[PSUBS-MAILIST] Project Pilot Fish

Sat Aug 6 15:38:24 EDT 2016

Has Pilotfish Activcoal filter? Katalyst for H2 burning?
CO2 scrubber works normal on a little higher CO2 niveau than normal.
Some O2 mask for half our all 6 hours use or so could make it a better 
stay.

Two person in such a tiny space for so long..

Carsten , Antoine,

The batteries are not charged inside the sub. If the CO sensor is so 
sensitive on H2, this might be the problem.

Sensor electronics failure due to the high humidity is also a possibility.

I never measure as my mission duration is much shorter.

Antoine - if my CO Monitor on the Euronaut  shows me 300 ppm CO this means 
probably it is 60 ppm H2.
The sensor count both and shows H2 fifes time higher than it is. Will see 
what the blood test shows.

Do you charge batteries inside the sub during the Travel?

Hello everyone, 

we had to abort our trip not far after the beginning, as we detected quite 
a lot of carbon monoxide build up in the cabin, and could not find what it 
was and how to manage it. it basically reached 300ppm after 10 hours which 
is huge. We had brought some catalytic filter to human CO production twenty 
times lower than that. So the catalyst filter was not really able to get 
the rate down. It is not oxygen pollution. 

The sensor may be off but we just did a blood test confirming level a bit 
above the normal levels. 

that leaves maybe some chemicals like some glue we took in the tool box for 
repairs... 

 It would have been too dangerous to be at sea with such creeping CO level. 

We probably now cannot make it for this tide window. We ll decide tonight 
what we do

regards

Antoine

Hi Emile,

Do you know when the surface boat will be here in Guernsey?  I would like 
to go and meet them maybe.

Hi Alan,

I also wanted t notify the group about the start. The Fb page of the 
project
is the quickest link for info with sometimes near live video.
A friend who supplied the comsets will be on the surface vessel from
Guernsey to st. Malo
The air quality  or bad luck can cause failure; not the sub  or the crew!

Regards, Emile

I have just seen on Facebook that Project Pilot Fish, where the guys are
peddling their submarine across the English Channel, has started. I saw a
video of them being towed out to sea. Emile did a lot of the build.
Hope they make it, but have my doubts as it is quite a feat.
If anyone (Emile) can update the group on the progress, it would be
appreciated.
Antoine has done an amazing job bringing this all together & getting
sponsorship.
Alan
