| 1155767 | 2010-11-22 23:56:00 | Those of you who saw my last post on the success of the last jet boat will probably get the idea of what i'm talking about when I mention model Jet drives. Basically, now that David has finished his jet boat and so have the rest of the 7th form design students, the boat mold will be free for a good few months so I'm planning of designing a nice new jet boat to use and build. Engines and remote control parts are easy enough to source and solder up, my problem is with obtaining a jet drive. I have looked over the internet a bit and have not seen any mention of model jet boat suppliers in NZ, there was one on TM but it was only 82mm long, far too tiny. If anyone knows who can supply a jet drive suitable for a boat between 1-1.5m in length I would greatly appreciate it. Hopefully this boat will be a bit better that the previous one in respect to the actual design, the boat was intentionally designed as a prop driven vessel and not a lot of thought went into aspects such as wiring and jet propulsion units. hopefully I can overcome the design challenges we had with the first boat. Cheers The marine error guy |

| 1155769 | 2010-11-23 04:41:00 | Cheers Kahawai, I have been looking at pulse jets for a while in relation to avionics, not quite the right thing for a boat, well I guess you could but i'd like a water jet. Cheers for the link to aardvark, it's been a good 4 mths and still no advance in my Pulse projects. |
