Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] pressure
compensated outboard
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.
