[PSUBS-MAILIST] rotating hull

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

What about all the through hulls, pneumatic, hydraulic hoses, electrical wiring dropweights etc. Also the building of the rotating mechanism. And what if you got stuck in the dive orientation?Alan

Okay new idea,In an effort to keep things cost effective, building a 48 inch sphere with 3.25 inch thick wall.  It would be much easier to have the hatch and conical port as one item.  To overcome the problem of orientation of the hatch pointing up, the sphere could rotate.  I don't see any big problems with this and it would save a lot of work and money.  Also the sphere could rotate more than 90 degrees  as well.  Hank
