Bill,
I was thinking the same thing, in that
I thought I WAS tuned into a sub chat group and most importantly, talking
about subs. (O.K., I threw in the gyrocopter thing a little while ago....but I
got refocused).
You just never know when you are going
to stumble upon some gem of an idea that someone has by following some of these
discussion. I just simply delete the ones that don't apply to what I want
to do, but even those are rare as I find I gain some value from most any
post.
....but hey, I'm new
here.
Myles.

I thought this WAS the definitive chat room for
sub discussion. The more discussion, the more knowledge gained. The more
knowledge gained, the more education and safer designs.
I've seen periods of very little postings here.
Which is better?
Bill.

Carbon Fiber. It's been used for years and is
nothing new. Spend some time traveling through the Internet before
you make unnecessary mail for every one. Why don't you guys go join
a chat room some place. Fiber glass works fine too. I know
your excited about submarines and I understand but if you go to the
archives of this site you'll find out all kinds of good stuff with out all
this e mail.
Simon,
My limited experience in this
has shown me that steel is used because of the cost factor. I
guess dollar for dollar, it is the cheapest and easiest material to work
with. As far as weight is concerned, the subs NEED weight anyway
so why not incorporate some of that into the pressure hull with steel
? ...that's how it seems to me.

[PSUBS-MAILIST] carbon fibre
I'm sure this question has been asked before, but why
hasn't anybody made a pressure hull out of carbon fibre? Apparently
it's 5 times as strong as steel, and good for reinforcing aluminium.
Sounds like a logical, light-weight, low-cost
alternative
