After several hours on AutoCad and several more 3D modelling, a few quid spent at Shapeways mh parts for my thruster have arrived. It is purely proof of concept at the moment and am not going to get into rights and wrongs etc etc, i would lkke just to share my idea with the Mayhem collective. If it works, great, i shall sell it and make my fortune and retire to the sunny Canary islands if it fails, so what, i had a go.
Right, it has a little 2212 1000kv brushless outrunner motor at the heart of it, took original shaft out and fitted a longer one to accept 2 props.
The motor is mounted in a split case, sealed and then fittdd into the pump case, in theory the area of the inlet is the same as the body so there should be no loss or increase in pressure/flow.
30mm inlet, 2 29mm dia thruster props from Raboesch, length as it is 120mm, a bit long but as its proof of concept we need not worry too much about this at the moment.
Have got a bit of work to do first getting the motor to fit in casing, nothing major and can be tweaked in AutoCad for next version!!!!
So i shall start in earnest and post next stage when props come from Germany.
Any thoughts or ideas please feel free to indulge me.
Regards
Stewart
