Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The report covers the conceptual development of a Manned Underwater Station, capable of operating in depths down to 6000 feet, providing adequate life support facilities for 5 men for periods of up to 30 days. The placement of the station uses the concept of free descent without the use of power by using negative buoyancy as the motivating force. Bottom approach is accomplished by winching against an anchor weight which initially provided a portion of the negative buoyancy. The station itself is designed to be positively buoyant at all times. Ascent is accomplished by release of anchor weight and using the positive buoyancy of the station to freely ascend. The report further studies power plants suitable for the station load of 22 KWe and recommends three types of sources, one surface oriented, the remaining in situ that could be applied to the station. The report also outlines potential missions that could be applied to the station. (Author).

This book was released on 1967 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The results of a fifteen man-month conceptual design study for a Manned Underwater Station are presented, conforming to the requirement of a 30-day mission for 5 men at 6000 feet. The station is self-supporting when emplaced by using an isotope heat source with turbo-electric power generation, and a life support system to provide comfortable one-atmosphere environment. The pressure hull is toroidal in shape, forty feet in overall diameter with a 10-foot tube diameter. HY-140 steel is recommended for construction of the internally ring-stiffened hull. The concept provides a stable platform with maximum viewing of the bottom in the limited visibility in the deep ocean. For bottom locations with sufficient bearing strength, the hemispherical foundation and toroidal hull act as a ball-and socket joint with unique leveling capability. Where extremely low bearing strength materials are encountered, modifications are made to distribute the load on the bottom. Additional toroidal modules, mating in a vertical stack, permit expanding the station for larger operational missions. Emergency power and life support provisions are included for a 5-day period beyond the 30-day mission requirement. However, with the recommended power system and the electro-mechanical life support equipment there is no reason why the mission time cannot be extended to 90 days when personnel interchange is undertaken. Crews may be exchanged by using small submersibles which have a mating capability with bottomed submarines. (Author).

Book excerpt: Large undersea installations with a shirt-sleeve environment have existed under the continental shelves for many decades. The technology now exists, using off-the-shelf petroleum, mining, submarine, and nuclear equipment, to establish permanent manned installations within the sea floor that do not have any air umbilical or other connection with the land or water surface, yet maintain a normal one-atmosphere environment within. This presentation briefly reviews the past and present in-the-sea-floor mineral industry. The methods presently practical for direct access to and from permanent in-the-sea-floor installations are outlined, and the specific operations and types of tools indicated. Initial power requirements and cost estimates are included. (Author).
