[PSUBS-MAILIST] ballast idea

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Not sure what you mean there Hank.No air should come out of the 2nd stage regulator unless there is apresure difference on it's diaphram.Are you wanting just a slower flow of low pressure air or are you thinking of some sort of automatic hovering system.P.S. wonder what will happen to the American dollar when Donald Trumpbecomes president?Alan

When I dive with a passenger  the sub is more difficult to control. I don't bother with fine weight adjustments.  If Gamma is 50 lb over weight, I don't worry about it.  I just add air to the ballast faster than normal.  When training my kids, it is tricky for them.  I have a solution, maybe.  I am thinking about having an external scuba first and second stage regulator connected to each ballast tank.   As soon as the hatch is under, send air to the first stage regulator, then use thrusters to sink.  Or, start sinking slowly then send air to the regulator to maintain sink speed.  Might be fun to play with.Hank
