Dangle the power source above water and have the wires from the power source with the motor connected submerged in the water.

Its not a electrical hazard.

The motor will run in the water, under more load than it would in the air, the extra work to get the brushes moving against the comm breaks the brushes and comms in faster than they would at 1bar. The water will turn grey/milky from the parts breaking in by the time the batteries start running dry. Remove it from the water, dry it as best as you can, fill the can with electric motor oil, throw some new batteries in the power source and start running the motor again.

There is an entire thread on this here http://pub238.ezboard.com/fxmodrcfrm...picID=47.topic
