Nice work. It's the same method Greg Cottrell used to make Solo's 1.5" thick, 31" diameter dome, except Greg's "mold" was made of wood. But what REALLY caught my eye was the gas turbine powered motorcycle!!! Some people really do belong in this group! :) Alec -----Original Message----- From: Emile [mailto:2stroke@hetnet.nl] Sent: Mon 12/6/2004 3:06 PM To: personal_submersibles@psubs.org Cc: Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] My Sub design Alec, The Dome was not cast but blown.

I read here recently about the problems with acrylic domes including > the difficulty of manufacture. I would not make it myself. Emile and I just developt and produce together with a acrylic company a about 2 feet dome good for 500 feet as replacement for Sgt.Peppers. Was made it last friday ! Its about 1000-1200 euros, depents on size and thickness. The exact figure is 570 mm outside diameter. We have now the tool and can copy it. Will post some pictures to Moki in some days. If you need a dome we have now the knowledge to make a good one. If somebody want one - contact me off the list. regards Carsten WWW.Euronaut.org ************************************************************************ ************************************************************************ ************************************************************************ The personal submersibles mailing list complies with the US Federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.
