[PSUBS-MAILIST] jet thrust

[hank pronk via Personal_Submersibles]

I would expect it was under powered, but there are some nice features to the system.  There is no chance of entanglement in a stray line like with a propeller.  The lake I plan to spend a lot of time in has a lot of stray lines.  Maybe the system can be expanded to four jets with four pumps.Hank

I saw a video on youtube when the saucer sub came to the surface and shot water star up into the air.  The spray was not that impressive really.  From what I can see, the nozzles are choked down to about 3\4 of an inch maybe 1 inch.Hank

Hi Hank, It was a 2HP motor. My source is the book Saucer in the Sea by Terry Shannon, which has some photos you would probably find useful of the saucer with fairings removed.  Best,

Alec
