Thrusters Part 1

Required Items:
  • Tube of Seal All
  • 1 in PVC cap (Sized to Fit My Motor)
  • Tube of Plumbers Grease
  • Some Rubber (Inner Tubes Work Well)
  • Some Cheap Pipe or Coupling that the Motor Fits in Well
  • DC Motor
  • A Washer that Will Cover Up the Holes Where the Shaft Comes Out of the Motor 
  • A Thruster Propeller

Tools needed:
  • Drill and Drill Bit (slightly larger than the motor shaft
  • Saw
  • Q-tips
  • Scissors
  • Needle


Step One:

Using a drill bit that is slightly larger than the motor shaft drill a hole in the center of the cap.  (Note: I had to use a Dremel to enlarge the inner dimension of the cap as well.)  Make sure the shaft aligns up with the hole.  Go up a size on the drill bit if necessary.
