Brian,
I'm siding with Bill on this
one...mainly because I'm such a novice that I'm like a sponge at this
point. I'm sure I've pissed people off with questions that have been asked
a million times. Kudos to you if you have an extensive knowledge base, I
wish I was in that position and hope to be someday. If I do get there, I
won't be riding high on my horse, thinking I'm some sort of pro PSUBmariner
or something. Credentials ?...you gotta be kidding me. There is a
very good chance that some very sharp minds that have never built a sub, or ever
will build a sub, but still have an interest and so enjoy being in the mail
loop and adding their input, could be found in mail lists just like this.
I value this, I'm sure others do. If you don't like the mail,
delete it. I don't want to miss out on something that someone might add
because they are afraid to comment because they don't have "credentials"
*the very thought makes me laugh* Don't get me wrong, guys like Capt.
KITTREDGE have much to offer some "wet behind the ears" newbie like myself, but
that doens't mean I don't value the comments of, say, some local mechanic, who
might be able to enlighten me on how a diesel engine works. Not to mention
getting a laugh or two about some guy's story.
*arrogance....my God*
Maybe try the "I am a PSUB God" mail list, it might
be more your liking, they weed out all the riff raff.

More disscusion does not equal more knowledge
gained.
I think that maybe as people post on this
message board that it could be helpful if those involved could have some
credentials listed by their name; like "have working sub" or "designed
and build 1 atm sub" or "designed and built ambient sub". Most on
in this group kind of know whos who so it's not a big deal, especially if
you've been to one of the conventions.

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.
Myles.

[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
