  Down, down and away ... Newtsuit to the rescue - Underwater Contractor Magazine   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The Newtsuit may look like a tottering butterball, writes Isabelle Croizeau, but it is at the leading edge of underwater technology and the French Navy has been assessing how it can help submarines in distress.
And when the Newtsuit resurfaces, the pilot will not have to go through the interminable decompression stages that usually turn a deep-sea dive into a longer business than a trip to the moon.
The Newtsuit is fully articulated using a system of 20 moving joints immersed in an oil bath.

The newtsuit then entered the scene from the bow using the light of the submersible to survey the bridge.
Even the enlarged man-figure of the newtsuit was dwarfed by the size of the mighty prop that had propelled the 729-foot ship.
The newtsuit and SDL traveled the length of the inverted hull of the stern to survey the damage.

A series of dives using the NEWTSUIT diving system, designed and constructed by Phil Nuytten of Vancouver, BC prepared for the delicate procedure of recovering the bell.
NEWTSUIT Diver Bruce Fuoco worked late into the evening of July 3 at a depth of 535 feet.
A special underwater cutting torch was used to separate the bell from the roof of the pilothouse.

NewtSuit is an atmosphere diving system (ADS – this includes all submarines and submersibles which have an internal environment at the same pressure as found at sea level - 1 atmosphere) in which the pilot can work safely and comfortably in deep water (maximum depth 305 m).
NewtSuits have been used for work on ocean drill rigs, pipeline inspection, salvage work, photographic and video survey and much more.
When the diver needs to return to the surface they must come up very slowly (over a period of days, usually in a hyperbaric chamber in which the pressure the divers are subjected to is slowly decreased) to let the dissolved gasses come out of their system.

Developed between 1979 and 1987 by International Hardsuits of North Vancouver, the "Newtsuit" (named for inventor Phil Nuytten) dives to 300 meters with the diver safely inside.
The Newtsuit's $150,000 price tag is beyond the pocketbook of most divers, but commercial diving firms have already purchased some of the bright yellow, cast aluminum suits.
The public is fast gaining an appreciation of the suit; it was the subject of a short Omnimax feature film, and was used in the highly publicized recovery of the bell from the wreck of EDMUND FITZGERALD in the summer of 1995.

 ZoomInfo Web Summary: Phil Nuytten   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The technology behind the NEWTSUIT was changing, and the suits themselves were highly expensive to produce.
In 1987 he was the recipient of the "Canadian Award for Business Excellence" given by the Canadian Government for his Newtsuit development and has received many other awards for his contributions ranging from the "Lowell Thomas Award" from The Explorers Club of New York to the "Order of British Columbia".
The Newtsuit also featured in an IMAX movie titled "Flight of the Aquanaut" which has been shown all over the world.

The Newtsuit was Nuytten's first groundbreaking invention, a diving suit that allowed deep-water work while maintaining a sea-level atmosphere inside the suit, doing away with the need for lengthy - and expensive - decompression.
Nuytten was eventually forced to sell the rights to the Newtsuit to a U.S. company in a hostile takeover, but quickly threw his energy into another deep water invention: a unique take on small manned submersibles.
The other project that grips his interest is a plan for an underwater colony - similar to a space station - built around the Juan de Fuca heat vents, where scientists would study underwater life and a mine would tap into dissolved cobalt.

That technology was first used in Nuytten's breakthrough Newtsuit, which he developed from 1979 to 1986.
However, that invention and his Hard Suits Inc., the company he founded to manufacture and sell the Newtsuit, were acquired in a hostile takeover by an American company in 1996.
It led to the Exosuit, which is about one-seventh the weight of the Newtsuit and, at $100,000, sells for about a fifth of what the Newtsuit sells for.

 Rehearsing for DISSUB - Jane's Naval Forces   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The Newtsuit is a specially designed one-man deep diving suit with a constant internal atmosphere corresponding to the pressure on the surface.
Operated from the Federal German Navy support ship Fehmarn, the Drager Newtsuit allows submarine maintenance and replenishment operations to be undertaken at depths down to 300m.
Allowing the operator to retain 75 per cent of normal dexterity, the Newtsuit obviates the need for decompression and removes the requirement for special breathing gases (such as HeO2).

In deep- water technology, it seems the US is investing more in mini- submarines that are just large enough for one person, while the French have continued trying to develop a diving suit that would permit a person to work at a depth of 300 meters.
The diver is lowered into the water in an open metal cage, attached to the rest of the team and the surface by a safety line furnishing radio contact and electricity.
In this issue's "Technology and Techniques" section, we described the development by France of the new, autonomous Newtsuit diving suit which permits a diver to easily descend to 300 meters, work at that depth, and ascend to the surface.

The number on the plane (JTT0 11470) means absolutely nothing (though similar numbers were used for Mulder's badge number in "F. Emasculata" and for the boxcar entry code in "731").
The suit that Gauthier is wearing is called a "NEWTSUIT", which I'm sure is named for something (and I'm pretty sure it's not Newt Gingrich), but I can't find out what.
Though I'd prefer to call it a Michelin Man suit, it's a diving apparatus that enables trained operators to work in water depths to 1,000 feet while remaining at a single atmosphere or surface pressure environment.

 About Nuytco - Phil Nuytten   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Phil Nuytten has been instrumental in the development and current acceptance of Atmospheric Diving System technology.
In 1979, he began work on a revolutionary new one-atmosphere diving suit that resulted in a patented break-through in rotary joint design, and formed the basis for the world-famous ‘Newtsuit’.
The ‘Newtsuit’ is a thousand foot-rated hard suit that completely protects the wearer from outside pressure and eliminates the need for decompression while still maintaining mobility and dexterity – a “submarine that you wear”.
