Here ya go Frank, Notice that some Seehund's have saddle tanks and some don't. Also notice the third picture down showing the basic pressure hull arrangement. That picture makes me think that basic configuration could be very stable. The whole keel could be a battery pod or two, with drop weights below or to the sides of said battery pod(s). Also the torpedoes, as with the Biber could be battery pods with a large thruster in the end of each one. http://traktoria.org/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seehund Brent From: ShellyDalg@aol.com Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2008 17:18:06 -0400 Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Restoring a Biber (or Beaver) midget submarine To: personal_submersibles@psubs.org On the subject of building a "new" Biber........ Peter's sub Kraka was a beauty, had some of the same lines, and was a seaworthy boat as proven by his many dives. I think a guy wanting a sub of that shape would do well to take his design and add the necessary aspects needed for long term maintenance. Like the K boat designs, it's a proven concept. Can you post a link for the Seahunde? It sounds pretty good too. Frank D. Looking for a car that's sporty, fun and fits in your budget? Read reviews on AOL Autos. |
