Re: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] jettisoning battery pods or other ballast

Exactly the method used on the JSLs for the battery box release. The cam holds a suspension rod under compressive tension. Meaning the battery/chassis connection is strong and immobile. When wound open, the hook is rotated open side down, guaranteeing release. Back of box suspended on bronze bushings. The front is released, battery swings in a short arc down and aft and AWAY you go.

Realy good solution. Press the weight tight to the hull.
