[PSUBS-MAILIST] escape pod

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

James,I like option 2 except I would not blank out the ports unless you need another penetrator plate.  Rear ports would be nice to see whats going on in the back.  Hank

 Option 2.  Again, forget about ballast tanks etc.  Boat goes the other way around.  Viewports added at the new front end.  Lockout hatch becomes dome\escape port.  Better view.  Engine does not have to slide on rails.  More work. Basically I am just thinking at the moment. Workshop still being built.  Plenty of time to think but this is as far as ive got.  Obviously viewports at the new aft end are blanked off where necessary.

Idea 1.  Forgetting about ballast tanks, battery pods etc.  Just position of engine and viewports.  Engine would be on sliding rail to allow access to lockout hatch for emergency escape.  Brown thing is engine, red bit gearbox. Probably the simplest configuration.  (I want to keep this boat super simple for speedy build.) Im at work.  Only got MS paint to draw with....

​Hi Hank,
Not 100% sure yet.  I'm just thinking aloud really.   I really don't know what configuration to go for with the new sub.  Priority 1 is to have a diesel engine. This is the current configuration.  Thing bottom left is lockout hatch.  Will send some more of my thinkings...
