Hi David. Dual dive planes front and back is logically the best way to
maneuver a submarine. I just wonder how complicated the mechanism would be, and
how tough it would be to operate them with all the other things like rudders,
motors, etc. If you had a computer to take some of the tasks it might be easier,
but I just don't trust them enough. I was thinking it would be easier to have my
hard interior ballast slide forward/back to adjust dive angle. It wouldn't need
to slide much, and an electric screw actuator would slide it very quickly.
The "sled" will ride on 4 little steel wheels within an angle iron
frame below the floor of my sub. I hope to start fabricating that
part real soon. Frank D. Psssst...Have you heard the news? There's a new fashion blog, plus the latest fall trends and hair styles at StyleList.com. |
