Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] test / UC-3 update...

Peter, all this submad guys want to see - are pictures.. :-) 

Progress here is allways slower - start with the two bow thrusters made from 50 HP Outboard parts and lorry starters. Progress on Pipeing und pumps are great. Both high pressure pumps have now there pipeing. As allways in stainless steel. 2 tons of the 4 tons of lead are in. But the best is - we have now the DC-main engine controller in construction. It is a waterproof and watercooled frequency drive unit and I just install the cooler, the pump the fan etc. And I purchase a nice side scan sonar for the boat. The forward anti collison sounder is also installed. And the side scan will be on test trials on small motorboat the next days.  I purchase Nav.electronics now in the US becuase of the low USD. The video server is under development and also the electronics for all the ships sensors like deep, oil pressure, cooling water temp, ful reserve etc. etc..
This all gets later to the three ships laptop's and the local install video server to get full computer overview. An norwegian guys help to start with the mimic screens for he ballast an tank controlls. 

see you Carsten

A couple of tonnes of batteries will arrive soon. Four extra MEGA windows for the controlroom are being machined by CNC factory...80 mm thick acrylic are being water jet cut. Its good times. I spend my time off designing a personal spacecraft, and have ordered a tank of liquid oxygen ( rocket oxydizer ) but this is off topic ofcause.
