Any idea how well a jet ski engine and pump might work for a 6" dredge?
Dang, something I thought was simple turned out to be very complex, lol. Everyone seems to think that only a centrifugal pump would work because...
Here is an example of how a gold dredge works for those who don't know. [IMG]
Also, the largest pump they produce is a 1500 gpm centrifugal pump with a 5" intake, 4" discharge, 230 feet of head lift, and requires at minimum...
Thanks again baeckmo, that's alot of good information. The reason why I brought this up is because I like to dredge for gold. Every gold dredge...
Ok, so this is what I'm trying to figure out. Let's say you had twin 50 HP engines. Both engines are exactly the same. One engine is on a stand...
So I'm guessing a 30 HP engine could move about 750 gpm. How high is the pressure from a jet pump compared to a centrifugal pump?
Thank you baeckmo. So if I'm correct then a 200 HP engine with about a 9 inch intake would move close to 5000 gallons per minute depending on...
Anyone know what the flow rate of water from a jet drive is? Gpm or gph? And what HP of engine it takes to get that flow?
