Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Pod



Hi John,
You'd probably need hydraulic rams to open the door, but the pressure inside the
mini sub bay would have to be equalized to the ambient sea water pressure before
you could get them open. This would mean that you would have to have a hatch to seal off
the mini sub bay from the rest of your "Mother sub". You would open the hatch, go into
your mini sub bay, close the hatch, enter your mini sub, close it's hatch & have an
electrical device on board for operating a solenoid valve remotely to flood the bay.
Once flooded you activate another remote controlled device to operate the hydraulics
to open your large mini sub sized doors.
Then on coming back you'd have to have pumps to empty the bay of water & get
the pressure back to atmospheric pressure before getting out.
Well that's one way you might tackle it.

What type of motors can be used to push a "door" open, this is what I want to do, don?t laugh.
 
                                   "mini sub" here
_____________________________________________________________________________________________-------------- bottom of sub
                                                               
    
 
then it opens and releases the mini sub:
 
 
________                                                 _____________________________________________________________-------------- bottom of sub
                                                                |
                                                                |
m sub exits and can go back inside        |
                                                                |
                                                                |
                                                                |
                                                                |
 
                                                              
can this be done?  I know it is ambitious but it would be cool, money is not a problem, but I am not rich.
