Vance, We had 16 Kts wind on
open sea. Open hatch = no problem Boarding the sub was
difficult and then you had to go down very quickly otherwise the passengers
down in the sub got seasick in 5 mins.!! Emile Van:

[mailto:owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org] Namens vbra676539@aol.com Looking at the pics I see that the sub
sits high on her ballast tanks, a byproduct of very little weight in the
conning tower/sail area, I expect. It shows a lot of confidence to have the
hatch open on the surface. I'm looking forward to learning more about this
thing. My sub is coming together and will be gone by next summer (I hope) so
perhaps it will then be time to build another submarine. I think you and
Carsten really have come up with a modern Kittredge, and would love to
represent it in this country. Vance

Message----- 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. Emile Van: owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org

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?
