I'm not 100% sure what your idea is (I'm a french speaker) but I can
recommend you something.
Make a small model of your system and try it in a pool. built it with
soda bottles or whatever. blow it with your mouth. I'm telling you this because
I had a similar system (I think) on my sub and it didn't work well. I could fill
both side with water but only 1 side could be blown. Leaving me with only half
the lift. If I had made a small replica, I would have seen the failure and do
the modifications BEFORE building all the thing!!!

Guys I have been reading all the archives on vbt systems etc and
have
not really gotten the answer to my idea.
What I am looking at is using 3 to 4 SCBA tanks on each side for
vbt's
these are 40 or 45 cuft hp cylinders. I am thinking on valving both
the
water in let and the air blow, and the ability to give a pre measured
amount
of blow air which equals water quanity.
The tanks will run horizontal and piped to have a upward u shape
connection
so water does not slosh from one tank to the other.
I guess what I am trying to accomplish is more fully blown floatation
(freeboard)
and I am trying to fine balance so when I point the nose down using dive
planes and
vectored thrust, once the water in these tanks moves forward I would like
to
stay at that attitude and neutral the controls and stay pointed
down.
I just bet I am dreaming of obtaining this kind of balance, but really
like being
ignorant. Like alot of you my first plans was a sea vue flying sub
heheh
any ideas
