Another quick introduction, I too have been watching the
PSUBS website for a few years dreaming of the day I might be able to build my
own submarine. I'm interested in anything aquatic or mechanical and especially
anything that combines the two. I spent eleven years as a machinist working
on projects from urinal valves to the international space station and am
currently employed as an engineer working on museum and autoshow exhibits. If
any of you are in the Detroit area and need help with your submarine I'd love to
help and learn something new. I'm pretty experienced with metal and have a small
machine shop in my garage.
In the future I'd like to build a small submarine that can
get me down to about 150' (45Mm) so I can explore local lakes in relative warmth
and dryness. Something similar to the tourist subs you see except small enough
to be trailered around. I may start off with a glorified glass bottom boat
however as that sounds like a slightly less ambitious
project.
Let me know if I can help
Thanks

the Mailing List. I've been reading the Psubs.org web site and it seems to have
a load of interesting tidbits of information, so I thought I'd join the mailing
list.
I'm more into the robotics side of design, focusing
more on ROVs. ALthough I'm definatley a beginner when it comes to underwater
design. (Figuring out how to seal a shaft that would keep water out was an...
interesting experience) I'm hoping to design a 500m rated ROV at some point as
my ultimate goal, however I'm working on a 100m starter ROV which is basicly a
camera with thrusters at the moment.
Hope to be able to contribute where I
can.
