How : was that supposed to work, and is there anything to it? Simple electromagnetics. Sea water is a conductor. Pass a current through a conductor while it is close to a magnetic field and you get a force. In this case the force acts on the water and pushes it out the back of the sub. The sub moves forward. In practice I doubt that it would be worth the effort as the ejected water would be hotter than it's surroundings and would probably be quite easily detected. -- Geoff.
