[PSUBS-MAILIST] Norway expedition

[Antoine Delafargue via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Emile; and all

A dive on Brittanic would be terrific. Would be best to combine with scuba
divers to get nice images of your sub.

For my 200km trip, yes I am aiming for 2018. Just need a bit of funding to
rent the boat and also refine a few things:
find a proper shop close to home to work on the sub.
make nice stainless steel battery boxes to avoid H2 in the cabin,
refine prop blades for extra efficiency,
revise steering control,
add a skirt around the hatch to get extra protection from waves,
buy an ocean reef phone set,
replace a couple batteries (remember the one that sparked in Biscarosse
Emile? well that one won t charge as much as the others... so it kind of
breaks the symmetry of the bank. I noticed also the batteries on the + side
of the 24V seem charging to slightly lower voltage than the ones on the -
side...I wonder whether the batteries like the intermittency of the load
due to our flash LEDs... )

regards,
Antoine
