MickYes, I was lucky to know Bernard Hipp as a friend, neighbour, and mentor.I think he was charmed at me building away at a concrete boat, much to the brunt of jokes from naysayers.The degausser seems to be an electro ac magnet which when set on the deck growls away with attraction. It is not large, about an 8" cube that works much the same as a tape head demagnitizer.Left on deck for a few hours, it worked like a charm, eliminating the compass deviation entirely since 1981. He gave it to me, in case of reoccurance.The hydrogen sub was built and almost ready to launch when one night a flight of allied bombers dumped their undropped bombs for the flight home on top of it. From what I gathered, it made hydrogen fuel from seawater, and supplied oxygen to the crew. It was the prototype of a similar type now offered for sale by Germany, capable of extended submersion cruises.Cheers Warren

Warren,
That's far out, you were blessed to meet such an interesting character. With a name like that I was cued for a Mr Natural story.
Do you know who makes good lead acid now? The only recommendation I get is the Trojan golf cart ones. SO the steel connects the plates, is that hot or cold rolled?
What is a Nitrogen powered sub, how does that work?
How does the degausser work, this really peaks my interest! What size was it and did just placing it midships would degauss the whole vessel?

Yup! Real deep cycle batteries are at least 1/8" thick plates, some even 3/16", though most called deep cycle are just paper thin. You can cast your own from melted down car batteries on a steel plate mold, with steel bar stock edges. I haven't done it myself, but my friend Mr Hipp did. ( Mr Hipp designed the radio control V2 buzz bombs, the nitrogen powered submarine, and the 3 engined Messersmit before being brought to Canada to work on the Avro Arrow. He was layed off when Eisenhower talked our prime minister into buying Non functional Bomark missiles instead of the fastest jet in the World, at that time. Mr Hipp didn't go to the States to work on the Appolo project like most of his co-workers He then built a machine shop across the street from where I later started my special effect business. We became friends, and he, my engineering machine shop mentor. His most famous line being" when I vas a boy in Germany, there vas no crime, you could leave your bicycle anywhere.")
I never once knew him to tell a lie. He gave me a degausser able to demagnitize my entire 33 ton ship,which was made from cobalt alloy steel, when I discovered the compass wouldn't work Yes, and taught me how to make lead acid batteries, just like the German U boats. Cheers Warren

Warren,
Have you ever pulled lead acid batteries apart and compared them? Curious if there is more to the deep cycle than the larger plates and more robust connections between plates.

I found this interesting, and thought you might too. It is also interesting where it is emerging from. Cheers Warren
