Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Double endcaps
sub
I have posted some drawings to:
I have tried to streamline the double endcaps
sub. I have added a GRP hull around the pressure hull. Maybe it looks a
little complicated but i think one has to make a mold for only a quater of the
GRP hull and use it 3 times. With a little cutting and laminating one
could make a hull like that if your are a little inventive (and we all
are, are we not?). The keel looks like a box because i don't know yet
what it will contain (batteries, VBT, ballast). What i do know is that i want
to have a fairing around it. There is a lot of mud in The Netherlands and i
don't want to stick in it. The idea is to bolt the fairing to the
drop-ballast. So if you get stuck you can drop the ballast together with
the fairing and you are free again.
The next thing i will do is to try to make some
calculations on the stability.
I would like to hear what you think about
it.
