[PSUBS-MAILIST] Alec's new valves

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,
yes just making fun of you! It's an old English saying! 
Thanks Alec, I see I have already "liked" them. Nice piece of work.
You guys got me inspired & I ordered a couple of solenoids to modify Vance's
mushroom valve design & make it electric. I will have to waterproof the solenoids,
which will involve machining the plunger so I can coat it & it's iron tube
receptacle with resin.
The force varies depending on how far out the plunger is & on one I
ordered it varied between 1 & 10kg; unfortunately I'll get a reduction in force
after coating everything with resin. I am not sure how much spring force I should 
need to close it yet.
Alan
