Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Newbie needs help



Pure oxygen in a submarine.  I think that had a lot to do with a space craft exploding several years back.  A leaky "O" ring, causing a hydrocarbon leak (fuel for the fire), pure oxygen, and heat caused by a spark that came from 2 disimmilar metals. Then ka-boom all !!!

Hi, Chip:
Just a quick comment on your air replenishment idea/dislike of pure
02 in cabin: The cabin gas in a one-at sub is typically air. There's simply
no place for the nitrogen that was in the sub (when you closed the hatch)
to go - and no differential pressure driving force to cause you to absorb
it. I'm sure others will comment on the 1.5 atmos. over-pressure scheme -
but thought you might like to know about the cabin gas composition - in the
hope that it may turn you onto a standard one atmos system with 02 make-up.
BTW, I don't blame you for wanting to dive off Monterey - it's
absolutely gorgeous in Monterey canyon area - you should consider going
deeper than SCUBA depth, tho' - it really gets awesome from about 600 feet
on down We've done a lot of diving up to 3000 feet in the canyon - superb!
Regards
Phil Nuytten

I saw an old lady walkin' down the street
She had tanks on her back and fins on her feet

I said "Hey ol' lady, where U going to?"
She said U. S. Navy Diving School

I said "Hey ol' lady, ain't U been told
Leave that divin' to the brave and the bold

She said "Sonny, Sonny, Can't U see
I teach RECON, UDT
