Samuel Colt was one of the better known weapons experts in the 1840's in America. He conducted experiments with underwater mine explosives.

What is Zimmeret coating for tanks?
The Zimmerit coating for tanks was originally used by the Germans during WWII as a coating to pretect their Armored Fighting Vehicles and Self Propelled Guns from magnetic mines. While Zimmerit itself has no anti-magnetic properties, the ridged texture that it was given in the factories prevented the magnetic mines from making direct contact with the surface of the tank. At which point, the tanks own movement and vibrations would cause the mine to fall off. It was a wonderful idea, but the Germans were the only country to actually employ the use of magnetic mines during the war.
