<pre class="k9mail"><br />Brian,<br />I think a good fabricator will provide what you ask for. Edmonton Exchanger is a pretty Kik Ass outfit.<br />Building an escape pod may seem excessive I suppose, but I am just not feeling comfortable at depths that I can not swim out of. I can build the pod for under 5K, that seems like pretty cheap insurance. Remember I am not a diver and I will spend most of my time at 400feet. <br />I did consider building a second Gamma, just make a copy. It is much cheaper to build a pod and pretty quick also. I am not sure I could build a replica Gamma by spring. <br /><br />Hank<hr /><br />On Fri, 7/24/15, Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<br /><br /> Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] roundness<br /> To: "Personal Submersibles General Discussion" <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br /> Received: Friday, July 24, 2015, 1:01 PM<br /> <br /> Basically what it boils down to is<br /> how humanly possible
it is to get it as near as perfect as<br /> you can. If you first instruct the fabricators to get<br /> it as close as possible, then you need to go from<br /> there. You can always massage it into a perfect sphere<br /> by using the proper amount of leverage. <br /> <br /> It seems to me, though, if you're going to have an<br /> escape pod you might as well just build another sub for all<br /> the trouble it will be worth.<br /> <br /> Brian <br /> <br /> --- personal_submersibles@psubs.org<br /> wrote:<br /> <br /> From: hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br /> To: Personal Submersibles General Discussion <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br /> Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] roundness<br /> Date: Fri, 24 Jul 2015 11:04:30 -0700<br /> <br /> I see you are a visual guy like me.<br /> Hank<br /><hr /><br /> On Fri, 7/24/15, Brian Cox via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><br /> wrote:<br /> <br />
