[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Gamma's cart

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Tim,
That is the plan exactly.  The cart can travel with the sub using the engine driven alternator as the power source.  I am trying to decide if the floatation tanks that will be added up top should act like ballast tanks.  I could raise Gamma higher, but is it worth the complexity.

 Hank,
 
 Perhaps you could set the cart's ballast
 tanks up like a miniature floating
 dry dock
 on wheels.

 The corner verticals should be high enough to
 house the engine and pumps
 when the cart is
 submerged to its maximum depth to launch and recover
 Gama.
 HURL uses something similar to launch
 and recover their Pisces IV in blue
 water,
 however their platform submerges fully to get below the off
 shore
 heave and surge.
