[PSUBS-MAILIST] Great White mods

[vbra676539 at aol.com]

Joe,


The external deck mounted scuba tanks are for hookah rigs, as I understand it. The rest of it seems to have been built in aluminum angle to contain big MBTs and shield the other equipment. Still no manipulator. He could really use one of those, maybe a ball-and-socket variant welded in next to the front viewport? The wheels are a cool little addition. Obviously they have enough bearing strength, and they can launch and retrieve off channel ramps rather than trying to find a boat ramp and trailer tongue long enough to back the whole thing down. Neat solution.

Jim, 



Did you catch the external "Rescue Ballast" valve handles? I really liked that! Clearly marked and self explanatory, much like the canopy release on military AC.


The rest of the design is harder to follow the train of thought. It would be helpful to see a cutaway, wire-frame, or ghosted image. Did I miss one somewhere?

Yeah, Scott is a great guy, but he's a man on a mission.  I'm sure he will read the emails referencing Great White or Undersea Voyager project.
 
I suspect the interior materials used were either synthetic wood flooring or synthetic decking material.  Both are far superior to real wood for this application, but you would have to check for off-gassing properties both from general usage in a confined space or in the event of a fire.

Thanks Jim, 

  


  
Somehow   I get the feeling this fellow Scott is too busy for chit chat!

Joe,
  
 
  
If you got to http://www.underseavoyagerproject.org/ and scroll down   to the Mission Video you'll see some shots of the interior, but there is no   description of the materials used.
  
 
  
Here's another video before its latest makeover:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-XGT8rPZs8

Jim,
    


    
There is a photo somewhere of that subs interior. One can clearly see     longitudinal slats mounted inside and over the ribs.
    


    
I'd like to know what those are as they give the interior a smother     neater appearance and an apparent mounting surface.

Here's another article showing the external mods to Great       White.  It doesn't look much like a K-250 anymore.  There's a       photo gallery about 70% of the way down.  -Jim
