Ein voll funktionsfähiger Halbtaucher in 1:150!
Neben den „normalen“ Funktionen Fahren, Steuer, Bugstrahlruder kann der Halbtaucher Mighty Servant 3 über 6 einzel regulierbare Tanks (Steuer- und Backbord, je Bug, Mitte und Achtern) abgetaucht werden. Die Tanks sind unten offen, durch das ablassen der Luft können sie mit Wasser gefüllt werdem. Mittels Druckluftpumpe kann das Wasser wieder herausgepresst werden. Die Steuerung des Tauchvorgangs erfolgt über einen Arduino. Am Bug und Achtern sind Drucksensoren zur Messung der Tiefe vorhanden, über einen Beschleunigungssensor wird die Krängung gemessen und automatisch ausgeglichen.
Der Bau erfolgte von März 21 bis Oktober 21. Die Jungfernfahrt fand am 09.10.21 auf dem herbstlichen Schützenweiher statt.
Hi Daniel
My son ( 8 years) loves building ships of all sorts and the Mighty Servant 3 is next on the list. He is not planning on building a ballast system or propulsion, just the model. The bit that he is missing though is the lines plan. I come from the offshore industry and i have done some work with the MS3, the LP or hydrostatics was always something which was hard to come by. In your pictures it looks like you do have some and you haven’t had to recreate it from photos. Is it possible to send my son a copy? Many thanks
Hi,
Every now and then, I give a look to the web, just checking if there is anything particular new concerning the Mighty Servant 3…
I’ve just discovered your model (one year later) and I think you can be proud of your building.
I have already made may own model, scaled 1:100 which have been finished more than 10 years ago.
I think that smaller is a model is, harder it will be to build it, particularly when the technique installed in board is complex… So, it have been harder for you rather that for me ..!
I am glad to see that you’ve overcome the difficulties one can get with such model…
It seems that there semi sub models working well models are only a few … !
Just for fun, looking the pictures you’ve shown, the only ones I do not prefer are the ones at „full speed“ because it give a „Toy Impression“, I do prefer a realistic speed 🙂
But, do not care, it is better to have a powerfull model instead of a lack of power … 🙂
Sincerely Yours …
