Jon,
I've studdied the blueprints and the pods that I have built and I keep comming back to the same issue that bothers me. The pods are 1ATM and the seals that they show to keep sea water from going into the pods are the two "O" rings. It just seems to me like with the shaft spinning at that speed they would leak or would chew up the "O" rings. Any ideas? The tru hulls I have on my sub are redesigned from the original design which gives me a little better ease of mind for those. My design is supposed to be "weep" proof. Maybe I am just over engineering these things.
Thanks,
Scott Waters
