[PSUBS-MAILIST] CALL FOR SPEAKERS - PC2021

Sat Jul 17 15:17:36 EDT 2021

 Thanks guys, would love to come, but as it stands I would have to isolate for a couple of weeks in a facility at my own expense on return & alsomoving in October. Vero beach & Triton are 80 miles from Orlando (as crow flies), that would be an interesting facility to visit if you could get an invite. Vance knew people there. Alec and I went there unannounced with Snoopy in tow, & were given a tour. Alan

  Sounds good Cliff.  There is plenty to share this year.  We may be able to incorporate ZOOM or similar meeting tool to accommodate those who can't make the trip, but I agree, Alan needs a vacation (sorry, holiday) and should consider trans-continental trip this year.

  Jon, I plan on attending the PC2021 convention.  If times permits, I would like to make three, 20 minute presentations:1) “Evaluation of Over Pressure Valve, OP-1”  - This paper covers the designand testing of an Over Pressure valve model OP-01 manufactured by Alec Symth.  This valve is currently in use on a number ofboats and is specified for the R800.

2) “Evaluation of CruzPro ATU120BT Active Sonar Transducer forManned Submersibles”  - This paper coversthe testing of the CruzPro ATU120BT active sonar transducer conducted on April20th 2021 in Devine, Tx.  The objectiveof the test was to determine if the off-the-shelf (OTS) transducer couldcontinue to transmit NMEA 0183 sentences at a depth of 1,000 fsw.  Based on positive test results, I plan on using this sensor on the R800.
3) “Evaluation of ONWA KA-GC9A 9-Axis Magnetic compass withbuilt-in GPS module for Manned Submersibles” - This paper covers the pottingand testing of the ONWA Marine Electronics, KA-GC9A combination magneticcompass, GPS receiver and boat attitude transducer conducted on June 24-25,2021 in Devine, Tx.  The objective of theproject was to pot the device with a two-part marine epoxy and then test thecustomized unit to determine if the unit could continue to transmit NMEA 0183sentences at a simulated depth of 1,200 fsw.  Again, based on positive test results I plan on using this sensor on the R800.
I personally would like the hear a report(s) on the boats being depth tested at Lake Seneca NY in August.  I would also love to hear a progress report on your K600 mods, particularly the electronics upgrades.  I would also love to hear a report from Alan James on the work he has done on a thruster built using brushless DC motor.  He is probably ready to get out of New Zealand for a while.  Likewise, I would love to hear a report from James Frankland on both his recent work on a emergency scrubber and also on the testing he did on his original scrubber, what he learned and what he has currently installed.  Long trip from England but you could go to Disney World if you made the trip.
Alec Symth and Hank Pronk have done a lot of work on a DIY articulated arm.  Would like hear about that.  Steve McQueen has done an excellent job with his K-2500 build, The Great Escape.  I would love to hear a report about the build particularly the changes he made from the original plans.  Lastly, it has been several months since we have heard anything from Hank Pronk.  That is enough time for him build three subs.  Would love to hear and update on the E3000 as well as the new micro boat he build if he can stand to be out of Canada for a few days.  Lastly my PC2021 convention "Wish List" would not be complete without a paper from Hugh Fulton on the trials and challenges in bringing the Q-Sub to life.

 Hello psubbers,
We are planning the PC2021 convention which will be held in, or around, Orlando Florida this year.  Tentative date is Oct 16, which could change slightly but will be within a few days of that date.  If you are available to travel to the Orlando area mid-October and have a topic that you would like to present to the PSUBS community, please let me know.
It's been a long time since our last meeting and there is lots of new builds and component fabrication that we all want to hear about.  I invite you to submit a topic for presentation at PC2021.
Convention details should be nailed down in another week.
