Bill and the rest,
Pressure compensation of battery pods and trusters
with air seems the most simple and clean way to do it i think. It also has the
advantage that you don't have to put a square battery in a bulky round box.
But in a discussion on this subject a view years ago Michael Wludarczyk
wrote that at higher pressure (300 psi / 200 mtr.) the partial
pressure of the oxygen (PPO2) becomes so high that there is a substantial
fire risk. This is of course a lethal depth for an ambient sub but i want to go
to 100 mtr. in an 1 atm. sub. Eigther i missed something during my schooldays or
i simply forgot but PPO2 doesn't mean anything to me. Is there someone on
the list who can say something sensible about this?
Thanks,
