[PSUBS-MAILIST] Question for the group

[Graham Bayliss]

Thank you for your reply i now have a better idea of how to apply my idea i
will use a lift bag and encase it in a box. I will try it to see how it
works on a model first and the try it on the sub, 

Thank you for your input.

Graham

Graham,
You didn't mention if you are mounting these tubes horizontal or vertical.
If they are vertical, disregard what I said.

 Hi  
 
 Has anyone experimented with a different variable ballast  tank I am
thinking  of making a tube of gas pipe which is made of thick plastic
inside I plan to  fit a bellows air bag, this will be blown up by the air
line  which blows the  water out of the steel ballast tank . One end of the
tank  will be fixed so  as to hold the bellows in place the other end of the
tank  will be drilled  with holes to allow the water to escape and the
bellows to  expand. The  pressure will blow the air out of the bellows when
the  return vale is  opened. This method also eliminates the fear of what
the  inside of the steel  ballast tank is doing due to sea water corrosion. 
Has  anyone any views as  to why this method will not work.

 A club designed sub "OSS - Open Source Submarine" was  attempted years
ago.  It had a good start but stalled soon  afterward.  That kind of
project is difficult to complete unless someone with a clear  vision and
desire to lead the effort takes charge of it.  I don't  think I have it
linked from the main site anymore but the page still exists  at
www.psubs.org/oss if you want to look at it or revive it.
 
 Franks saucer sub was taken over by his daughter.  Her  intent was to
finish it and she did write into PSUBS shortly after Frank's  death
notifying us of that intent, however I have never heard back  from them
again and don't know what ultimately became of the sub.
