Embedded Files
A wide range of fish and marine mammals can be fabricated using one or more "torque reaction engines". TREs are self-contained units that can be embedded within a flexible body. The body, swimming mode (fish, marine mammal, medial paired fin, jellyfish, flagellum), are variables that can be changed to suit a service to be performed.
Multiple TRE can be arranged in a row, like this:
Sea lions, salmon, eels, jellyfish, flagellum, tuna, and other creatures of the sea can all be modelled as Phish. Phish should be capable of speed and power-output similar to that of their real counterparts.
TRE can be relocated along their driveshaft, which will allow the Phish to roll between fish and marine mammal orientations.
