[PSUBS-MAILIST] What's happening here.

["Michael B. Holt" <mholt@richmond.edu>]

This is off the list.

I have the copies made, but I need to make copies for myself.  I'll 
get your stuff in the mail by Wednesday.

My Visual Basic programs to calculate resistance and horsepower is
now working.  Problem is that the HP numbers are VERY low.  I'm
not sure if this is because of too little understanding of the
formulae, improper programming or -- maybe -- it really doesn't
take much power to move something underwater.

The thing I keep forgetting is that underwater there is no
wave resistance.  That reduces the HP requirements.

Chapter 5 in Busby is the one about pressure hulls.  I'll add
that to the collection.  I have to go to school tomorrow and
probably Tuesday, so I'll copy it one of those days (for some
odd reason, my school owns a copy of Busby; I'll use their
copy).

I've been thinking about the replica sub I'd build.  While
doing Verne's Nautilus is immesely attractive, I think I'd
prefer to do the Seaview.  All I need is a set of plans, but
the one source seems to have gone out of business.

Cheers,


Mike
