Title: underwater car ... uses an idea used on M38 50 years ago ...
Post by: yjcanibul on May 19, 2008, 09:27:32 AM

saw this on tv,   the old M38 use to use pressure via a dash mounted switch to stop water
entering the axles etc, this car has two divers tanks mounted in back  -  some of the air is
diverted to the electronics box to keep air from entering ...
