I'm working on a hovercraft project with some friends, and we're trying to figure out the best way to take the power output from an 11hp engine and turn it 90 degrees.
Specifically, it's a vertical shaft engine, and I want to use it to drive the propulsion prop. My thought is that the best solution is probably a bevel gear setup, but rather than hand make something, can anyone suggest an easy pre-made item that can be retasked?
Right now I'm considering a differential from an ATV, seems like that could do what I need pretty handily, but if there's an obvious car part that can handle a 10hp 100% duty cycle and happens to be cheap, it's worth picking your brains first.
