steer a steady course to allow proper aim. Very risky. Option 3: Try to evade. This will prevent your main armament from shooting with any accuracy, but the Brennan can be steered to intercept you on your new course. Not good. Option 4: turn and run away and hope you can get beyond its range. The torpedo is, however, faster (26 knots) and battleships could make about 15 knots. This is the best option, but you have only about 120 seconds to turn your lumbering ship away. So the torpedo has won - it has prevented an attack on the harbour. But I am very glad you liked the video.

Polarized lenses would receive pulses of laser light, and activate only one motor at a time. Turning left or right was a matter of sending pulse of the proper orientation. Level flight was realized by not polarizing the laser pulses, which activated both motors at the same time. When not being pulsed, the 'bug' would simply glide. This was 1970's tech, who know what they got now?
