[PSUBS-MAILIST] Perry thrusters

[via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,
I wish we knew the history on those. They are a different design than I worked with. Starting with PC-5, Perry built exclusively 120 volt propulsion systems except for 1401 (which was 36 and used a golf cart motor for the main prop). The ones you have may have come from 1402, but that was after my day at Perry. The Army had been using one of the 3 boats for many years at the Kwajalein test center, and it may have had 120 volt service. I'm just not sure about that. Your test suggests they were from something besides 1401, in any case. I'll be interested to see what you come up with to step that voltage up. Maybe something modern would do it without too much waste. I wouldn't bet on it, though.

Hi Vance,
I bought these Perry thrusters from Steve and he thinks they are 36V DC  and I am not so sure.  The internal wiring seems  light to me for 36V   Do you recall what voltage they might be?
Thanks'
Hank
