[PSUBS-MAILIST] new 1,000m sub

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Alan,No not really, our deepest lake is 2,000 feet.  I am just building it because I can and I always wanted to.  The beauty of it is the size, I can put this sub and my tender together on Gamma's trailer.  I will tow it to dive sites not like Gamma that can cruise long distances.  This new sub will have a smaller battery package.  Hank

I am happy to report that my new 1,000m sub is going forward.  I ordered the heads, and spent the afternoon in my two other 48 in dia subs to make sure the port locations work out and the sub is comfortable.  I will have to sit cross legged, but I find it quite comfortable.   I can lean right into three 6 by 14 conical windows and remain comfortable.  This sub will be very compact and light at  3,000 lbs, it will be a small Pisces really except it will have a  jettisoning  occupant sphere.  I expect to build for 20K and I will do all the machining myself.  Hank
