[PSUBS-MAILIST] internal variable ballast

[emile via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,

 

Ah, little air in the  MBT. Works also. I have to do this sometimes as a passenger is heavier than the VBT can compensate.

Emile,

I agree silt can be a problem, but if I am carful, I can stop before the bottom by adding air to my MBT and then push the sub down.  It has not been a problem.  Also, I have no room because I just added a range extending battery pack behind the pilot seat.

Hank,

 

Consider refitting; it so good to have one..

I dive the sub always an few Lbs/Kg to light. Lifting the sub from a lake bottom will create a silt out..

Brian,

I have no VBT in Gamma.  Gamma was designed with a VBT, but early on it was removed.  Gamma is meant to dive 15 lbs heavy, that is according to the operators manual.

Hank,     

                Do you have a internal variable ballast ?  If so, what kind of capacity does it have?   I think I'm going to opt for a pump for my internal tank rather than compressed air, much easier!
