Join over Download or read online Tom Swift and his Giant Magnet etc written by Victor Appleton, published by Unknown which was released on Published by Good Press. Good Press publishes a wide range of titles that encompasses every genre. Tom constructs a large, heavy brass-bound oak chest to hold his blueprints, formulae, and models until an underground vault can be built.

But Tom is attacked and his possessions—including the chest—are suddenly missing, along with hie friend Koku.

Oceanographers would probably love to get their hands on a true deep-sea submarine. The military would like to have some too, I'll bet. It's the materials and techniques used to build the Jetmarine, however, that will find the biggest market. Any alloy suitable for undersea travel would probably be very useful in other high-stress environments i. The construction techniques, if adapted, could also be used in developing undersea oil rigs and deep-sea mines -- and thus finally give us a way to tap the large mineral reserves located deep beneath the sea and just out of our reach.

I must say, however, that Tom's main reason for building the Jetmarine that is, using it to transport passengers just doesn't hold water. Maybe back in the 50's transatlantic transportation was a problem, but it sure isn't anymore. Even if storms were still a problem which they aren't -- modern planes can just fly above the storm submarines are just too slow to be used for ocean travel.

Speed is the buzzword of the day, and, frankly, the Jetmarine doesn't have it. Lastly , I'd like to mention three other things mentioned in the book that I don't have time to cover in detail: the blackout ray, the remote control car, and the rescuing of Tom Swift's Jetmarine. In the book, the bad guys invented an amazing machine that could generate rays that were capable of knocking people out cold for some time. The enemies installed this ray on an aircraft and used it to loot ships and cargo and Tom Swift, of course, had to create an antidote.

Now, I won't go into the possibilities of creating such a knockout ray, but I did want to point out the tremendous fallacy in Tom Swift's anti-ray.

In the book, when Tom Swift heard about the attacks, he remembered the "pulsator" on which, curiously, no details were given he was working on for the government. Tom recalled that he could create a ray that would jam his pulsator, so he decided to mount this machine on the Jetmarine to see if it could stop the enemy pirates. Now that, to put it mildly, is not the way to handle things. Light waves just cannot be stopped like that.

If you can jam one frequency which, by the way, is quite difficult , the same equipment will be completely useless on another frequency.

What Tom really needed was a machine that could detect the frequency and create an anti-beam as was done in the Rick Brant book The Whispering Box Mystery. Maybe the book was on a tight deadline; I just don't know. In later books, though, Tom created anti-devices with a bit more care, so perhaps he learned his lesson.

Secondly, in the book, Tom needs to transport a dummy Jetmarine across the country. To do this, he creates a remote-control truck and installs the controls in a vehicle that follows the truck. Now, tell me, how is this going to work? Say an obstacle is in front of the truck, or say the truck needs to change lanes. I suppose they could do it with a video camera, but it would definitely be a two-person job one person to drive the car, one to drive the remote-control truck and it would definitely not be easy.

Somehow, I think that there could have been a better solution why not just put someone in the truck? Why not have the truck drive itself?
