[PSUBS-MAILIST] Fw: Gamma video

[T Novak via Personal_Submersibles]

Hi Hank,

As long as your side thrusters can be synched to matching thrust forces you will do well.  Good idea with the vectored thrusters as get home motors since incorporating a rudder to clear your escape pod sounds complicated.  I liked your original rudder though, it sure beats hanging an oar off the side.  I want to eventually put a rudder on my sub since it has only two non-vectored thrusters.  And that irritates me.  As well, I like the idea of a bit of rudder trim since the thrusters only have one speed and they may not be perfectly matched.

Hi Tim,

I am hoping the sub will steer with just the two thrusters, if that doesn't work well, then I can add two more thrusters that are vectored.  I want to stay away from a rudder, just to keep it simple.  Also if I add vectored thrusters, I will have get home motors if a main thruster dies.

Very cool, Hank.

It looks like differential thrust for steering. Do you plan on adding a rudder or rear thruster?

Here is a video of Gamma outside for the first time with the escape pod done and installed.
