I'd love to hear whether the Pelican cases collapse or leak at a depth of 30 feet.
Because if not, they could be used as vacuum chambers.

Conversely, you could simulate the crushing effect of that water depth
by evacuating your cases.

the pelican cases actually have a pressure valve that is essentially a diaphragm which flexes to balance the pressure between the inside and out. I would have to disable that valve to test that type of structural integrity, but that is not something I care about for now - I will want to go very deep in the future, but for now I'm fine at shallow depths.

My project was due yesterday (May 3), and I got most of it working save that a valve on the BCD blew while doing a full scale test : - /
But, my sponsor was very impressed overall and thought I did a very good job with my design and revising things as they progressed. I still am awaiting the official grade pending the review of my Official work log, found Here on my Website

-Jimmy

P.S: this project will continue for a long time as I upgrade it, rebuild finicky sections, and put it to use!
