<DIV>There is no movement of the air pistons when they are not in use – that is,
there is no air in the pistons once you exhaust the pressurization air back into
the one atmosphere cabin. The pistons are then dead-headed until you energize
them again. Note that this simple little system is designed to be used while the
sub is on the bottom. I have used it up off bottom but it gets pretty busy
maintaining position by VBT or upthrust and operating the manip valves at the
same time.</DIV>
<DIV>If you really want to go ultracheap on an electric manip, buy a reversible
dc electric drill, stick it in a thin walled tube, fill it with oil, set it on
slow and use the rotation to operate a rack and pinion system which gives you a
lineal movement like a piston (run the rotary shaft through a camera case
style o ring gland or an imperial tubing fitting or a swagelock style
compression fitting with an oring or teflon ring substitiuting for the
compression olive or the metal compression ring)– rack and pinion all stay out
side in the water. We built several of these to use with a small ROV and it
worked OK – (also used two drill motors for propulsion on the ROV!)</DIV>

<DIV>Yes, as Vance says we did work up a pneumatic manip for the original ‘Sea
Urchin’ sub. The design criteria was: brute simple, three functions
(extend/retract, swing 90 degrees each side/ jaw open/close) and, above all,
CHEAP!! we used air cylinders, plastic tubing and three-way valves – one for
each function. The valves exhausted back into the sub cabin. The system pressure
was about 200 psi, as I recall, and the manip was operated independently from a
scuba pony tank mounted outside for that purpose. System pressure was kept
at 200 psi over bottom, regardless of depth by the first stage of a scuba
regulator with the spring shimmed to 200 psi and the reg yoked to the tank in
the usual fashion. Very simple system and it worked well – the exhaust into the
cabin was so small as to cause only a slight increase in cabin pressure because
the piston area is only a couple of square inches. Over pressure on a move into
shallower water was avoided by a circle-seal non-return vent valve – same one
used to suck a vacuum on the sub before diving. </DIV>
<DIV>I have some pretty good pictures of the manip on Sea Urchin which I’ll try
to dig up and post. Speaking of Sea Urchin, I have often toyed with the the idea
of putting out a Sea Urchin Kit – ala Kitteridge - but don’t know how much
interest there would be.</DIV>

That said, if it's cheap and it works (even if it's a pain in the ass) then it's
worth having. Subs should be able to DO something, not just cruise around like
an oversized camera housing with motors. I'd give serious consideration to the
ball and socket arm, which functions adequately down to about 600 feet
(according to the boys who have used them). We figure one would cost about
$500-600 USD to machine, plus material and welding. A thousand bucks or a little
more isn't bad, considering there are exactly three moving parts in the whole
thing (as opposed to a hydraulic system which has about 3 moving parts to the
running inch).</FONT> </FONT>

<DIV>One more question Vance & I'll leave you in peace</DIV>
<DIV>for a week.</DIV>
<DIV>For a small non commercial submersible operating to 500 ft</DIV>
<DIV>that has a very limited use for a manipulator other than it being there
</DIV>
<DIV>just in case we come across some item of value. Is a pneumatic manipulator
a good</DIV>
<DIV>option? Air is already there & wouldn't be consumed much because</DIV>
<DIV>of the limited use. No noise & expensive space consuming hydraulic
system.</DIV>
<DIV>And as you say there are options for lifting heavier items.</DIV>
<DIV>Thanks,</DIV>

<DIV>I've seen the discussion. The smallest sub I know of with a
manipulator on board is the Deepworker. No exfra tanks there.
Metacentric vs CG works in all directions. Yes, you get movement and no
it's not a problem in my experience. I did operate the bigger subs but
also smaller ones, to include Aquarius, briefly in a DW, plus three
different K-boats, so speak with some experience. You put everything you
imagine on a small sub, you get a big sub. In any case, It's probably
best to think of a psub as a work in progress. Get the boat done, go
play, scratch head, get more work done, go play, scratch head......and
so it goes.</DIV>
