normally a pig is thrusted by using pressure differential.
look at the size of the pig, look at the size of the equipment to create the pressure differential.How to apply the required energy to the pig?

A surplus MK-48 should work quite nicely.

Tx all. Somebody mentioned to me this kind of pig, but he cannot racall the name. Thats why I asked.

There might indeed be a commercial self- propelled pig, but these jokers are pulling your leg. A MK48 is a torpedo.

I thought it would be a most obvious joke, so I wasn't worried about any potential misunderstanding. Googling MK-48, quickly pulls up all the torpedo references to anybody not familiar with the designation. Sorry if that wasn't the case.
