[PSUBS-MAILIST] well pump motor

[Marc de Piolenc via Personal_Submersibles]

What a fascinating idea. With the right nozzle design, it might even be 
possible to use the original pump rotor.

Two concerns: saltwater corrosion (they're presumably built for service 
in fresh water) and power supply. I know inverters are getting cheaper, 
but I don't know how sensitive these motors are to waveform.
