Just one thing sucks, and that its all in german. I have to use Google chrome to translate all the pages and the translator isnt that good ;) Stil...

Re: Magnetic coupling Thruster design (Some big challenges!)

We built our thruster with brushless motors running with no housing (principle these motors are "magnetic couplers") and made very good experiences with them. 65m depth in mediterranean sea and no problems with the electric in the saltwater. The only thing: It is very important to clean t...

Re: Hi from Norway!

Take a quick look at my magnetic coupling thruster post and you will see what i have in mind.

I try to share some of my experiences and hope that some of you might help out as well. If any of you have some interest in work...
