[PSUBS-MAILIST] Vertical Thruster

Not really efficient but possible.

The good point that the thrusters is far from the bottom.

Hey guys,

 

When talking about motors, I have som thoughts about making a smaller
modification to my sub.

I´m thinking of putting a vertical thruster, hidden behind the tower of
Malen.  Malen does´t have a vertical thruster and it would make  manoeuvring
a lot easier. I hope it can be done without messing up the look of the sub,
which is important. 

 

My idea is to suck water just behind the hatch, and let the water leave
downwards and exhaust from the both sides of the tower. The actual jet can
not go straight down due to the design of the tower, is that a superproblem?
Another important question is, what thruster is good for the job? I have
been thinking of maybe using one or two minnkotas. Any thoughts and ideas
are much appreciated.

Take a look at the attached sketch, I hope it´s understandable.

 

 

Cheers,

Lasse Schmidt
