Building in blocks, and heat dissipation concerns?

Post by GreenAce92 »

I'm interested in developing hydrodynamic designs (partially influenced by thread on this subforum), which are built in bricks.

Hard to explain, here is a quick diagram attached. I was thinking that if you dropped a solid bar of steel in an ocean, I would think that it would sink to the bottom with no problem right? I mean it's a solid bar of steel. So if you put a motor inside a hollowed block, can this resist deep water temperature? The buoyancy part comes from spheres of air, held by metal strips.

I was interested in that shell competition and would be looking at very deep operation.

I've got to read a lot but I would appreciate any input on design.

What about stuffing boxes for the rotating parts of motors?

Regarding heat dissipation, if there was a radiating fin, is that enough to dissipate heat or does there need to be ventilation of some sort?

A cut out for a metal radiation fin would be used to attach the motor.
