Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Drive shaft alignment & sopport.

Ken,
 
I remember reading that a few people died using the ELECTROLUNG back around 1970.  They stopped selling them after that; don't know if it was ever marketed again, or what the final count might have been.

I am also interested in the "discussions". It would be interesting in knowing how many people died using the Electrolung.

I think flame wars are interesting to a point but egos and personalities get in the way of pure discussion.

I have found the arguments over the past few days most interesting and
informative however feel I must comment. With regard to Dr Walter Stark's
statements I would suggest those interested check on his past achievements
as the developer of the Electrolung and many other underwater technology
achievements. He has quite a track record. Secondly - having been involved
with the old Pisces submersibles and  ROV technology I would suggest those
interested study  what has worked in the past  and keep it simple!!! Why
re-invent the wheel! However am enjoying the argument.
