[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Thruster position

[T Novak via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,

 

Why not cant your vertical thrusters 45 degrees out from the vertical?  Sort of like this bow on view:  /O\   where the / and the \ represent the thrusters canted 45 degrees out from the O which represents the pressure hull.  This would allow the down wash to miss the horizontal thrusters while both "vertical" thrusters are heaving the sub upwards.  And it would provide controlled translate (sidle) movement when the two "vertical" thrusters are powered  to thrust one up and one down.  Your ballast block will keep the sub from rolling and force it to translate sideways.  This works very well for the DW2000's.

Alec,

I was hoping the wash would go around the motor, I have no experience with this, but it makes sense. :-(  I will move it back.  My original plan was to have them up front vectored 45 degrees, but they are very heavy, over 40 lbs each and that takes away from the buoyancy for the arm.

If it were me, I'd move it just a little bit aft, just enough to leave the vertical one unrestricted. I don't think you'll have any trouble at all rotating the boat if the thrusters are not exactly in the middle.

 

Best,


Alec

Hi All,

This is a picture of my proposed thruster location, I am not sure if the motor in this location will interfere with the prop wash from the vertical thruster inside the can above the thruster.
What do you guys think?  I want the motor as mid ship as possible for best steering.  This location is also good for cabling to the pen plate
