Method for the manufacture of underwater flotation spheres

摘要

A method for the manufacture of underwater flotation spheres using a personal computer and spreadsheet linked to a numerical control machine is provided. Base data is entered into the spreadsheet and may be verified. Formulae for the design equations are entered and computed for each sphere with data in the spreadsheet. The results of the calculations are readily available and may be displayed in a graphical manner. Sphere design geometry is transmitted to the controller of a numerical controlled (NC) machine. The NC machine produces finished spheres.
