[PSUBS-MAILIST] T-Rex Thrusters & Cooling

[Jon Wallace]

My foremost advice would be not to use the "spin-on" design that George came up with for the propeller end of the can.  I had a hell of a time getting them off after extended non-use, lots of penetrating oil and a three foot crowbar.  I think a better design is the one that LakeDiver uses which pulls the two halves together via three equidistant bolts.  See http://www.psubs.org/convention/2003/pics.cgi?pics/k350-2/PDR_0073.JPG

 Jon, I
 was intigued by the condition of the motors on the K-600
 after thier long entombment. 
  So as
 a result, I'm currently studying his design as well
 as off-the-shelf examples while looking at ways to
 incorporate homebuilding with more modern materials and
 components. Joe
