Hi Vance, Some pictures on a
Croatian news page. You can see the axe bow of the capsized ship! http://www.slobodnadalmacija.hr/Mozaik/tabid/80/articleType/ArticleView/articleId/81450/Default.aspx can be translated by
google. I have a lot of
pic’s but I have to ask because its intellectual property. The main reason for
having battery’s in a separate compatiment is safety. For the Eurosub we
choose good quality AGM battery’s which are unlikely to explode. The 7,2 Kw/h proved enough
for whole day diving. This was without long surface transit. Van: owner- Is the
Garibaldi Expedition web page off line for more sub pics (I hope)? -----Original
Message----- Or a keel box or radially bisected pod
open to the hull (sealed inside with a lid) like the old PC-5 or the Nekton
series. That would provide a separate compartment for the batteries but do away
with the leak problem completely. I don't have the engineering expertise to
calculate such a thing, but ABS bought off on those boats, so one must assume
that it can be done. PC-5 has a 20" tube section with one small hatch
forward to pull batteries through (an enormous pain in the butt, according to
the guys who worked on it). The nektons have an aluminum box top, o-ring
sealed that screws down to the projecting edges of the steel box keel, which
exposes the eight batteries from one end to the other (harder to build but
easier to maintain). What do you think, Carsten? A 1.2m X Vance -----Original
Message----- Rootssub? Make one central Pod under the pressure hull. If it flood it increase the MG stability and maybe partly compensate the FSEffect.. vbr Carsten <vbra676539@aol.com> schrieb:> > Can't argue with that.> > So, what do I call the first Eurosub built in the US?
