would that shape work if there was a cylindrical
pressure hull inside?
i could make the sub (1ATM) look like anything
I want as long as the pressure hull is cylindrical yes?
Here's some About Me info for future reference. It
may help in understanding where I am coming from and add some more DEPTH (heh)
to the discussion:
I have a fine arts background.
I grew up on the Chesapeake Bay and have worked on
the water.
I keep 2 nano reef aquariums.
I like Musclecars and other fast moving
bricks.
I run the biggest goth night in the Boston area.
(thus the larger than life hair on my frappr photo)
I do mechanical drafting and desktop publishing
duties at my dayjob (I am not an engineer though)
I am skilled in;
Pro-Engineer Wildfire (PTC) & Autocad
Adobe Illustrator, Pagemaker, Framemaker, Acrobat
etc... I can typically use any graphic or publishing software I am
given.
I tend to learn fast once I wrap my head around
fundamental concepts.

Bill is correct Patrick, keep that shape ambient. Flat plate design
concentrates stressors. There is a section on the PSUB site regarding this
issue.

Hi Patrick.
I am not an engineer, but the flat sections of
an octagonal hull would not
have as much strength as a round
sphere, egg shape, or cylinder.
That is why most 1 atm subs use those
shapes.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] 1ATM
construction Q?
It seems that steel and acrylic cylindrical/spherical
construction is the predominant method of making 1ATM subs. Can or
has it been done in other ways?
for instance, could I theoretically
build my octagonal hull out of steel or another material and use it as
a 1ATM vessel? has anyone build 1ATM vessels out of something other
that steel? (regardless of dive depth)
