Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] hello and this is a test

Welcome Jonathan,

Preventing water to enter the motor chamber is usualy done by raising the pressure in the chamber or filling it up with oil. This has been discussed many times so i suggest you have a look at the many discussions we had. You can find a lot of information in our achives ( http://www.psubs.org/mlist/search.html). Another very usefull source is the Busby book. For info on ROV's you can have a look at this site: http://www.rov.net/

Greatings,

Thijs Struijs

Hi everyone I hope this will send.

I've been kicking around some submersible designs for about six months now. I'm glad I found this site as it seems many private companies only want to help me if I got a half-million dollar budget.

One question I'm curious about. If I was to make a battery propelled sub or maybe just a rov at first, where is a good place to by motors, propellers, enclosures, etc. And how can you prevent water from entering the motor chamber from around the shaft area? (as you can see I have alot of more research to do).

Thanks for your imput. Down later.

Jonathan
