Brian, When you finally get around to doing calculations to determine
the statics and dynamics of a roll or loop for a PSUB, you will find that it is
a daunting task. Not only are there the battery issues that you are
coming to terms with, you will find that there are stability and power issues
also. You further complicate the issue by wanting to moor the PSUB as a
spar buoy. A normally operating PSUB, one that could roll or loop, and one
that can float as a spar all have radically different hydrostatics/dynamics. R/Jay Respectfully, Jay K. Jeffries Andros Is., Bahamas As scarce as the truth is, the supply has always been in excess of
the demand. -Josh Billings From:

[mailto:owner-personal_submersibles@psubs.org] On Behalf Of Brian Cox Dan,
One design aspect of my sub is that if I want to park it out in the open ocean
I can flip it in a vertical position. It will be able to sit in the
ocean like a spar bouy. That way I gain freeboard, the top hatch would be
2 feet out of the water and the sub would be really stable. What if you have extra electrolyt in the lines, so when they
were tilted 90 degrees there would be no electrolyte that would leave the
battery cells. Brian |
