About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ...and light engines running at furious speeds proclaim the presence of boats and the location of one of them. That one, at least, is apt to be immediately destroyed. Seeing, then, that the steam-propelled boat has certain vital defects, is it not possible to imagine a vessel free from the dangers that beset the present-day torpedo boat? Cannot another motive power, simple in its application, powerful and silent and controllable, take the place of the snarl of water-filled tubes, the furnaces fanned to destructive he'ats, the complex engines with their multitude of reciprocating parts flying at fearful speeds under the impulse of high-pressure steam, the ghastly infernos of the fire-rooms, where suffocating men run risks of a dozen kinds of death even in a peaceful cruise? The purpose of this brief sketch is to show that this can be done with that certainty of success that should warrant the attempt. Let it be assumed that a boat of moderate size has its boilers, coal and engines replaced by accumulators and electric motors. It is perfectly evident that if such a boat can show the speed of the steamboat, it is superior to it in all the essentials of silence, invisibility and manoeuvring power described above, as well as in a smaller crew required and the consequent smaller risk of life in an attack. To illustrate the present possibilities and limitations of such an application of electric power it is easiest to take a concrete case and show what results can be obtained with the motor equipment. A boat about 140 ft. long, having a beam of 14 ft. and a draught of 5 ft., will displace, light, 11o tons, and carry normally 30 tons of coal. If 45 tons is allowed for the-weight of the hull, ammunition, crew, stores, etc., there is left 95 tons, or 213,000...
