The G8800 Flotation Module incorporates four 12" borosilicate glass spheres in a through-center, axis-symmetric, hard hat housing with convenient, integrated handles. The through-center configuration maintains a fixed, torque-free, buoyancy distribution along the wire as the mooring responds to forcing by ambient currents. Each G8800 module produces approximately 88 lbs. (40 Kg) of positive buoyancy. G8800 modules can be assembled in single, double or triple units secured together by through-center mounting hardware (S8800, S8800-2, S8800-3). Four locking pins give the assembled units necessary rigidity and prevent twisting of modules within a unit. These large flotation packages are thus safely and easily handled during launch and recovery operations.
