As you say,
"as a submarine
begins to ascend the slot will be set at a spot that enables a nice speed of
ascent. As the air expands it is automatically burping....and will
eliminate the tendency to become ballistic...it eliminates the need to
continuously let out air manually"
My question was and still is; won't this method
cause you to gain ballast as you go deeper that will make you travel deeper
yet at a faster rate?
At one atmosphere of depth, your air will
compress to 1/2 and be replaced by water. Are you planning to compensate
by constantly adding air? If not, where does the air come from that
will be automatically "burping out as you ascend."
I agree it sounds like a nice system for a smooth
ascent but, unless I don't understand your design totally, it's not a good
system to descend with. It's safer to go "ballistic" then like a
rock.
