 Hi David. Well, sorry, but the test chamber has been on hold for a while. 
I'm going over to the iron shop for pricing on my stainless ballast tanks this 
week, and I'll try to get the flanges needed for the window. I want to be able 
to video the test with a good view of the unit as the pressure builds. I have 
everything for the chamber except the two flanges. Once I get them, it won't 
take long to weld it all up. The testing Les did sounds really good. As for the 
salt water test, relating to the difference between salt and fresh, I'd be 
surprised if the difference was that great. I wonder if part of the difference 
was that open salt water has more debris in the water, and any large body of 
water like a harbor or ocean or whatever is bound to have a lot of background 
noise from things like tiny creatures clacking away, possible boats within the 
area, waves slapping against the shore, and generally the ocean is a pretty 
noisy place. Sound carries really far through water, and with Les testing that 
system in a pond covered with ice ( BRRRRRR!!!) it would have been a pretty 
quiet place to test in. I'll get on that chamber, and again, sorry for the 
delay. Frank D. A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!  |
