Alan,

Any luck with marine bow thrusters?  They are around 1500 watts, 12 volts, and come in a sealed, but not pressurized, housing.

Ken,

haven't heard from you for a while.

I am trying to track down a suitable DC brushless motor around 1500W for a thruster.

Preferably I don't want to gear it down, so I need an output speed of less than 3000rpm.

The only brushless motors I can find with low rpm  are the RC outrunner motors that

you might find at Hobby King. I am looking at playing round with a larger motor &

running it at 1/2 it's maximum voltage. They seem so small compared to their brushed

counterpart that I don't think I will be disadvantaged size wise by doing this.

Most of these motors seem to be low voltage, high amps, & I would prefer something operating

on around 48V. 

Any words of wisdom or product recommendation here thanks.

Alan

Water is compressible, look how the submarine "Ben Franklin" did it. Water
is just not very compressible.

Compressing water will be quite some trick.
