The first submarines were powered by either hand or foot cranks, and were very ineffective.
After the invention of the internal combustion engine they were a diesel electric hybrid of sorts. They would use there diesel engines near the surface to propel themselves as well as charge there battery banks. These engines ran using a snorkel device to get air from the surface while still being concealed under water. This was used up until about the cold war era where they began switching to nuclear submarines.
These submarines, which are used today, run using a miniature nuclear reactor. That is why these submarines can stay underwater for months at a time. The nuclear eractor is cooled by pumping water through the sytem.
Personal submmarines today are usuallly powered by a large battery bank wich is charged every time you want to use it.
What else can I help you with?
What energy is used today to power submarines?
Nuclear energy is used to power most modern submarines
What is todays submarines powered by?
Nuclear Energy

What provides energy for the body?
Food provides energy for the body.
Which does the electron tranportchain do during cellular respiration?
it provides energy that powers the formation of atp
What provides the energy for the sun?
The hydrogen core provides the energy for the sun.
Where nuclear energy is used today?
In the power plants of ballistic missile submarines.
What provides energy in the water cycle?
The sun provides energy in the water cycle.
What provides the energy for the water cycle?
The sun provides the energy for the water cycle.
What is an example of electrial energy to light energy to heat energy?
electrical energy gives and provides energy to give energy and to show energy, light energy goes through a system of energy and gives off energy to provides it. heat energy is like sunlight it gives, take , provides, and uses energy.
How is nuclear energy gather or created?
Nuclear energy is not gathered or created. There is a saying to go along with this: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed in form. That saying is called the Law of the Conservation of Energy. Nuclear is a type of potential energy so this concept applies to it. There are many ways nuclear energy can be used. Lets say submarines. Most people have heard of the nuclear powered submarines. They can stay under water for a long time because they have basically unlimited energy. The submarines are powered by a nuclear reactor causing a series of nuclear reactions. The submarine uses the nuclear reactions as power. Generally it will get converted to mechanical or electrical energy (both types of Kinetic energy).
What runs on nuclear energy?
Nuclear energy is typically used to generate electricity through nuclear power plants. Ships and submarines also use nuclear energy to power their propulsion systems. Additionally, some research facilities and spacecraft are powered by nuclear energy sources.
