BlueRobotics’ T100 Underwater Thruster is in, their words, “an efficient, rugged, affordable underwater thruster to propel the future of marine robotics and ocean exploration.” Designed specifically for marine robotics, the T100 is made of UV resistant polycarbonate injection molded plastic along with plastic bearings, aluminum, and stainless steel making it perfect for ocean use. The propeller and nozzle provides efficient thrust of over five pounds, while active water cooling keeps the motor from overheating.
Key Features
– Efficient brushless electric motor
– Compact design that fits in any project
– Strong and UV resistant polycarbonate plastic
– No enclosed pressure cavities to handle extreme pressures
– High-performance plastic bearings that don’t corrode
