So Joe Perkel and I have been having a thorough discussion.....which I've enjoyed the exchange. I have some questions about the image that is attached. (Sorry....hated to kill the bandwidth, but didn't know how to le the image be accessible.) Does the image have a chance to be successful? Will the angled mounting of the dome hatches cause any structural weakness (other than the acrylic dome itself)? I know anyone who answers is doing so with the best intentions. I know that only real life testing is the only way to know for sure. My design is only for a depth of 250 ft max. Also understand.....the drawing is a preliminary......just drawn up to discuss the possible flaws of the idea. James Long Owner/Designer Lil Brother LLC (Instrument Division)
