Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] simple safety device



Hi Emile,
 
My sub have that safety feature. But I installed valves on the outside of the sub. So if I pass-out, the divers can operate the valves and fill the ballast tanks. As you said, it is very easy to make and cheap also.
 
There is 3 valves. 1 for venting the bottom of the tanks, 1 for high-pressure air inside the tank, and 1 for cutting the top vent in case when i pass-out I had the top vent inside the sub open.

Hello,
 
A idea to make your psub a little safer..
 
If a small psub is for one or another reason out of compressed air or the pilot has a blackout, the support or standby divers can do little or nothing.
 
If you place an inflator hose connector to the lower side of the MBT or on top side with a sifon tube, divers can blow the MBT from the outside.
It is  a low risk but it cost almost nothing in time an money. No valves needed!
 
I placed this connectors on Pepper's and Carsten also thinks it is a good idea.
