[PSUBS-MAILIST] Update on Pisces VI and stuff for sale

[via Personal_Submersibles]

Syntactic does not shrink, per se. Water absorption is the enemy. The foam is actually slightly more buoyant at 6000 feet due to the increase of water density. And P6 will have a good bit more than a thousand pounds aboard, although less than it had in combination with the original aft ballast sphere.

Scott,   Do you know the approximate cubic feet of the syntactic foam ?   1000' , does that mean it will go that deep before shrinking ?

Hello everyone!,

It has bee crazy in the Midwest lately. I thought I would give everyone an update on Pisces VI. The personnel sphere has been completely painted and restored, the vehicle is completely apart and the design direction has been selected. The next steps are to restore the frame and the VBT's, fabricate the personnel cage, as well as data gathering for what thrusters, sonar, underwater comms, batteries, locator, and nav equipment we will be using. We plan to have this all done by the end of the year. The next steps after the beginning of the year will be to plan out the personnel sphere lay out and put it together as well as finalize the weights and balances. Our design will keep the similar Pisces shape but be only 18' long and weigh around the 15,000 lb area. Be sure to stay tuned on www.piscessub.com


Also I will be selling a lot of extra equipment and am open to offers. All the purchases go towards helping Pisces VI complete her restoration and become ABS recertified.
