[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: skirt

[T Novak via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,

Why not a big farm tractor tire tube, or perhaps two welded together but with separate air cells?

I don’t think Cousteau had much success with his inflatable skirt effort.  The saucer and his one man subs were boarded on Calypso's deck, hatches locked down, then craned over the side to launch.  Recovery was the reverse.  You already know that Cousteau was envious of the Nektons' sub launching capabilities.  The Mir pair is handled similarly to the Cousteau subs with even more effort.  Can't beat a hard CT. 

I think Sgt Pepper's could use a CT with view ports.  This would allow sitting headroom along with easier deployment.

Kieth,

The lift tube is a big bag, I need a tube that the hatch can open inside.  The idea is to have a sail that is collapsible and buoyant.

Hank,

 

How about using a commercial salvage lift tube. They are  rated for heavy loads and very durrable.

Hi All,

Anyone have an idea what I can use to make an inflatable skirt like the one in the picture?
