Brent, The images of the valve on the inflatable pontoon is the fill
valve, not the relief valve. It works in a similar manor but is reversed
in this case. R/Jay Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., Bahamas As scarce as the truth is, the supply has always been in excess of
the demand. -Josh Billings From:

Hartwig Emile your SS
overpressure valve you have a picture of on your site is very interesting.
Do you have any more pictures of it when taken apart? I would like to see
the seal on it if you don't mind. It looks like a larger metal version of
the valve I found on my friends inflatable pontoon boat. I was
thinking of an idea for making a piston vent valve for my MBT's a couple
of days ago and when I got to my friends place that same day I found this
valve that worked much like I was thinking, except the valve would seal in
reverse of what it does, just like Vance's mushroom valves. Here are some
pictures of that valve on the pontoon boat.
From: emile@airesearch.nl Hi, The
plan of my earlier mentioned project “Drebbel” chanced a little. The
owner of the divebase at lake Hemmoor wanted to have a sub. Specs
are pretty close to my earlier plans so Carsten and I made a agreement with
him. We design and produce parts and the sub will be sold as a building kit. http://www.airesearch.nl/index_bestanden/Page424.htm
click on “kreidesseesub” I hope to inspire people with the
picture log! We
hope to launch in summer 2009. Best
regards, Emile van Essen |
