[PSUBS-MAILIST] deep test

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Brain,The original plan was to sink Gamma on a rope from my fishing boat.  Gamma also has a manual timer inside to release air into the MBT's.  I wasn't  getting that warm fuzzy feeling from that plan.  I think I was just being cheap- it is quite expensive doing this testing stuff.  
It is nice you have a good source of lead- have you tried your lead smelter rig.Hank

Okay, apparently my idea for deep testing Gamma is to risky.  So I am back to the safe method.  I have hauled my portable barge home and am going through the hydraulic winch stuff and I have put a nice little diesel engine on the hydraulic pump to power the winch.  The winch is a 12,000 lb Ramsey with home made hydraulic drive.  I am putting a new 1,000 foot spool of 3\8 cable on so I can reach the bottom.  Luckily my pickup truck can tow the barge (6,500 lbs)  so that is nice.  I will haul the barge one day and return with the sub the next.  It is a 12 hr round trip, so this whole adventure will take several days.   I might leave the barge out there and return with Elementary 3,000 and sink it also.Tim, if your around? I will be out there next week.Hank_______________________________________________Personal_Submersibles mailing listPersonal_Submersibles at psubs.orghttp://www.psubs.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/personal_submersibles
