John,

You're questions (the early set and current) are relevant and deserved of answer. I swear, I'm not ignoring you, I've just been busy with other things of late. I'll address these good questions soon.

David,
I certain don't think that you are ignoring me. You have proven time and again to be a man of your word and you will provide and answer and I am very happy to wait
I just added that question as it sprang to mind.
Please do not feel hassled mate. You take as much time as you need.
Your the hardest work man in this whole dam Navy!

John! John! What AM I to do with you? Don't tell him stuff like this. Tell him to get his behind off the sofa and hurry up!!!Crack That WHipCrack That WHipCrack That WHipCrack That WHip

LOL. Thanks for that (now ducking for cover, Mr. Caswell will shortly be on the phone with another reaming). Today I'm scrambling to finish the written instructions for the kit version of our 3.5 mod 2 SubDriver. It never ends ...

BlahBlahBlahit's been to dam quite here i guess everyone is all talked out. I will figure out something interesting to mention

We were patiently waiting for pictures of the New Torpedos you Made! :D
Have you let us Down Again?! :D

I've allocated an hour a day to continue the 1/72 torpedo launcher 'final version' Should have something to report in a week or so. Film at 11.

David,

Oh!Yea? So now you have 25 hours in a day? :) Get back to work!Crack That WHipCrack That WHip

me me i could not figure out one of those things if my life was betted on it .:D:D oh thank goodness we have David , to come to the resque.:)

Take you time David im sure it will turn out great ! Oops did i say that oh boy im in trouble know.

Get to work slave

Don't Mind their Rude, Crude ways folks. :rolleyes:
They Really care. :)

Oh I have seen the working system before. It is insane. Took me a few minutes of tinkering to even remotely reverse engineer the thing. GIve that man some time this is not some simple thing. Especially since he will have to mas produce the item quickly and make it easy for the non mechanically inclined buyer to understand.

yep thats why David needs to take his time to get it right for those people that do not understand mechanically inclined engineering :D

The new torpedo tube design is made possible by a very, very small solenoid-valve combination just identified by Mr. Caswell, who got samples to me a week ago. The solenoid is used to actuate the torpedo tube, releasing the weapon. The new torpedo tube design eliminates the external firing valve mechanism and manifold -- torpedo tube actuation energy comes from tapping a small portion of the Propellant charge within the weapon at the instant of launch. Deriving launcher actuation gas from that source eliminates the need for a separate torpedo tube gas service; launcher complexity and foot-print have been dramatically reduced. And simplicity breeds reliability.

The proposed design change has greatly reduced the size and complexity of the launcher system; the foot-print of the torpedo tube hardware has been cut in half over the previous system.

Mock-up this week. Initial proof-of-concept hardware in a few weeks. Details to be presented once we have a patent pending confirmation -- Mr. Caswell and I feel that enough proprietary engineering will be evidenced by the mechanism to warrant that.

Stay tuned.
