A jet ski jet is gigantic for a psub. Jet ski's have 50hp and more, the one I have is from a 750 cc two stroke engine. Mine has a 3 inch nozzle at least maybe more. Jets are very bad for maneuvering, they have no grip in the water like a prop. Yes fast ferries use them but they are owned by governments, check the fuel tank size lol. I would do some reading about jet viruses props. Don't get me wrong, I love the idea, and it is a fun idea, I just don't think it will do what you imagine it will. I hope I am wrong.<br>

Hi Hank<br>
<br>
<br>
I agree a jet drive is the<br>
way to go did you not think that a jet ski drive<br>
was to small and would only drive a small<br>
craft. I intend to build a larger<br>
jet drive<br>
and compress the water. This will be easy and add power to<br>
the<br>
system the jet drive from a jet ski<br>
would not drive a sub but I am certain I<br>
can<br>
overcome the problems by building a larger jet drive and a<br>
compressor.<br>
Thank you for your input and I<br>
will keep you informed as the project un<br>
folds.<br>
<br>

Hi Marc de Piolenc<br>
<br>
I agree whole heartedly there is nothing inefficient about a water jet just<br>
point it one way and add power and you will end up going the other way as<br>
they say a=b= push. I will carry on with this and have a working craft at<br>
the end to enjoy.<br>

There is nothing inherently inefficient about waterjets. There are<br>
commercial fast ferries using them and getting very good thrust per<br>
horsepower - better than any supercavitating propeller could do at the same<br>
speed, certainly.<br>
<br>
Lousy design will of course produce poor results, and jets are much less<br>
amenable to rule-of-thumb construction than open propellers. But whether it<br>
is "well known" or not, good design will produce good results.<br>

Alec,<br>
This project will take some time, and some experimenting. I am using a 23cubic inch hyd motor to drive the cart. I am not sure that will do it, so I am building it to take any motor.<br>

What<br>
impresses me is that to most of us this would be a six month<br>

I don't think water jets are necessarily inefficient, but if there is<br>
considerable piping around of the water before it exits through the jets,<br>
that's what I was referring to. However, even that was not meant as<br>
criticism, it is just a normal trade-off. It is surely less efficient than<br>
a conventional direct-coupled prop, but you also get<br>
entanglement-resistance and maneuverability.<br>
