Thanks Vance. Yea, where I am stuck currently is the pressure calcs on 516 gr 70. My question was how thick of 516 gr 70 for a 60" sphere would it have to be to handle 3300 feet (2000 psi for safety margin. My second question is how positivly or negatively boyant would that be. I can reaily get hemispherical heads of 516 gr 70.</DIV><DIV>Thanks,</DIV><DIV>Scott Waters</DIV><DIV><BR></DIV><DIV><BR></DIV><DIV><DIV style="color: rgb(87, 87, 87); font-size: 9px;">Sent from my U.S. Cellular® Smartphone</DIV></DIV><DIV></DIV><BR><BR>-------- Original message --------<BR>From: via Personal_Submersibles <BR>Date:01/08/2015 5:01 PM (GMT-06:00) <BR>To: personal_submersibles@psubs.org <BR>Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Scott's new sub <BR><BR><FONT color="black" face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3"><FONT size="3"><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">You'll get plenty of encouragement from us, I would think, along with an appropriate amount of razzing.

Well, not listening exactly, because he went ahead in spite of them, and looks pretty cheerful about the results. Who wouldn't be?</FONT></FONT>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">And speaking of Idabel, have you thought about multiple spheres? I talked to Karl in New Orleans a couple of years ago, and did some figuring afterwards. A couple of intersecting 5' spheres with a free flooding sail and a few small cameras might get you a 5-tonnish sub. Do the big Perry style viewport in front with maybe some 12-inchers on either side in both hulls? Maybe a dome hatch/conn on top in the back sphere? It might need some foam to float, but that isn't much of a problem these days. Hmm.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="3">Idabel's aft sphere and conning tower are A516GR70, in case you were wondering. You'd have to run some numbers. Maybe .75" wall? I'm not sure. Something to think about, anyway. And small is good for psubs, right?</FONT></DIV>

<DIV>
<DIV>The records I have of Pisces say they are made of HY-100 and capable to 2000 meters. </DIV>
</DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>1000 feet isn't enough of a challenge for me. My goal is 3,300 feet or more, but may have no choice to shallow it up because of material, but we will see. The plan is to have enough redundancy and enough safety features like jettisonable manipulator arms and even a jettisonable personel sphere that it is as safe as it can be at that depth.</DIV>

I don't know what your planning with a 1,000m capable sub. I can't imagine diving that deep with no means of rescue. Are you planning on two subs maybe? Don't get me wrong, I love the idea. What about copying one in 516-70 and live with the depth capability.
