Scooter Underwater
Can i run a 24 volt motor underwater?
I got this motor off of an electric scooter. I want to build an underwater fan i could hold onto for swimming purposes. It will be used in fresh water (much less conductive). I have run small dc motors underwater without a problem. I just want to know for sure before i sacrifice my big motor. it is a carbon brushed dc motor. i mean moto submerged. no protective coating or stuff.
ok ill give a better descripotion of the motor. there are no holes or vents. just the wires coming out and the shaft. if i silicone the wire openings and then varnish the seals, should it work? im only going to use this thing in about five feet of water. and the batteries would not shock you because u are not the shortest path to ground. seald lead acid batteries would work.
The motor you describe would not run under water without a serious water tight housing. And "sacrifice" is the word. It would not last very long.
There are 12 and 24 volt DC motors that are designed for under water use. Look for a used trolling motor at a pawn shop.
