Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] submerged motors



Hi,

Oil and air compensation is used to keep the pressure differential between the ambient water pressure at any depth and the internal motor case pressure to managable limits. Limits of what? The motor housing is typically steel. The real limit is the motor shaft seal. A seal around the motor shaft is what really keeps water out.

For instance Minn Kota motors are good to an atmosphere or so. Any deeper you have to compensate the motor housing in some manner or the pressure differential will force water to seep in through the seal.

Take a look at Busby's book for a general discussion on compensation.

Regards,
Ray

Hi Simon,

You can either use mineral and/or electric oil inside the motor or use a scuba regulator to have ambient pressure inside you motor.

hope it help.

Hi all,

I'm currently in the process of estimating costs and materials for
building my own personal sub. I have, however, become stuck on the
section of propulsion.

How is it possible to have moving external parts, submerged, without
them being flooded with water and ruined?

If anyone is aware of a website which gives some insight, or has any
helpful tips, any input would be much appreciated.

-Simon
