Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] OSS Modeling Ideas
Warren,
A little late reaction, but i was on a vacation for week. I will try to get
some ideas on paper. The problem is that i don't know yet where to locate
the batteries. When placed internaly they won't contribute to the stability.
When placed exterior they should be pressure-compensated or in a bulky
pressure resistant container. Pressure compensation with oil isn't an option
after reading Busby. Pressure compensation with air was my favorite until
Michael Wludarczyk (his e-mail from april 15) pointed out that that might be
dangerous. I will check the archives for this matter.
Greatings,
Thijs Struijs
