Im looking for info (image,drawing) or books on Unbuild submarine project before year 1900, other than pioneer,Hunley and Alligator. Any info whould be apreciated thanks
I think, most interesting project of this period - Shestunov 1877-1879 sumbarine:
"Шестунов Николай Яковлевич. Инженер-механик флота. В 1879 г. разработал проект подводной лодки водоизмещением 1680 т при длине 67 м и диаметре веретенообразного корпуса 8,5 м. Подал идею подразделять корпус лодки на ярусы. Двигатель для подводного хода — два электромотора (с питанием от гальванических элементов), приводивших в действие мощные насосы водометного движителя. В оконечностях лодки имелось по две водопроточные трубы, в которые насосы засасывали забортную воду через приемные отверстия и выбрасывали обратно за борт — через выкидные сопла. Водомет использовался также для управления лодкой в горизонтальной плоскости и по глубине. Внутренний объем лодки подразделялся двумя палубами на три яруса. В верхнем ярусе размещались вдувной и вытяжной вентиляторы для перемешивания воздуха внутри лодки на подводном ходу, автоматический прибор для регенерации воздуха и другие вспомогательные механизмы; в среднем — офицерские каюты и другие помещения; в нижнем — кубрики команды,аккумуляторные батареи и электромоторы. Над средней частью корпуса имелась небольшая цилиндрическая рубка со смотровыми иллюминаторами."

"Shestunov Nikolay Yakovlevich. Fleet Mechanical Engineer. In 1879, he developed a project for a submarine with a displacement of 1,680 tons with a length of 67 m and a diameter of a spindle-shaped hull of 8.5 m. He proposed the idea of dividing the hull of a boat into tiers. The underwater engine is two electric motors (powered by galvanic cells) that drive the powerful pumps of the water-jet propulsion. At the ends of the boat there were two water flow pipes, into which the pumps sucked outboard water through the inlet openings and threw it back overboard - through the discharge nozzles. The water cannon was also used to control the boat in a horizontal plane and in depth. The internal volume of the boat was divided by two decks into three tiers. In the upper tier there were inflatable and exhaust fans for mixing air inside the boat underwater, an automatic device for air regeneration and other auxiliary mechanisms; on average, officer cabins and other rooms; in the bottom - the team’s cockpits, batteries and electric motors. Above the middle part of the hull there was a small cylindrical wheelhouse with viewing portholes."

Depth to 12-15 foot, range to 6 Dutch miles (6 x 7.407 km, 44.44 km, or 24 standart marine miles). Tested a anti-ship powder "petard", "making a hole with a diameter of 15-16 foot" (4.572-4.877 metres), with impact fuze. In June 1626, British fleet ordered van Drebbel to make a "360 wrought shells with powder, 50 water mines and 290 water petards".
