[PSUBS-MAILIST] Thruster Reliability

[Alan James via Personal_Submersibles]

Thanks for the credit Alec, I think it was Brian Hughes ideafrom a previous discussion. Glad we are making some progress.As far as the oil / air debate is concerned, I believe Carsten said that you only need a few drops of sea water into an air compensated thruster to wreck it, whereas if there is oil in there the water doesn't do the same damage.Your compensator can be used as an air over oil system.You could even run 2 thrusters off the same compensator as a test. One with oil, one just air.Alan
