Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Dumb Question

No questions too "stupid".  Here are a couple of links that are fundamental and provide at least a starting point for understanding submersibles.

First check out:

http://www.submarine.freehosting.net/

These kids put a lot of effort into this project, and I bet learned a hell of a lot as a result.  Not a manned submersible, but the basic concepts are the same.

Second, take look at:

http://members.spree.com/sip/gnip/nemo/submath.html

Here Pat gives you a quick crash course in designing a sub on paper.  Good required info.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Dumb Question

Well I guest that Idea got shot down. so if I were to find a hull of some short how do I figurer out how much it needs to weight. I checked out some web sites and they had nothing. So I tried the volume it holds times the weight of water and it came out extremely high is this equation right or am I just stupid or is my sub too big because I see must of these subs weight 1500lbs. If some one could answered this I would appreciate it.

P.S. thanks for not letting me fumigate my self.
