[PSUBS-MAILIST] test schedule

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

I was just thinking I could put my safety valve on.  When I was getting Gamma ready to test, I built a valve system that went between the sub and the lift rope.  When the lift rope over powers two springs a HP air valve opens and air goes into the MBT.  I have it so might as well use it in case a trawl float or two fail?  Hank

 Hank,
Do you have a plan to lift her back to the surface and tow her back in if she takes on water and becomes heavy? That's a lot of investment in time and money to leave her there.Rick

Big week this,  tomorrow I test the deep dive test system to 100 feet in my favourite lake.  Saturday I drive out to Slocan Lake, then at 6 am Sunday morning I will be on the lake towing Elementary 3000 to the deepest spot, 980 feet.    I will let her sink to the bottom on a rope and let it sit for one hr.  Maybe I should bring a fishing rod for the wait ;-)  Actually I will lift the sub a few feet often to see if it is getting heavier.     Hopefully it will be a success and I will pull her up and tow her home.  I can start diving her after all that, and in the fall I will haul her to Burnaby BC for the pressure pot test to 4,700 feet.  I would do it now but I am unemployed still ;-(Hank
