Can do attitude

I'm seeking a contract with the US navy.
Gonna make a solar powered Virginia-class submarine on spec.
I don't know anything about solar or submarines.
Someone told me that xt90 connectors are waterproof so I have that covered.
How many Battleborn batteries do you think I will need?

 

[BoloMKXXVIII]

Short answer, all of them.

 

[Dhowman]

Virginia Class nuclear plants output 30MW. They can stay underwater between provisioning for 3 months.

(30MW x 1000 kW/MW x 3 Months x 730 hrs/Month) / 1.2kWh per BB
=
54.75 million
​

A lot of the electronics on those subs are connect by fiber optics, so you're gonna need some of these in addition to the xt90s.

How about going slightly off-the-spec, use photosynthesis instead of SPV cells.
It'll help during those deep dives.

 

[Dhowman]

Oops, you can use all Wh from nuclear but only 80% of LiFePO4, so need to account for that:

54.75x10^6 / .8
=
68.44 million​

Or, like I said at first, all of them. ;-)

You've got to install two of these, either sides of the ship:

Won't be enough. ;-)

 

[upnorthandpersonal]

Ask Amy on Alibaba for cheaper cells and DIY. No need to buy expensive BattleBorns.

 

[Dhowman]

Biggest problem, me thinks, is volume those cells would take up ... and isn't there a limit of how many BBs you can parallel?

Slight change of plan, to something more feasible.
Solar powered aircraft carrier using https://solarroadways.com/ technology.
EZ PZ!

 

[FilterGuy]

You should add a large wind turbine to the aircraft carrier. Those navy pilots are good enough to slip between the blades as they land!

 

[BoloMKXXVIII]

Won't be enough. ;-)

I didn't say all that currently exist. I said "all of them" which would include all that currently exit and all that will exist in the future. ;-)

Still, probably won't be enough.

I just have more faith in BattleBorn.

Youre overlooking a critical aspect. The sub could use lead batteries to anchor otself in place allowing ocean currents to regenerate prop turbines. Thus requiring significantly less battery.

Fido had too much Fiber.

I think the prototype only needs one lightning arresting device. Some camouflage paint will be required.


You didn't mention color and I'm thinkin this is right up there with Beatles mentality. ?‍

Maybe install a network of underwater Tesla Megachargers around the oceans.

 

[Hedges]

Actually, I think you're on to something.
With the efficiency of LiFePO4 (Battleborne), the thermal signature will be greatly reduced.

Maybe install a network of underwater Tesla Megachargers around the oceans.

The GPS will provide turn-by-turn directions with a route planned to reach the charging stations.
Uh, is it a problem if a known algorithm is used to guide a stealthy submarine?

There is a diesel generator (I've seen it), so you've really got a hybrid. No range anxiety here!

And of course, if you run entirely out of both charge and fuel, there's always the old "Bedsheet Sail".

A Submarine Made it Home with a Sail Made of Blankets

By today's standards, a submarine from 1918 is rather basic, but even for a submarine of the time, using sails as a means of propulsion was firmly in the
