A Deep Dive on Subs

from How Your World Works · host Popular Mechanics / Panoply

Today on the show, in honor of the recent launch of the most advanced submarine ever built, the USS John Warner, we take a deep dive on submarines. We’ll learn a little about their history, how they work, as well as what’s new and what’s different on this modern submarine. And we’ll also answer this riddle for you, why is it that you gain weight on a submarine? Plus we’re going to take a trip to the Suez canal in Egypt. That canal just under went a massive expansion and was just opened to traffic. And we’ll play a game of Stupid or Amazing, wherein we look at a new product on the market and ask ourselves that very important and surprisingly complicated question. Today we consider a product that could actually bee really useful on a submarine come to think about it, The D-Link wi-fi-water-sensor that detects water and leaks. Learn more about your ad choices.
