The Material World

BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Is it possible to achieve warp speed underwater? Supercavitation could provide the answer-the process involves surrounding a vessel with an envelope of gas to prevent excess drag in water. Quentin Cooper talks to ocean engineer Dr Marshall P Tulin and Dr Yuriy Savchenko , researcher behind Russian high-speed torpedoes. Will this technology lead to fast and noisy underwater dogfights in the military arena, orto more peaceful advances in undersea exploration and transport? Producer Fiona Roberts.
