RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Euvreka
Interested in your "former life". I'm building a wet sub along the same
lines. Do you have a picture of what your sub looked like?
I think that there's a lot that we as sub builders could learn from the
design of supersonic jets. That is, if we want our subs to go fast.
Anything to reduce drag and frontal area. The problem remains a power
source to drive such a vehicle for extended time periods.
Right now, batteries are the only practical underwater power source for
personal submarines, and we are limited by their capacity and weight.

(totaly sold out on the shape´s of ww1 subs)
made som size exp, whit the help of *hull-v1.jpg* humanoid-shape in PSUB
archive.
adding a (tower man hole 60cm-)LEX, i got the hull-size of 15.38m.
true, i´d would be god to say its in scale, but how to haul it....(no fun
water in backyard)
so im thinking of a sport scale, 1:hull cut of, or 2:ower sized coning
tower. (under 10m is acceptebl)
electric engines and controll´s, generator and compressor, snorkel, video
periscope.
in a former life we worked on a dry slim(jet-like)g-f reinforced pipe frame,

the bizz was slow, and r&d on it and the company was haltet, dismantlet.
