The box frame idea is reinforcement, like ring stiffeners for a cylinder,
only moreso.
Hi Vance and Adam.
Could either of you tell me what is the purpose
of isolating the batteries from each other into seperate compartments?
I was thinking about what the reasons could be
and I could only come up with two possibilities. Is it
because, if there
was a leak in one specific spot on the main box,
that only one battery would be contaminated by sea water leakage
and only form enough chlorine gas as one battery could make? Is another reason to contain
any hydrogen gas formation
in seperate compartments for some reason? That
wouldn't seem to make sense though because if one compartment
exploded and the others were seperate but
contaminated with hydrogen, they probably would rupture from the explosion and
blow up
also. Or is it some kind of structural
reinforcement thing? You are talking about a battery box inside the sub's
interior not outside it
correct?
Thanks,
Bill Akins
