[PSUBS-MAILIST] jet thrust

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Alec,That is great news, I was thinking to use two 1 hp pumps.  I saw a video on youtube when the saucer sub came to the surface and shot water star up into the air.  The spray was not that impressive really.  From what I can see, the nozzles are choked down to about 3\4 of an inch maybe 1 inch.Hank

 Hi Hank,
It was a 2HP motor. My source is the book Saucer in the Sea by Terry Shannon, which has some photos you would probably find useful of the saucer with fairings removed.

Best,

Alec
