[PSUBS-MAILIST] K-350 plans/ trusters

[emile via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi James,

 

Abandon the rotatable thrusters make a nice control pult wit joysticks possible. But the K350 arrangement has also advantages.

-You need at least 1  more thruster.

- If one of your 3 thrusters fail is your sub still controllable. 

 

Arrangement of the Drebbel is the same.

 

Br, Emile

Hi Philippe.  

 

I made a K350.  Main things I would change from the standard plans would be:

 

Forward Dome

Enclosed saddle tanks mounted high on pressure hull instead of for\aft tanks.

Hatch mechanism changed to allow opening from outside.

Hatch brackets strengthened.

HP air mounted external.

Variable tank on sliding mounting.

Possibly change rotating thrusters to multiple static as these are a real pain.

 

 

Regards

James

Emile, 

 

I actually already started a list on what I want to improve on the K350!

 

I was actually thinking about having a 1 meter hull dia

Improve depth rating to around 300 meters

Look into improving the ballast tanks

Have the thrusters be controlled by a joystick

Ludwig,

 

The K350 is a nice sub and the plans might be a good start .

Mind some points are a bit outdated.

 

If I build a K350:

-1 meter hull dia  (was 900mm)

-improved ballast tanks 

-dome window in the bow

Hey guys, 

 

Who should I contact regarding the purchasing of the K-350 plans?

 

I bought the plans at the end of December and still haven't received them.  I also sent an email off to sales at psubs.org around two weeks ago and haven't gotten a reply.

 

Thanks,

Ludwig
