The effect is known in physics as supercavitation and marine engineers are taking their cue from the humble mantis shrimp to create objects that, theoretically, at least, could one day travel ...

Potentially supercavitation could reduce drag by one thousand times (the difference in drag between water and air. Current supercavitation technology reduces drag by abougt 60-70%. A German company ...

But supercavitation may not be limited to liquids. At high enough velocity a blunt-nosed body will force apart any medium it travels through, whether it be water, soil or concrete. If the cavity ...

Cavitation happens when movement in water makes it erupt into bubbles. But there’s also something called supercavitation, and it might make zooming through the sea a great deal faster.

The reported plans for the super-fast Chinese submarine draw on research that reaches back to the Cold War on “supercavitation,” a technology that creates a friction-less air “bubble ...

That's the principle behind supercavitation. There is a precedent: the Russian VA-111 Shkval torpedo. Developed in the 1970s, Shkval is equipped with a bubble generator in the nose that envelops ...

That's faster than commercial aircraft fly, and yes, it is possible. The technology is called supercavitation, and it's been around for decades. The idea is to increase the speed of an object like ...

Researchers at China’s Harbin Institute of Technology developed a new concept for submarine “supercavitation,” where an underwater vessel creates a pocket of air around itself. Inside this ...

Scientists are now working to crack that paradigm wide open. The idea is to use a technique called supercavitation to eliminate much of the drag associated with traveling underwater and thereby ...

These new bullets have something known as supercavitation, which helps keep the bullet protected from the water's density. By creating supercavitating ammunition, it helps form a bubble around the ...

The Russian VA-111 Shkval torpedo uses supercavitation (creation of an envelope of air around the torpedo, enabling the weapon to travel 200 knots). It was created more than 20 years ago ...
