[PSUBS-MAILIST] test pool

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Alan,Yes I am between jobs, so my machines are at my shop.  I had to use two excavators for the test, one to lift the sub in and the second to install the ballast weights.  I wish I had James new Bob-Cat material handler.  That would have been deluxe.Hank   On Thursday, August 23, 2018, 6:32:59 PM MDT, Alan via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles at psubs.org> wrote:

Hi All,Today I spent the day balancing E3000 in my test pool.  I was pretty concerned that my calculations may be off and the sub would be out of balance.  The buoyancy tanks are behind the occupant sphere, so I was worried I would not be able to balance it.  Turns out my math is spot on and the sub balanced out perfectly.  My pool is is pretty simple, it is a hole in the ground with a liner.  I have a removable two part lid so animals or people can't fall in.  I will leave it full of water over the winter so I can do the final tests in the spring before the lakes thaw out.  I will send the picture in the next email because I am experimenting to see what size picture I can send from my phone.Hank
