[PSUBS-MAILIST] T-Rex Thrusters & Cooling

[Joe Perkel]

Vance,<br/><br/>I recognized immediately that very "off-the-shelf" utility. Still, it's an area of unfamiliarity so that's why the wary eye on seemingly innocuous details like that air gap. With that in mind and an interest in exploiting advantages of any potential modern improvements, the question then becomes,..What are the big dogs doing to get into those tall weeds? <br/><br/>http://www.tecnadyne.com/cms/index.php/products/products-overview/thruster<br/><br/>In looking at the tech specs for this product line the first question to come to my mind is why the stupendous range of voltages? (up to 330 vdc).<br/><br/>The next several observations of interest then being:<br/><br/>The use of high rpm low inertia motors coupled to high ratio planetary reduction drives<br/>The use of 6061 T6 AL housings<br/>The exclusive use of magnetic couplings<br/>The option to oil compensate the same dry units used in shallower depths<br/>The use of beautifully designed
 and fabricated Kort nozzles<br/><br/>So in my letter to Santa for the stocking stuffer, ...this one @ 48  vdc,....<br/>http://www.tecnadyne.com/cms/images/products/pdf/Model%202020%20Brochure.pdf<br/><br/>The question then becomes, what can a home builder using off the shelf components and T-Rex fabrication techniques realistically hope to take from the big dogs?<br/><br/>Joe<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Thanks for the detailed response which I've saved accordingly.<br/><br/>Sent from Yahoo!
