[PSUBS-MAILIST] water cooled diesel

Thu Aug 11 13:22:46 EDT 2016

Alec,I agree those engines are very noisy, I am shooting for something like my 10hp Kubota.  That  engine is a dream, and very quiet.  I also plan to put the engine inside the escape pod, so it might help with noise.  I just want to get the long range an engine offers without  the hassles of a boat.  good point though!
I was also thinking about a propane powered 5 hp outboard.  They run on those little screw on bottles.  I could make a motor mount at the back of Gamma and steer with Gamma's original steering stuff.  When it is dive time, I remove the propane bottle and store the motor in the escape pod.  The propane bottles can stay with the marker buoy.  Just an idea.Hank

 Hi Hank,
Years ago I actually bought a tiny Chinese diesel just because it was so cheap and I wanted to study it for use in a sub. My conclusion was I wouldn't want to be in a metal can with such a thing no matter what, so I resold it on eBay. It was noisy and smelly in the extreme, I don't recommend it. But it was small, water-cooled, and cheap.

Brian,Thank you, that would work perfect  but at 10K it is more than my cheap gene would allow.  ;-) Hank

Hi All,I am looking for a one cylinder water cooled diesel engine that will fit comfortably through a 18 inch dia opening.  This seems a challenge--I can get air cooled engines all day long but can't find water cooled.  My only option is to then water cool an air cooled engine.  Has anyone here tried that or have ideas.  I was thinking to run copper tubing around the cylinder and head between the fins and also have a copper loop in the oil reservoir with water running through.  If the cylinder with fins was round I would simply machine the block and make a water jacket but no luck there.Any ideas?Hank______________________________ _________________Personal_Submersibles mailing listPersonal_Submersibles at psubs. orghttp://www.psubs.org/mailman/ listinfo.cgi/personal_ submersibles
