[PSUBS-MAILIST] Battery Pods Question

[James Frankland via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi All

I am making new battery pods for Skadoc.  I am thinking of making
the removable ends slightly different to how I did it on the K.  On that, I
put the flanges on to make like a standard flanged end.  However, I made
them like you would a hatch, ie with the centre of the flange being welded
to the centre of the tube.  So there is overlap on both sides of the ID and
OD of the tube.  Bit difficult to explain.  Pic here of the K ones when I
was making them.

  K350 pod ends.

The problem with these is that the overlap onto the inside diameter of the
tube makes the hole smaller and you cant slide the trays out.

With the new one, I have made rolling trays and I want them to slide
straight out.

So, I am thinking I can make the flanges flush with the inside diameter of
the tube.

I have not started this part yet, so any advice greatly appreciated.


​
Not a very good picture, but new trays with rollers made.

Thanks
James
