New Project - What am I?

[redboat219]

How about going with SNORT or RCABS?

[HardRock]

Maybe. I'm experimenting with a few different systems right now. Just ordered some new batteries - the old ones aren't up to it.

This is the test ballast tank. There isn't enough room to use the leaver action vent valve so I've made a rotary version. As the servo rotates the shaft counter-clockwise, the cam opens the valve on the top of the tank; when it rotates colkwise it depresses the valve stem on the gas valve. The shaft runs through a waterproof seal and a bearing and there is a small detent in the rear tank wall that engages the shaft end to prevent the shaft deflecting. And it all works! Now I just have to stuff it into the submarine.

Wow! 2 thumbs up.

How many blows are you getting out of that tiny gas cylinder?

That is easily convertible to snort set up.

Wonder what ever came of this beauty?

[HardRock]

Its tooteling around my dam. I'll do some video (eventually) - its bloody cold here at the moment.

ID this? Looks like a 55 Studebaker to me.

Hi HardRock. What ever happened to this little beauty?

[HardRock]

Its sitting in its travel box in my garage. Had a few health issues last year and had to sell the farm so all of my stuff is in the garage of my new home under mountains of important "stuff" that I can't climb over.

[redboat219]

Maybe someday you'll get a chance to run her again.

I am sorry health issue have changed your life significantly. I miss your builds and postings.

[Peter W]

Sorry to hear that Scott. I hope you're on the up mate.

Thanks men. I'm the recipient of benefits of modern chemistry. The form of blood cancer that I have would have killed me in short order only a few years ago. Now I just take six pills each day and I'm fine. Amazing.
