[PSUBS-MAILIST] MBT

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

 David, it takes two solenoid valves so one is at the top when at surface and one when it is submerged.  There is a vent pipe below pointing toward the centre of the sub.  There will be a stopper to prevent the tank from going above the other MBT's.  that height will be determined when I put it in the test pool.Hank

 Hi Hank, I doodled your fabrication and have some questions.How are you draining the tank, it seems like there will be trapped air.How are you controlling the swing of the arm once filed with air? It seems like it will have a lot of movement while in the surface depending on the sea state.Does the tank have an open area that we cannot see in the image?Interesting concept to increase surface stability.
Best Regards,

Tim. There will be two solenoid valves per tank to accommodate the vent position
