Propulsion
Early brainstorming sessions led to basic foundation of current propulsion design
Pilot in prone position, resting on two symmetrical 1 ¼” aluminum shafts braised to a t-bar underneath
The two shafts contain eight ft long aluminum pushrods that slide within
Pedalblock attached to t-bar, attached to pushrods by cable
Control
Dive planes Inspired by nature NACA airfoil 0012 cut into blueboard with polystyrene
wedged between and covered with fiberglass 3/8 in threaded steel rod bent to 90 degrees and embedded
in plane with epoxy resin Rods enter the hull 1/3 from nose and below the midline Rods attach to ½ in aluminum electrical conduit bent to 22
degrees to form a handlebar
Stabilizers Design 4 stabilizers fixed to the hull at the
rear of the vessel, spaced at 90 degrees
Life Support
VO2 max testing at University of Maryland for both pilots
Testing suggested 40 cubic ft tank sufficient to meet ISR regulations for each run
Submarine includes: 63 cubic ft tank with octopus attachment 13 cubic ft pony bottle with single regulator
attachment
