Dual Voltage Variable Thrust (DVVT) First Test

After many delays I finally got to field test electronics on what will become the next generation for the JetNautilus; dual voltage variable thrust (DVVT).

The video shows cruising speed at 12 V variable thrust. It dives within about two seconds when 24 V is applied. When the sub is cruising at the surface it is operating on 12 V variable thrust, when 24 V is applied, within about two seconds it automatically dives. This is just as predicted. This pond is only about 10 feet deep so I could not extend the submergence test. But I am completely satisfied that the test has resulted in my predictions, cruise speed, at 12 V or less, and at 24 V the sub automatically dives. Just as I predicted.

Im thinking about turning capabilities by diverting 24 volt power to the left or right pumps. I think I can do that. All I would need would be a reverse pump, and I would have all directions covered, with just a few more electronic manuipilations. I just might could that?
