Hi Mike, Diesel? Who invented batteries? Scuba? Cousteau? MacGyver? First PSUBer who wins gets an award named after them? Regards, Ray Michael B.

Some specific piece of hardware project that spreads knowledge through the group. In this way some of those whom have not yet reached the "Carsten Point" can contribute in some smaller way.That's different. Totally different. I like that a lot.More feedback please? Does the Kittredge award cover it? No need for a new award?The Kittredge award might cover it, but it might be that we'd decide to give it for either the gadget or the whole sub--and not both. That's not a good thing. Let's avoid the name of one of those guys who invented escape gear. That's depressing. Simon Lake and John Holland patented and built gear for special purposes, but their main activity was building the entire boat. Likewise, Bauer, van Drebbel, Bushnell, etc. Laubeuf, Laurenti, Zedé, all built entire boats. No one is going to name anything after Horace Hunley. His partner, McClintock, was the designer; McClintock died in the explosion of a mine he was testing (it worked, I suppose). Wasn't it Faraday who built the first electric motor? That's critical to what we're doing. Who invented something critical, and internal, to submarines?
