In case I have to use it, I undo 8 bolts that hold it to the sub, then climb in the pod. The water pressure will hold the pod tight against the reinforcing ring while the bolts are removed. I will have a control rod that extends from the flood valve to the pod. I pull the rod that opens the flood valve, I close the hatch immediately and wait for the pressure to equalize. The pod releases and orients itself vertical with the hatch pointing to the surface and heads to the surface. I release air from a small hp tank inside that inflates a bladder (truck inner tube) to keep the sphere upright at the surface and provides a safe amount of freeboard. I have the port in the hatch so I know whats going on. <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1442691105932_2762"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'>Hank<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><div><div><div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>On Saturday, September 19, 2015 1:24 PM, Alan James via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:</span><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt;background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div id=yiv8043547806><div><div><div id="yiv8043547806yui_3_16_0_1_1442689340568_4023"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'>Looks good Hank,<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yiv8043547806yui_3_16_0_1_1442689340568_4025"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'>I'm still not sure how it's going to operate, but I guess it will become<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yiv8043547806yui_3_16_0_1_1442689340568_4026"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'>clearer as you post pics of it installed.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yiv8043547806yui_3_16_0_1_1442689340568_4026"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'>Alan<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div id="yiv8043547806yui_3_16_0_1_1442689340568_4136"><div id="yiv8043547806yui_3_16_0_1_1442689340568_4135"><div id=yiv8043547806yqt62165><div id="yiv8043547806yui_3_16_0_1_1442689340568_4134"><div class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center;background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'><hr size=1 width="100%" align=center></span></div><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black'> hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>><br><b>To:</b> Personal Submersibles General Discussion <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> <br><b>Sent:</b> Sunday, September 20, 2015 3:58 AM<br><b>Subject:</b> [PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw:</span><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div id="yiv8043547806yui_3_16_0_1_1442689340568_4138"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div id=yiv8043547806><div id="yiv8043547806yui_3_16_0_1_1442689340568_4140"><div id="yiv8043547806yui_3_16_0_1_1442689340568_4139"><div id="yiv8043547806yui_3_16_0_1_1442678102908_3020"><p class=MsoNormal style='background:white'><span style='font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:black'>Here is my escape pod under a vacuum test.
