Hi Pat and all!
I totally agree with Pat when he
says that we beginners (And I fully admit that I am one) shoud not begin
with a Deep-Diving Sub as a first project.
I am a Christian, which means that
I belive I know where I am going when this life is over, but, I'd like to go
there when it's time and even have a little fun along the way. I'd
rather not speed up the process by attempting dreams that are beyond my
capability. One wise person
I knew once told me that the "I Know what I Know", and the "I Know What I
don't Know," aren't a problem. It's the "I Don't Know What I Don't
Know," that can get you in big trouble.
When I first discovered PSUBS.ORG I
immediately designed a 6 person 37 foot sub and was thinking that I would like
to figure out how to get it to about 400 meters fsw. Now, after reading
and listening to you guys, I'd be happy to construct an ambient pressure sub
for use in shallow lakes as a first project, and that only after I re-learn
everything I once knew about scuba-diving and spend much more time
listening-reseaching and learning.
Maybe we could all come up with a
basic-skills/knowledge recommendation for those who find themselves desiring
to do what so many of you veterans have done before.
Without some knowledge of Physics,
Mathmatics, Electronics, Plumbing, Pneumatics, Hydraulics, and materials, it
would seem like a fools quest to go out and try to begin at the
top.
For What it's Worth,
Bob
