RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] OSS Acrylic Domes and Viewports
Hi Peter,
How about some pictures of Freya, and your new boat?
Also, are you casting these domes of acrylic or polycarbonate? And
please keep the info on the forum, rather than off-line. I'm sure most
of the psubbers are interested.
Regards,
Ron

Warren,
My name is Peter Madsen, I am the designer and builder of the
diesel-electric submarine "Freya" and I make transparent plastic domes.
I have developed a technique to cast these domes. It is my intention to
outfit Freya with one, in the tower hatch, with a diameter of just under
two feet, or 600 mm. The casting technique makes it possible to make
domes with very thick material, thus very deab crush depth.
Please write me directly at apg@ofir.dk if you need such domes, I will
be happy to help.
A new submarine is on the slipway here too, and it will be outfittet
with three of these domes. On in the tower, one on the fore deck where
the boat is sailed from, and one in the bow. the new 11.4 meter long
boat has most of its pressurehull welded now and is to be launched in
the summer.
