Tamiya 70185 Submarine Motor Mini: High-Speed STEM Exploration

The Tamiya 70185 Submarine Motor Mini is a versatile addition to any STEM project toolkit, providing enhanced propulsion capabilities for underwater exploration. This model is particularly suited for educational purposes and hobbyist experimentation, offering a unique opportunity to understand basic mechanical principles through hands-on assembly and use.

Design and Functionality

Featuring a distinctive red casing with a white screw and rudder, the Submarine Motor Mini is engineered for easy identification and operation. The motor's high-speed performance is attributed to its unique winding, delivering approximately 40% more speed than previous models, achieving a rate of 1 meter per 3.2 seconds. This makes it an excellent choice for projects requiring fast and efficient underwater movement.

Practical Applications

With its waterproof design, supported by durable O-rings, this motor ensures reliability in aquatic environments. It includes a 35mm suction cap and a 50mm auxiliary board, allowing for adaptable use in various settings. The rudder at the rear enables directional control, enhancing its functionality in dynamic water-based experiments.

Power and Compatibility

The Submarine Motor Mini operates on a single R03/AAA/UM4 alkaline battery (not included), offering up to one hour of continuous use. Its compact dimensions (Length: 108mm, Width: 23mm, Weight: 41.2g) make it suitable for integration into a wide range of STEM kits and educational modules.
