[PSUBS-MAILIST] Q-Sub

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

I like the picture below from Hugh's site.
I have seen it in progress & it's an impressive piece of machinery.
I believe the original electronics guy has moved on & that would constitute
Some nightmares for anyone following who has to get a grips on what he has done
& the complexities of a submarine that is a boat that dives & is being built to
G.L. Standard.
What needs doing to get her in the water Hugh?
Cheers Alan

>> On the R300 we also carry a bathroom scale and try to measure operator at time of dive.  On touchscreen, operator enters this weight. The PLC calculates the ballast needed and adjust the longitudinal position of a 100 lb trim weight hydraulically so that when the boat is flooded , the boat will be approximately trim.  This is necessary as pilot is forward of the boat CG.  I have ballast weights that are color coded and are designed to sit at the longitudinal CG of the boat.  Data logger records the operator weight.  Predive checklist checks that ballast has been added.

Most people only have a vague idea how much they weigh, and the reality is that their weight changes daily, throughout the day, and depending on what they are wearing and carrying. During the PLRP I noticed that Nuytco had a bathroom scale on the crane barge and the DW2000 pilots were weighed each time they got into the sub. External weights were then added or removed as necessary.

David and I both came to the conclusion that a weight chart is in order with well marked weights.  So when your passenger is ready, just look up their weight on the chart and cross reference the required weight in the sub.
