<DIV><BR></DIV><BR>Bob,<BR>I was wondering what happened to you. I can most certainly make a trip down to give a hand if your stuck. I can take my bride down for some shopping :-) <BR>Email me at hankpronk@live.ca and we can set it up for next weekend. I have been wanting to see what you doing.<BR>Hank --------------------------------------------<BR>On Mon, 1/12/15, via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles@psubs.org> wrote:<BR>

My name is Bob Travis. I<BR> don't know how to make my name show up on my emails like<BR> the rest of the group and I apologize for not signing my<BR> question. I have watched the threads for years now and I<BR> met some of you at the Psubs convention in Washington this<BR> last year (I was the one that no one was expecting). But<BR> for the most part, I have just watched,<BR> read and attempted to learn. <BR> <BR> A little background... I started dreaming about a sub<BR> in 2005. My wife (aka.. the read head) gave me permission<BR> to proceed, but of course, has occasionally put up some road<BR> blocks which has delayed things a bit. I started the<BR> actual construction a little over 5 years ago. I have<BR> studied Trustworthy, Persistence and Guernsey Submarine as<BR> well as snoopy and some of the other boats on the<BR> site and have gained great a great bit of knowledge and<BR> direction. I have also learned an amazing amount from<BR> reading the threads from the group. <BR> <BR> About me... I am the quiet one that sits in the<BR> back of the class not wanting any attention. I have a huge<BR> problem with putting myself out there. I live in Eastern<BR> Washington and I am building a K-350...... and, because of<BR> the above, have not posted my project pictures on the<BR> site. I keep thinking that I am going to do this but I<BR> just haven't taken the time (or built up the nerve). I<BR> am a pencil pusher. I don't have a mechanical bone in<BR> my body! So some of the most basic things are very<BR> difficult for me to get my arms around. Want to negotiate<BR> a $500,000 deal, I'm your guy! Want to hook up an<BR> electrical panel... Ahhhhhhh???????? I have made<BR> almost all of my structural parts, have had them welded and<BR> am now working on my electrical and have not a clue what I<BR> am doing at this point. I am struggling with some of the<BR> most basic items (like finding the correct ampere meter) and<BR> for some reason have a mental block on how to proceed. I<BR> really appreciate your response and will follow the<BR> link!<BR> <BR> I am at the point where the red head has told me to<BR> "get that stupid thing done" and I am not going to<BR> question it! With her recent permission, I have a renewed<BR> energy level and will be doing what ever possible so that I<BR> am testing in August! So with that said, I am going to be<BR> asking a bunch of very basic, stupid questions! I will do<BR> my best to go back through the archives as to not bog the<BR> group down with previous topics.<BR> <BR> Hank... Any chance you will be making a journey to<BR> Spokane any time soon???<BR> <BR> Thanks again everybody!!! And with your help, and a<BR> little luck, I will be dragging my boat to the next Psubs<BR> convention on the east coats so you all can teach me how to<BR> dive it!<BR> <BR> Bob<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> From:<BR> "Alan James via Personal_Submersibles"<BR> <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR> To: "Personal Submersibles General<BR> Discussion" <personal_submersibles@psubs.org><BR> Sent: Sunday, January 11, 2015 5:01:59<BR> PM<BR> Subject: Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST]<BR> Brushless motor<BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> <BR> Hi,<BR> not sure<BR> who I am talking to, but the brushless motors put out a lot<BR> less<BR> electronic<BR> noise, so less interferance with sensitive<BR> equipment.<BR> They<BR> don't wear out as quickly, as they don't have<BR> brushes, & you get more power <BR> for the<BR> same size unit.
