[PSUBS-MAILIST] right side up compensator

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

I like the ROV Oystein, well done.
That compensator would work well for Brian.
Brian's problem is that he made his own thruster & housing which is a bit
of a beast in that it needs gallons of fluid to compensate it.
His concern is to have enough room for oil expansion which is an unknown
quantity. Personally I think he will get more expansion with it sitting out of
water in the sun than running underwater where oil circulating against the
large housing will keep it cool.

I thought the simplest approach, from previous discussions, was just to use a length of hose connected to the oil filled motor on one end and open to water on the other end.  See attachment.  This allows expansion of oil into the hose (blue), but traps a gap of air (white) as water (green) enters the hose during a dive.  Water compresses the trapped air the deeper you go, so designing a large enough gap is important because that air gap can get quite small and potentially result in mixing of the oil and water.  At 300 feet for example, the air gap is only .652 inches (16.5mm) when using a 30 foot (9 meter) hose.
