Tim,I was thinking the same thing, the cowl would be like a cone that you see on dogs around their neck :-)  it would fit against both hulls, trapped in place so to speak.  There is no jettisoning  of the pod by the pilot.  When the internal pressure of the sub reaches ambient, the pod simply floats away.  I could spring load the pod to give it a bit of a kick away from the sub.  It is pretty much a one man pod, so no passengers past 100 feet.  I was thinking about putting three 12v gam batteries in the pod as range extenders.  I need 319 pounds to balance the pod to neutral.  I will build a pool in the shop to get it balanced just right with me in it.Hank

Perhaps you could mould the fairing around and attached to the pod, but also fitting snug against the main hull.  Upon release the pod along with the fairing detaches from the hull,  and the fairing is then jettisoned from the pod by the pilot using the same method that the pod was jettisoned from the main hull.Thoughts?Tim  From: Personal_Submersibles [mailto:personal_submersibles-bounces at psubs.org] On Behalf Of hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles

Make up a stretcher across the pod entrance so they can lie across it & look down. Or put a small person in itwith a side view port. If you had an appropriately placed view port you could see out when you escape& hit the surface. Also you could signal out it with a torch.Alan  From: hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles <personal_submersibles at psubs.org>

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw:  Here is Gamma with the pod in place, the big ring is fitted and ready to weld in.  The ballast tanks can be lengthened giving  me more free board for shallower launches.  I can lengthen them and put the vertical thrusters between them still.  The Perry thrusters will be mounted under the front ballast tanks on jettisoning mounts.  I need to figure out how to make a cowl to go from the hull to the pod that will to interfere with the pod releasing from the sub.Hank  On Saturday, September 26, 2015 11:44 AM, xxx xxxxx <mp13 at live.ca> wrote:
