Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Drive shaft alignment & sopport.
But then again, there've been divers die on a lot
of rigs, including plain ol' SCUBA. There may have been a few deaths on
the ELECTROLUNG, but there was an English rig called the INSPIRATOR or something
like that, and it was involved in something like 15 or 20 fatalities.
In all fairness to Walter Starck, it should be remembered the E-Lung was the
first of its kind, and trailblazing is frequently dangerous.
OK, I'm going to submerge for another 6 months or
so..............

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.

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.
