That is great Carsten! I had no idea about windmill
tubes used as pressure vessels! Super.
Thanks very much for those links. I wonder what the
operational depth and crush depth are of
those tubes and if the tubes are made in different
thicknesses of metal

Are the diameter, thickness, and specific steel type for
those
windmill tubes available?
I would enjoy plugging those
figures into the spreadsheet that was
sent around earlier to see the
crush depth figures for a submarine
made from windmill tubes--with
appropriate bracing of course.
UC-3 looks very very cool...
I
find it interesting to compare the detailed CAD drawings of the
Euronaut to the chalk sketch of UC-3... Surely Peter has more
drawings and calculations than that?
If not, I cannot disparage the
design methodology of a man who has
already built two working
submarines and has started on his third!

More than a sub need. Yes - windmill baseshafts will work.
