Name of sub:    Bionic Dolphin
Type:           Dry, 1atm
Web pointer:    Bionic Dolphin
                Bionic Dolphin
Address:        
Phone:          
Comments:	A high performance, one man submersible of streamlined
		fiberglass construction. Looks much like a dolphin.

		Here is some Bionic Dolphin (VASH) information.
                - about 12' long
                - 600 lbs (very positively buoyant)
                - carbon/kevlar/spectra outer shell
                - fiberglass inner shell around pilot
                - closed cell hard foam filler (sprayed in)
                - kevlar/foam composite bulkheads
                - partial F-16 canopy
                - 100 HP two-stroke V4
                - cut-off tail flat, which created a vortex while
                  moving submerged to helped to draw out the exhaust
                - builder has had it down to 30 feet
                - could stay down for only 15 seconds because the engine
                  had only a small on board air supply
                - did not have any type of scrubber, cockpit air replenished
                  through "blow hole" snorkel.
                - hydroplaned on surface at 55 mph, submerged up to 25 mph.

                The project was a success from a mechanical standpoint,
                but they were not able to market it. The Coast Guard requires
                certification of any dry one-atmosphere submersible being
                sold to the public, and they will not certify anything yet
                that has a fiberglass inner hull. It has to be steel,
                aluminum, titanium, etc.

                It was designed by Thomas Rowe, and the prototype was built
                by Dennis Kaiser & Thomas Rowe.

I am offering for sale the following modified Motor Guide Trolling motors:

Currency is in U.S. dollars
Shipping and Taxes are not included.

All of the motors are from the Great White series thus offering better
corrosion resistance.
All motors are rated to a depth of at least 300 feet.
All motors are offered with a 2 year limited warranty.
All of the motors are offered with a multi-conductor
  water tight cable x 3 feet long.
  Additional cable length can be purchased at $2.00 / foot

All motors are offered with a two, three, or four bladed nylon composite
prop.
A three bladed aluminum prop may be purchased as an option for
an additional $30.00 (only good for 80# and 107# motors)
Different props result in slightly different thrust characteristics.

An additional aluminum prop guard can be purchased for a cost of $220.00

The motors are listed in the following format;
"Motor Size in Pounds of Thrust / Volts / Amp Usage per Hour / Cost"

 43 # / 12 VDC / 0-48 Amps / $555.40
 52 # / 12 VDC / 0-48 Amps / $559.70
 67 # / 24 VDC / 0-33 Amps / $695.20
 80 # / 24 VDC / 0-33 Amps / $820.40 (not a typo on this price)	
107 # / 36 VDC / 0-48 Amps / $709.00

I can additionally supply a card that can be wired to the control circuit
allowing the variable speed/reversing operation of the motors for $126.00  In the near future I will be incorporating the card and controls into a NEMA 4X control enclosure.

Delivery is currently 2 to 4 weeks.

I need to also note that all pricing and delivery is subject to change
without prior notice, (hate to have this email come back to me 5 years from
now.)

Please feel free to email or call me; rjune@fuse.net or 513-300-1189 with any additional questions.


Sincerely,
Roger June
