RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Death Traps: Was: Oil drum submarine
Doug,
Your forgot
those crazies that are trying to build a sub out of concrete
!
Brian
While we are critiquing sub designs in
order to save poor stupid Chinamen. Lets add a couple of other dumb ass
designs to the list.
How about that submarine built from wood, canvas
and tar pitch that uses drug store soda fountain canisters for air
tanks. I guess were too late to talk him out of that foolishness.
Perhapses we can purge Mr Lake from history.
How about the sub with the
armature welding that has no thrusters. Diving by just altering the ballast?
What a nut case. He's bound to get hung up in a net and die. Someone
should have set that kid on the right course. That goodness CBUG is now
only a tourist attraction.
And that Junkyard Wars episode where they
build working subs in just two days. What were they thinking. Lucky
nobody was killed there for sure. Damn the BBC for making this look like
child's play.
Don't get me started on Pat Regan and his death trap. How
can you expect to egress a hatch like that. He doesn't even have an escape
simulator.
Oh! And build a sub out of a jet ski? Please, its
obvious he does not know the first thing about buoyancy control and will end
up surfacing so fast his lungs will explode. He should go back to lurking with
all of the others, until he has a really good idea that truly deserves our
attention.
Hey, remember that kid that wanted to make a sailboat that
could submerge. What a hoot! We sure got ride of him quick. Thinking
like that is toxic you know.
And how about BIG. Can't even open
the hatch from the inside. Even sort of shaped like a coffin. But
Pierre is Canadian so it's what can you expect from a developing
country.
Come on folks. All submarines are not Alvin. If that was the
standard then every PSUB I've seen is a death trap. Some subs a step above
swimming pool toys and just about as dangerous. Because they don't look like a
K-boat or have a carbon dioxide sensor does not make them death traps. And
blasting some guy out of the water like that sure as hell does not encourage
the lurkers to come out of their holes. Put your pompous self inflated
importance on the shelf. See what ideas are out there; and let the next Karl
Stanley or Simon Lake step forward.
Anyway; I bet anyone that breathing
the air in Beijing will kill the Oil Drum guy, not his submarine.
