Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Fuel Cells Yet ?
Paul & Pat,
Thanks for the info on fuel cells, sounds like the revolution is just around
the corner.
Any other associated stocks besides PLUG BLDP that are linked to the growth
in the fuel cell industry Paul ? There is a company (LITH) that has it's
origins in New Zealand that developed a patented method for getting Lithium
out of sea water and is about 25cents a share at the moment. There is a big
need for lithium in some fuel cells apparently. NOT saying I recommend this
stock though, it has been beaten up a lot, but if we all bought it, could
start a trend and our PSUBs, tropical Islands etc. won't need to be dreams.
Keep an eye on it I would say !
Off the topic a bit, but like some of you, I have been taking the
opportunity while here in Atlanta (my wife is a personal trainer ) to get in
shape and having spent my life being not that attracted to gyms, I'm now
looking from the other side of the fence and finding the progress most
satisfying. So go for it those who are and those who are contemplating ! I'm
quite keen because I would like to get back into diving and you need to be
in shape of course.......
Off the topic again, I noticed Dale that the internal rings in your sub
construction shots, appear to show the internal rings are fully welded both
sides. Is that a Kittridge requirement, survey standard or just good policy
? I've had a lot to do with yacht survey standards for welding and I would
have thought alternate from side to side welding would be enough as fully
welding seems a lot extra. However, I have no experience welding a PSUB and
PSUBs are a totally different kettle of fish to yachts/ships so please wise
me up !
I like the job you are doing Dale, looks great ! Keep up the photo updates.
Sorry about the essay guys,
Regards, Karl.
