Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Dome window



Hi Hugh,
 
Of course I cannot tell you exactly how my dome will perform in the water. My original plan was for a full hemisphere until I found out the price!
 
I wanted a large front window and the price on the formed sheet is much more reasonable than the full hemisphere, which has to be poured in a mold.
 
My window is close to a 120 deegree dome formed from sheet. It is 2.5 inches thick and is good for 1000 feet of depth.
 
The real expert is Greg Cottrell with precision plastics. If you would like his contact info please email me at kocpnt@tds.net or call me at (920) 772-4271.
 
Best Regards,
 
Jim Kocourek

Hi Jim,

What is the 38?  is that the diameter of the Sphere or what.  What depth is that good for!  Is that a 180 degree flanged dome?

I am really trying to get my head around what the best options are.   I wanted to go with a spherical dome but struggling with the placement.

I am now looking at flat windows.   Also can anyone tell me how much distortion with a smaller dome for the view.  Does it make everything look further away? Thks, Hugh.

It's a happy day in Wisconsin. I just received the 38" by 2.5 inch thick dome this afternoon. I think that will inspire another burst of energy on the sub.

 

Greg did a supberb job and I have long anticipated it's arrival. If he has to change proffessions he can always design packing boxes as he is quite good at that also.

 

Best Regards to all,

 

Jim K
