RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Escape Mockup



I think all of your ideas are marvelous!

 

I have heard of a fellow out by where I live who brought a large out-of-ground pool, and mounted a cross-section of an airplane on a hoist system. He would then shut the small section up, and it would be waterproof. His wife [or son, I don not know for sure] would be operating the hoist system, and would drop him or an occupant down there. Either another diver is in the pool, or manually opened, a small nozzle is opened to allow for flooding. You then have to practice putting on an oxygen system and tanks, and manually fill the mockup with water via a full until it is completely full of water, which makes it easier to open the hatch and simply swim out.

 

No pictures as of yet, my apologies. I was thinking that [although] that system is used for a small aircraft mockup, the same principle can be applied to a submarine mockup, etc.

Joe...Just what I was thinking. Great idea. Maybe made of fiberglass, or even rigid plastic sheet. Something to enclose a space but maybe you could "punch" through if someone panicked. Practice is a good thing. Frank D.
