RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Another Oil Barrel Sub
Does anybody remember my oil drum sub? A mock up actually, at the
convention up in Portland ! A very tight squeeze !! I tried to widen a 55
gal drum to increase the inside diameter - not a very good mock up. I
destroyed that thing a long time ago ( had to cut it up into pieces to get
rid of it!). Now I'm taking a lesson from Phil N. , I'm building a "
inside" mock up out of wood. As apposed to an outside mock up. The inside
mock up only cares about the dimensions on the inside, that way the out side
is all support structure. I previously made a "outside" mock up to tell me
how I was doing for how the cylinder would fit in my space. So I'm having
to build two mock ups for the same cylinder - no way around it ! It's going
to take a fair amount of wood in any event. At least this one will serve as
some firewood on the beach some day!

Thats Gerald Turner's boat, UK.
I have a short view seconds video of it and
it was labelt by the speaker as the "cheapest submarine in the world".
Intressting is the flat hatch seal. Its a plain steel disk just bended a
little
like a banana. The force of the dog make it flat and this force press the
flat soft rubber gasket tight..
I think the dive depth will be closer to 5m instead 10.
This should be a good example of a 1atm boat which can easy extend his dive
depth 2-3 times if you make the cabin with compress air ambient.
