I have now make a new Thrusters,Prototype 2.I have use brushless motor,Leopard LBP4074/4B 1400kv with gear.

This Prototype 2 is much better,its powerful in the water.I have test it,and working good.


Thrusters weight is 1500 gram (one)

Size of the Thrusters,diameter 48MM,propellers is 100MM,length is 265MM

Size of magnet: 10MM X 10MM (Neodymium) Magnetic couplings have diameter: 39MM X 12MM, six hole.

I will now make a Vertical Thrusters, I only need one.(I will use same as prototype 2,with some modification)

Here is some picture:

Really cool stuff!

I am now finish with the vertical Thrusters.
I will now make a frame,(like seabotix)

Very nice roarroar, you must be very good with the lathe!

Nice work RoarRoar,

Do you mind me asking how you are planning on powering the thrusters ? or what system you have in mind.

Thanks.
