Here we have a peculiar video of Tunze’s largest water pump, the Turbelle MasterStream 6515, outfitted to a small boat and pushing it along with great force. We received this video from Roger Vitko of Tunze USA who estimates that the boat, battery and passenger probably weighed in around 450 pounds yet it appears that the MasterStream still managed to push this watercraft at a reasonable speed. Regardless of the actual volume of water being pumped by this jumbo propeller water pump, it clearly produces a lot of thrust and perhaps we should be measuring the performance of aquarium water pumps in Newtons of thrust to normalize the speed, volume and direction of the overall flow.
