[PSUBS-MAILIST] Personal_Submersibles Digest, Vol 37, Issue 34

Tue Jul 12 11:26:41 EDT 2016

Has anyone investigated the feasibility of using a diesel powered welding
machine as the power plant in a sub? With onboard engine, generator,
rectification, and voltage regulation putting out high current power at
~30V DC they seem like a rather self-contained way of surface recharging an
electric thruster propelled subs 24V battery bank. Plus, having a welder
permanently aboard an all steel boat seems mighty convenient!

Am I missing something obvious?

I've been lurking the forum for a while, but have never posted anything
until now.
