Building a Lego powered Submarine 2. 0 magnetic couplings
This RC sub has magnetic couplings to transmit torque through the walls. No need to drill holes no leaks. At the end I test it in a swimming pool. Enjoy Differences to the first sub rectangular hull (need flat walls for magnetic couplings) snapandlock lid (more reliable, less leakage) bigger motors, more motors, more propellers depth control using propellers (IMO more accurate compared to a syringe ballast tank) lead pellets for ballast (easier to adjust, both shape and weight, compared to steel plates) captain (thanks everyone for pointing out this obvious missing part :)) The submarine specs: Displacement: 2. 7 kg (6. 0 lb) Test depth: 1. 5 m (4. 9 ft) Hull: glass food container (IKEA 365+ 1. 8l), plastic lid Motors: 3x Lego XLmotor (88821) Magnetic couplings: K J Magnetics R844N52 neodymium magnet, TapeCase 4235 UHMW Tape Propellers: Lego propeller blade (2952), Lego liftarms Radio control: 27 MHz controller dissembled from a toy submarine (Zantec Min
