text: "Instead of slowing down his arm when he throws it — a dead giveaway to hitters — Igawa had better arm action, Eiland said"
ref: 2008 March 5, New York Times:
text: Most torpedoes solved this problem by supplying the engine with compressed air, but this held a couple of problems, as regular air is only 21% oxygen, meaning that 79% of said compressed air is useless and will simply be vented as a hot gas, along with any combustion products from the burning of the fuel. This would then lead to a train of bubbles that were something of a dead giveaway of a torpedo's presence, and the limited amount of oxygen within the compressed air also limited the torpedo's range. More oxygen would mean fewer bubbles, as there was less exhaust gas; more burn time, as there was more oxygen to burn with the fuel; and a more complete and energetic combustion of the fuel, all of which would allow a torpedo that was equipped with an enriched-oxygen mix to travel further, faster, and stealthier.

The naive claim appeared on the hrivni that they ranked “on an equality with gold,” but the Austrian crowns were truly a reminiscence of a golden age, the symbol of a once-firmly-established order.
