[PSUBS-MAILIST] Bladder MBT's

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

 Sean,  Agreed a empty tube would work great but like you said it would impede my view downwards.  The bags ar 36 inches by 27 inches by 15 inches inflated.  I don't have to fully inflate them because they are over size to what I need.  I was thinking a hinged, curved wing, so the wing drops down clearing my view.  The bags are pretty tough because they are rated for 65 psi internal pressure.Hank

 Hank, I presume that keeping minimum profile is a design criterion? My first thought was lightweight but rigid tubes that the bladder can expand into, but of course that doesn't save any space. What is the shape and dimensions of the inflated bladder?

Hi All, I have ordered a 50 gallon water bladder to experiment with for MBT's on my little sub project.  The bladders are pretty tough because they are rated for 65 psi.  I have to figure out how to secure them to the sub.  I am thinking a fold away panel, or spring loaded straps.  They have a 1.25 inch fitting on the top and on the end when laying flat.  I need some ideas?  I will have two side bags and one behind the sphere.Hank_______________________________________________
