Hi Alan,
Yes manned submersibles is a great introduction but
as you've said, something more specific and relevant needs writing. Over the
last 10 months I've done several searches on the psub sight and you can really
get bogged down sifting through a lot of garbage looking for that gem of
information thats hidden there. And this process will only get worse as our
daily emails are added to this pool. Also as Jon stated we need white papers so
that new people can go to them rather than other forums and have people answer
the same questions over and over. I had suggested that the emails are vetted and
removed from the search pool so its not clogged up with stuff like this email
wich has no relevance to anyone wanting to build a sub.
The purpose of this sight is to help people to
build submarines safely and I think your suggestion would take things to the
level we need to be at.
regards Alan

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Building a
Personal Submersible
?Manned submersibles? is an
interesting book but much of the information doesn?t apply to personal
submersibles and all of it is dated. I?ve written about six pages in
which every topic (I think) is at least mentioned. This is only about
20% of the whole book and it still needs to be organized into chapters but if
everyone who has built a personal submersible reads it and adds a bit, it
would be a decent guide that would not be available anywhere else. You
could then add it to your website and either charge for it or give it away as
you choose. Please note that much of the information is my best guess
rather than an informed opinion. I?ve attached a very rough draft of the
book.
Alan
