yea i agree with sjvietboy408. their going to get eaten by a shark or something and choke it to death. this is a dumb idea unless your trying to kill sharks if so brilliant absolute genius

Sharks eat things that look like food from just shape alone. These robo-fish are well fucked lmao.

wow seems interesting ill have to get one once they arent a prototype xD i think a final draft (maybe a miniature version of these) could make great pets if they had solar/H2O renewable powercells rofl

This is amazing. there is so much you can do with this. they should put fish cells in the chips like they did with the mice.

Those are going to choke real sea fishes when they get eaten.

A propellor is basicly several wings that spin around. The surface of the blades (wings) is curved so that water moves faster along the bottom then the top so the water gets sucked through it. A curving body basicly becomes the wing and cycles backwards and forwards, increasing and decreasing the surface on either side. Its far more efficient. Also, the entire body can move a larger volume of water then a single propellor ever could. The body basicly is one massive propulsion system.
