I saw these units used on 2 of the human
powered subs at the International Submarine Races this year. 1 sub has 2 sets,
one on the top and one on the bottom. The other just used one on the bottom. 2
seemed to provide more power than 1. Not sure how strenuous they were to work
but I was impressed. They seemed fairly efficient for these wet subs. Steve McQueen From: owner- For peddle sub propulsion options I've been looking at
the Hobie Mirage drives, that are taking off with kayakers. If you have a
chance take a look at the video clips they have on there site. I have a couple
of configuration options in mind to be able to use this drive in a 1 ATM. But a
buddy of mine thought at first they would need to be used in a wet or ambient
sub, and that made me see that they could even more easily be used in those
subs. I'm aware that the wet sub races have all sorts of odd propulsion means,
but since this one is in high production it might be a more economical and
efficient option currently. Brent
