[PSUBS-MAILIST] pressure compensated outboard

["ojaivalleybeefarm @dslextreme.com" <ojaivalleybeefarm@dslextreme.com>]

I have an idea for a pressure compensated outboard engine so as to give surface power for my sub.   Basically it would be a "can" that would cover an outboard engine with an opening on the bottom.  There would be a float valve located near the bottom of the opening so when I submerge, as the water begins to move up into the cylinder, compressing the air, the float valve would inject air.  That way it would keep a constant volume of air in the outboard engine compartment.  As you assend the extra air would simply expand out the bottom.
