Hugh,Good point, it would also bolster welding confidence.  I might just do that, I have some heavy cut outs that can be used for the cap and ring.Hank

Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw:  Hi Hugh,Funny you mention that, I happen to have two NG tanks I found at the dump.  Man are they heavy, it was a grunt to load them by myself.  I am worried about the material and welding them.  My feeling is they might be hard to weld safely.  At least with my welding knowledge.    Your right they would make a nice chamber though.  I am picking up my Perry thrusters in the USA on Friday and will give my chamber a go on the weekend.  Hank    On Tuesday, August 18, 2015 5:57 PM, Hugh Fulton via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles at psubs.org> wrote:  Hi Hank,Have a look for some steel NGV (natural gas Vehicle) or CNG  cylinders.  They are rated for 3000 psi generally and there are bound to be some at some scrappy’s yard.  If you can get a 70 litre or such then chop off the top and weld a couple of plates on.  They are at least 10” inside diameter.  I have a couple marked for test chambers.  Good for at least 5000 ft depth test pressure.  Hugh  From: Personal_Submersibles [mailto:personal_submersibles-bounces at psubs.org] On Behalf Of hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Today I had some time to kill, so I built a pressure chamber big enough to fit a thruster.  I can fit 6 by 20 inches up to 2,000 psi.  The chamber was a hydraulic cylinder from a crane and is surprisingly  light.  Next time I have my pressure washer running I will wash it and paint it up nice.  I just have to un-screw the top to open it up.HankOn Tuesday, August 18, 2015 1:27 PM, xxx xxxxx <mp13 at live.ca> wrote:
