concretedogTiny bit of sunday #tinkering on the tiny underwater vehicle project. Decided it needs lights so looked at how cables might run etc. #making #junke
Bonkers@concretedog I wonder if magnetic coupling would work here, so that there's a complete separation between motors and the propeller.
@bonkers so this is based on the Dark Water Foundation workshops from a decade ago where it was discovered that 3-6V dc motors run fine in fresh water! It's a very simple, fun little platform!
@concretedog I guess they won't last long anyway, because of washed out lubricant, corrosion, and mud.
@bonkers not the experience of the projects tbh.
Chris Huffee@concretedog I had two of the original Shrkey motors to give you in my Edinburgh bag. Will bring them to Makefest.
@huffeec ah interesting! I think those run a bbit slower than the ones I have sourced.. be cool to see ta!
