[PSUBS-MAILIST] (no subject)Thruster Mount

[Alan via Personal_Submersibles]

Hank,
was thinking you could be extravagant & go with 2 lots of thrusters.
Have one lot inside the cowling for submerged use & the other pair
at the back for surface or mid water & shallow use. So you get your
economy & safety.
It would also give you redundancy; as with our tractor steering, if one 
horizontal thruster or motor controller goes down you go round in circles. 
Also you would have nearly double the power if you needed it.
I am putting 4 horizontal thrusters on my current build.
Alan

The best performance location is outside the body at the back and is the best place for balance. So it comes down to safety over performance. The sub does have a jettisoning occupant sphere
