Looking good Lawrie,
Just one minor thing I noticed was that the snorkel could ensnare a
rope,
net etc.
Regards Alan

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Dart 37 diesel electric concept drawings...
GoodyaDay to all,
Like the idea of those light weight batteries. Have you also seen
the development of flexible solar panels, some are so flexible that
you can wrap them around a mast.
The Dart project, heres the concept...
The mid-ship section has a large bounancy section that when surfaced
doubles as a accessway between the pilot/crew pods and the aft engine
room.
Have the new drawings on the home page www.psubs.engineer.net.au
I have desiged it in such a way that linkages between controls and
planes and rudder are mechanical.
Reasonable freeboard, may need some wave deflection foward of the
mid-ship viewport. Perhaps something that can fold away when
submerged.
Also a snokel arrangement which is isolated from within the mid-ship
bounancy compartment.
For trim, two oil tanks fwd and aft with a 2-way pump.
Looking closely at the diesel/electic arrangement i.e. one diesel
and generator + compressor, two permanent magnet motors, and two
battery pods, one for each electric motor.
Drop weight, still working on two idea. One drop a section of the
keel directly below CofG, or have two rails that all cannon balls of
steel roll out from the bow the stern. Only problem with the second
option is if your in a nose down attitude when you need to drop
weight. I figure that all the components that could possibly result
in a leak are astern to the midship pilot pod. Thus a leak results in
stern down. Hope that makes sense.
Anyway comments and ideas always welcomed.
Cheers,
Lawrie.
