Hi all,
I flipped thru the DIY forums and didnt see anything on scooters. I'm at the very start of this project and was thinking of using some parts from this scooter place as they seem to have a variety of batteries and 12/24v motors.
The specificatios for the scooter I'd like to build are as follows:
Max Depth: 120ft
Shell: Aluminium
Voltage: 24v
Burn time: 80min
Max Speed: 4kts
I would like to keep the diameter small so I can rely on the housing material for strenght and also so I dont have far to transmit heat from the motor. Looking around the net scooters usually have large diameter housings when the motor and batteries are very narrow. It seems from a hydrodynamic standpoint a narrower profile would be more efficent. Anyone know why that is?
I dont suppose anyone has a website o rthe math to calculate burntime on Batteries.
