The noisemakers were quite simple devices, but obviously as the electronics were in a pretty premature state during WW2 - pre transistors, the acoustic seekers in the torpedoes were far from "simple" and consisted of several modules with discrete components, using vacuumtubes as active components. Today you could achieve the same result with software and a programable microcomputer. Ie: Your conclusion is totally backwards...

@@H1MIN For the love of god make a video about those two!

It's getting out of hand Now there are two minutes of them

Those last 20 seconds were some unexpectedly stressing torpedo maneuvers around a stick banging machine.

I've read military history for nearly 50 years but you STILL manage to impart something to me in every video you produce that I never knew before. I've known about the foxer and allied variants for decades but strangely NEVER stumbled on an image of one. You provide not only an image, but its a detailed fully working graphic of the device with sound !!! German scientists further refined the T5 "Zaunkonig" acoustic with the T11 "Zaunkonig II" to counter "Foxer" deployment by improving the internal audio baffles surrounding the transducers to further filter out extraneous audio sources, and then programmed the torpedoes to execute a programmed tight circular run when the sound intensity picked up by the transducers reached a certain level. This meant that as the torpedo approached the sound source when the tight circular run pattern was triggered at the preset sound intensity if the sound source was a "foxer" then the torpedo would circle harmlessly around it without detonating due to the foxer's diminutive size, but as it circled it would then pick up the next sound source (more often than not, the escort towing the foxer) and head to that, if that sound source was indeed a ship then the torpedo would still run its preset circle at the trigger point but the length of the ship meant that the torpedo would circle into the hull of the ship (or under its keel in the case of a magnetic detonator), and explode. Concise, eloquent, masterful. The quality of your graphic (and also audio) productions are superior to ANYTHING I've seen on TV, EVER. Yours is the ONLY YT channel that I wait with bated breath for the next episode. Thank you for your continued efforts.

There seems to be limited information to be found, especially on the early versions of FOXER. However, there is an improved version of CAAT which is still in the Squid handling room of the HCMS Haida. If anyone knows of others, it is interesting to see the variants. Thank you, your comments are highly appreciated and insightful.

​@@lesthodson2802 Higher kHz noise is more transmissible through water (i.e. audible from longer distances), so if the propellers and the decoys are around the same decibel values respectively, the passive sensors on the torpedo will pick up on the decoy first.

The solution for this is so very WW2-era British, right up there with the light-cannon tank, the oil drum on rocket wheels and the minesweeper that used a big wire to detonate those funky German mines

Very nice

Huh…so that’s what these things are when I was assembling battleship models. I thought they were deployable acoustic devices to help detect subs, but now it makes so much sense that large warships like battleships or carriers would have these.

@xxnightdriverxx9576

Жыл бұрын

larger warships usually did not have them because their louder propeller sounds could not be overwritten that easily. As mentioned in the video, these systems were for convoys, i.e. freighters and small escord ships up to the size of destroyers. Since I am building ship models as well, I am 95% sure that the things you are referring to are Paravanes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paravane_(weapon) These are basically a mine clearing system that can be deployed from the bow of a ship, and either cut loose naval mines which then float to the surface, or let them explode on contact.

The allies had some acoustic torpedoes too like air dropped ones

@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684

Жыл бұрын

Indeed, it was the US "Mk24 mine" which had the allied codename "fido". As you say it was an air-dropped acoustic homing torpedo, but was designated as a "mine" as a way of trying to disguise the nature of the new weapon which was responsible for a fair number of u-boat sinkings from early 1943 onwards, where the tactic was to drop the mine in the wake of a submarine only once it had submerged for the reasons that the allies wanted to keep the weapon secret from nazi eyes, and a surfaced submarine could easily outrun the "mine". The electric motor which drove the "mine" at a "blistering" speed of 12 knots was actually a standard washing machine motor used by the "General Electric" company in their washing machines. The low speed wasn't such a problem as underwater the best speed a submarine could make underwater was between 6-8 knots.

LOSAT video plz

Correct designation for the german acoustic-seeking torpedoes fielded during WW2 are G7es(TIV) "Falke", G7es(TV) "Zaunkönig" and G7es(TXI) "Zaunkönig II". Only the TV torpedo got the british codename "GNAT". Although the content in general is quite correct, the illustrations isn't as much. No german torpedo could make those narrow turns, and the passive hydrophones in the warhead had a quite narrow field of detection (wider for the earlier versions used in the TIV, further improved with the TV and TXI torpedoes - the latter was also way better equipped with filters to discriminate the sound of the allied noisemakers).

wow the outro tho wow

Damn, didn't know homing torpedoes were a thing back then, no wonder the hitrate was high. Also is that really how quick the torpedo steers or just for dramatic purposes?
