Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Re: Check Lists

[Steven Mills <cirtemoeg@juno.com>]

Shawn,

Yes ! I have this site as a reference. Thanks.

Indeed, a lot of this is a lot to wade thru.  It's final value...I don't
know?
I started this from another discussion I had [ not on the pSubs list ]
with another person. I just have a quirky curiosity about this.  I had
intended to do this myself just for the sake of doing it and hoped the
journey would give me an education and insight.
Perhaps, if I can make it intelligeable and concise to myself then
someone
else might benefit, too.  Who knows, I might turn your aversion to fluid
mechanics into a renewed interest.

Also, this project and the FEA one, was the first time I reached out
beyond
pSubs to seek information from academics and professionals for their
expertise [ for submersibles that is ]. I can thank the members of pSubs
for that for helping to educate me and giving me the perspective to frame
intelligent questions to ask and also to comprehend much of the responses
I have received.  It has been a rewarding experience being a member of
this
discussion group.

Where will this go?  I can't tell you right this moment.  But, I will
present it to all
of you for peer review and criticisms, [ for those who are interested and
willing
to take the time ] so..."you" will tell me if  it is useful or not.  If
not, I will still have
learned from the research.

As long as I still sit waiting to build my sub, why not contribute in
other ways. You
all have certainly contributed to my edification.

Thanks, --Steve
