Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Oil Compensated Thursters



Doug,
            Do you think something like this would work?   These are not DC however.

Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Oil Compensated Thursters

Can anyone support this statement: "Scripps has tried to fill the DC motors with oil, but the oil gets between the brushes and the commutator, where the insulation properties of the oil causes problems. Although it would be possible to use high voltage to break through the oil film, the high voltage is a safety hazard for the divers."
 
I was thinking about 24 or 36 volt oil compensated brushed trolling motors, but after reading the above I looked and could not find any examples of oil compensated brushed motors under 100 volts.
 
What are your experiences and thoughts?
 
Thanks
