[PSUBS-MAILIST] hand pump

Steve,Good points, I think I will make my own pump.  I can make the pump faster than a hydraulic pump by using a larger displacement  plunger but not so large that it is hard to operate.  Hank

 Hi Hank,I reckon a hydraulic bottle or lever jack is something to start with, and you'll struggle to get a hand pump that will do the sort of pressures you want (ie. most applications for air are too low pressure, for hydraulics are higher pressure, and not heaps in between).
But then the capacity of the hydraulic hand pump will be tiny and as was mentioned, it's steel.  Might still be a good starting point for freshwater use regardless, or to reverse engineer and make a stainless one.
Here's a thought experiment that may be useful:If you have 1L of water that you want to move from inside the sub (1atm) to outside (31atm at 300m water depth), that's equivalent in required energy to pulling up a 1L bucket from a 300m deep well.  That's quite a bit of manual effort just for 1L.  If it's 10L, well, screw doing that manually I say :)
Cheers,Steve

Alan,I need full depth pressure rating so I can sink fast without thrusters then pump out some water at depth to go neutral.   I can't wast air like Gamma because I have no onboard compressor.   Hank

 Hank,why not use an electric pump used on boats & have valves to operatevarious other functions. They are reasonably small, 12V & built for marine conditions.Can't recall what psi they go up to, but saw some rated 130 psi.Cheers Alan

I use these at work sometimes:http://www.enerpac.com/en-us/industrial-tools/hydraulic-pumps-and-valves/hydraulic-manual-pumps-0Don't know what they cost though.Sean

Hi All,I am looking for a hand pump to remove water from my trim tank.  It will work like a DW.  I will empty the air out of the mbt and then flood a small plastic tank inside the sub.  Any ideas?Hank
