- Hey guys in this video I try out the thurster i build in my pool. It goes really fast but is still a little bit sketchy. Stay tuned for the new design I'm working on that will hopefully be better. Thanks for watching!

![Underwater Electric Thruster Test - 24V 1200W motor. Expedition lifeboat conversion Ep107 [4K]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ff-weEnpLTc/mqdefault.jpg)
Very cool.👍👍👍
Awesome!😎👍👍🍻
Awesome
Matt, what motor used?
Very cool Matt, good work, I want to build a pwc that will come when you call it , like kit from night rider ha ha ..
How many pounds of thrust do you suppose that thruster is pushing at full speed?
Thanks! I never really measured it but with the 6s battery maybe around 15 pounds of thrust... but it was definitely overworking the motor.
hey man! can you show or upload a picture or stl of the proppelor itself? i am tring to make one, yours looks to work really good! mine always stalls
What motor type?
This is so cool. I want to build one too. I know this is 2 years old. What thruster do you think would be best in 2020?
Maytech has some very powerful pre built ones for efoils but i have heard mixed reviews
is there a 3d file somewhere this would be perfect for my 10 ft mini tug bow thruster
I do have one but it is not very well made and the motor over heats really fast so I don't think you would want to use it for something permanent.
Can you send me the file you used to 3d print the housing and propeller? I wanna build one of those too .
I'm thinking of using a 2200W, 2050KV brushless motor with a 120A ESC for a similar project, do you think it would be suitable ? Or is the KV rating too high
Kv rating way to high. Max 800 kv or the esc and motor will overheat
More battery less stalling
hello can you tell me what it takes to make something commesa? autonomy speed as well as the price? thank you
I'm not sure how fast it actually goes but it costs about $350 for all the parts
Can you give me the stl file? Thanks
Hey Matt, not sure at what depth your controller box is good for but you might consider a magnetic coupling for your speed control. That way could control your speed while underwater. www.kjmagnetics.com/blog.asp?p=magnetic-coupling.
I built a control box for my BlueRobotics T-200 thrusters I use on a 10" fishing kayak. I have two thrusters, one on each side of the kayak and using the BlueRobotics Thruster Commander I can operate in a "skid steering" mode.
I wanted my control box to be watertight and used several other BlueRobotics components to achieve this. The control pots were the most problematic given they needed to turn.
I ended up using a couple BlueRobotics switch assemblies that I modified. This link will give you some idea of how I made the mods. www.flickr.com/photos/pakbikes/albums/72157693503533505
My control box was never intended to operate underwater but I did test it out under about a foot of water and everything inside the control box stayed dry. I was mainly wanting to keep the electronics inside the box dry from rain and water splashing onto the box or if I dropped the control box overboard. ;-)

Note that their trusters are meant to operate in water. that is how they are kept cool.

Phil Krug Yo how many times you gonna say blue robotics lol!
Where are the files for this?
how did you waterproof the motor?
You actually don't need to. Pretty much any motor can run underwater unprotected becuase the enamal on the motor windings. The only thing you really need to worry about is corrosion of the bearings and stuff
@@mattsheehy1854 This is amazing. My life is changed and will never be the same. cheers
Use CorrosionX. It's a hydrophobic fluid that prevents corrosion.
how much kv?
I think it was like 149. Something really low. You can probably find it on hobby kings. I think it's an areodrive
find the ohms for the current potentiometer in that controller " servo tester " and go to this site and buy an IP68 submergible potentiometer you will be able to control it without having to open the box

You couldn’t have 3D printed some handles? Really? Lumps of 2x1 ohhh my gawsh
Hello Mr Matt I am intereset by your project how can i contact you?
What are you interested in? This project is pretty old and didn't work all that well.
very slow and that box is super unsafe considering you have lipos in it. IT can leak underwater and you will have a very bad day.
I don't think it is very unsafe at all. What are you so scared of happening?
@@mattsheehy1854 ignorance is a bliss. Do you even remotely realize what happens to lithium if it contacts with water? That box will leak underwater.
@@NotoriusVlad Spreading miss information is bliss. Lipos only contain like 7% lithium so even if some how water gets into the sealed cell there isn't too much to react with. There is a large amount of humidity in the air which could cause the lithium to react So they must be air tight to not allow anything in therefore, they are waterproof. the worst that can happen to your batteries is that the terminals that the wires connect to could corrode. People even put many lithium batteries is salt water to fully discharge them for disposable.
Also that's a dive box rated for 16ft underwater. My pool is 7.5 feet deep it's not going to leak.
@mattsheehy1854 whatever bud, I already engineered with lithium when you was 5 years old probably. Being in denial about lipo (not liion) satety isnt gonna help you. But at least thats a dive box, so it is better, looked like a food container to me.
@@NotoriusVlad I don't really like Lipos anyway I don't really use them any more. If you want to critique my newest battery build check out this post. I'm not quite done with it yet but I'm always looking for information on how to make my large batteries safer.
