Subs in Schools Week 3 has seen the continuation of Babcock International collaboration visits for our Sub students. Currently, Shelli and her team are completing hull manufacture, the fitting of infrastructure that will enable housing of servomotors and propeller shafts and motors, the fitting of the fin, and the fine engineering task of pressure hull manufacture. Sukbir is in charge of the hull design and manufacture. Michael is the electrical engineer (101), however it remains to be seen as to whether this boat will ever surface! Pictured is the finely engineered fit between the end cap and the pressure hull, which of course must be watertight. The ‘O’ Rings are not yet fitted. Stephen Read Coordinator STEAM
