[PSUBS-MAILIST] K350 Salvage concept...

[<lawrie-psubs@environics.com.au>]

Well its been quiet a few hours of revision.

The result is hosted at psubs:

The difficult part to this concept has been working out how to create a 
structure around the K350 that would be stand alone so that the 
pilot/observer pressure vessel can be realised for their journey to the 
surface in an emergency.  Working on the surface condition of the center 
pod.

I figure the chassis lateral section could be cast alluminum and the 
various component parts and bracing stainless tig welded to the 
alluminum.

There are six bounancy tanks, three in each wing.  Forward there are 
four, aft two.  On the horizontal to the center of bounancy are two VBT 
tanks port and starboard.  The idea is to move water one to the other to 
create banking so as to create a obit arrangement to circle an area of 
interest.

Two motors, one under each wing turned inward 5 degrees for steerage. A 
forward and aft plane, however perhaps there is need for an additional 
motor which could be mounted along the center line on either the forward 
or aft plane, or two as in both.

Pretty well scoped out the dimensions rule of thumb and need to do the 
detailed maths but hopefully my first past is reasonable close to 
approximaate dimensions.


The difficult part is going to control the elevators, air supply to 
bounancy, motors etc which needs to take into account the emergency 
release of the center pod. Thinking IR interface and two peep viewports 
very close proximity to each other, no through hull just the one big 
bolt at the bottom and four lateral pins to keep the pod in place.

Comments, id of any errors, and improvement suggests most welcomed.


Best regards to all.

Lawrie, Brisbane.
