Fastest Dive Scooter In The West ???

[Eastwest]

Just finished working on Big Boy , scooter number two , had to modifying the battery tray and hold down . I think it goes five hundred feet a minute , that is what Karim said reviewing the video , wow now ready to fly ! I have not been in the water with it for eight years or so but trust it having a bullet proof design . Look Ma Ma I have no fins with a tank or two on my back and you mutton heads soon will see . Not in a box but a circle is what I had in mind ! Goodtimes Rumdumb

I can't imagine it being a comfortable ride at 500ft/min.

No to mention you would need pretty close to 5kw of power to achieve 500fpm.

It's amazing how <1kw will get you 100m/min but drag increasing by the square of speed makes going faster much more costly.

Square or cube? If I recall my racing numbers, doubling the speed requires 8X the power for the same drag.

My wife was a motion picture studio grip which also covers underwater filming . I thought tonight about my ability to build a one off underwater craft specializing to go forward and backwards with precision steering for the very best under water camera shots . The rental could be astronomical since one does not exist and prove my gift of mechanical aptitude . Be good and kind Rumdumb
