I enjoy building interesting things like this underwater drone / rov and i couldn't do it without the HELP of my Patreon Supporters.

This is a quick build and test of the underwater ROV but if you would like to see the full version of the build head over to my 2nd channel called Drasticg Projects HERE!
• Video
This underwater rov/drone was relatively easy apart from sourcing the parts from eBay and amazon as some parts where very hard to find at a cheap price.
Another problem is the visibility of the waterways in the UK and with winter upon us the water clarity isn't the best so it may be a summer project to use the rov/drone.

How many volts are you supplying for the drone and how many meters of power cable?
The music just ruined it all, enjoying real sound is so enjoyable.
When alexander bell invented the phone he had 3 missed calls from drastic g ...top job mate
Ha ha ha ghats hilarious
@@drasticg haha keep up the good vids mate ive introduced you to the lads on my nightshift as where rained off unloading ships on the river tyne maybe a few more subscribers
@@richardhorner9185 brilliant thanks for that mate really appreciate it
@@drasticg no worries
Sounty
Drastic g taking magnet fishing to a whole new level 😂😂
I have so many bigger and better ideas in my head so 2020 will be a good year
Drasticg well I for one will be watching can’t believe how efficient that drone is good work 👍🏻
@@tommoran1301 thankyou pal means alot
@@drasticg such a true einstein can't wait to see more💕
Everyone starts somewhere and for your first attempt at an under water submersible, hats off to you 👍
Thanks pal
You need to use impeller desgin drive. Props in a tube with a guard on the front and smaller holes down the side so your still get some drive if guard is blocked.
Thanms for the advice mate
What a brilliant invention Gareth absolutely brilliant
Thankyou pam i enjoyed making it
Wow G that's turned out amazingly well. Considering it's being put in a canal which in England means liquid that's more of a soup than your traditional water it returns some lovely images. If you're planning on improvements one thing I think you could easily achieve with a single servo is a mechanism to tilt the camera forward and backwards. Front facing camera is well and good for navigation but if you can make it point 45 degrees downwards you can look at the canal bed without having to get so close you either hit it or disturb a load of silt. Also, I can see you've got the tether and data line mounted to one of the floats, ideally you need this mounted directly behind the center of forward thrust, if its to the side it'll cause uneven drag and make the unit turn unintentionally, if it's above or below it'll pitch. Awesome work though, really interesting build.
Thanks mate thats some awesome advice that i was looking for and with these improvements it will improve loads
Ta
I can make it I am 14 years old I am India odisha
What was the material u used for covering the motors
And pls give some details of the motors
Very kewl design. Hope you get those issues/bugs worked out soon. Seeing what's down there in the waterways is an awesome idea. Hats off to ya, my friend.
Thanks kevin ik working on the improvements over christmas
very cool! so clever waiting for a radio controlled barge that hauls up the finds lol
If i win the lotto i will make it
The music volume is horrible :(
I keep having to adjust volume.
Sorry will adress that for future uploads
@@drasticg Thanks for listening to your viewers!
The video was great though :)
@@SkywereProductions im glad of the feedback so i can improve my videos cheers
@@drasticg I gotta 2nd that with the sound levels. In whatever editor you're using, always check your volume levels. make sure its slightly lower than your speaking level. Cheers.
You certainly put alot of work into that, looks a work of art! A problem i can see there is the power cable getting snagged on underwater obstacles. For the power source, a couple of power banks or one of those jump start units, would be more convenient than lugging a car battery around!
that looks like those pro under water drones that they use on documentaries!
I would consider this a successful test, I would suggest more maneuverability, and as many toughening measures as you can think of, but as a first run you're on an excellent course
Thankyou robert was was chuffed it didnt sink lol
This design you have made seems really efficient, nice one!
Great idea keep working at it Gareth this could lead to big and better things
ie evidence findings🙏 looking forward to seeing further more x
Great bit of home building there Gareth
Thanks lee i cant wait to build bigger and better
Is the full build video still available anywhere? I'm planning on building a similar thing, and it would be really helpful. Thanks :)
That is amazing mate! Love it, cant wait to see you use it in action! Bet it will great in summer when there is no rain!
Defo mate the water is alot clearer in summer time
LG
Hope you will accept quality threshold from the experts when you decide to start exploring the titanic😁😁
Very cool, but I am easily impressed
Wow! Great job man! Your project is awesome!
BTW what is that coating you added to the motors?
its toiilet bowl wax
Quite nice! I’ll have an eye out for further updates! 😜
Always fun to experiment with a DIY ROV
Nice job mate
Thanks
That's way cool. Here's a thought... Have an arm in front of camera with a remote release to drop a magnet onto your target. Excellent work G!
Thanks pal i will try that idea in the future
Keep dreaming and creating brother
Will do
That’s brilliant Gareth, when I first saw the heading I thought “mmm, not sure about this!” But defo excelled there pal, 👍
Ha ha thanks pal im glad you like it
Just watching your projects film now 👍
@@stewriley1183 awesome thanks pal
Wow, very cool. I think that was a great first test of the device!
Sure was tom and i have learnt slot all ready thanks
I wanna make one of these and dive it down to the titanic and steal some loot!
Well done mate!
You're such a legend lmao. Great content, your channel is gonna grow so much soon if you keep it up.
thanks pal i really hope so
Holy sh*t dude that was ace! Genuinely looking forward to 2.0!
Good stuff 👍🏻
thanks neil im going to make a few mods to this and save my pennys to make a bigger and bettter one
Bit like Lego?Great job,not an easy project to take on.
Thankyou
@@drasticg your welcome.maybe patent it aswell.
Put that camera on a movable mount and connect a servo so u have a gimbal type movement
Well done. You could improve the speed/ effectiveness of the props by using fishing line on the umbilical. The nylon rope creates added drag. Prop guards come with their own problems i.e. loss of power due to cavitation. Try reducing the drag first and see how you go.
Thanks for the info mate will try that
Brilliant!! Cant wait to see if you build a bigger and better one.. ive always found canals intriguing and would love to see videos of the canal floors!!
Cheers pal im trying to improve this and once ive worked out the kinks and then i will scale it up
wow i am well and truly impressed Gareth what a great effort, great video mate keep up the good work
Thanks pal i will do
My man, first video and already a fan. Great find your channel. Great energy. 💎🦾
Absolutely brilliant 🤘 well done mate! What an excellent project! Them guns don’t stand a chance now lol
Ha ha ha hope i dont see no bodys
Drasticg if you do, you can contract out to the police lol
Wow great job! It can only get better with a few tweeks here and there, I'll look forward to your progress.
Cheers pal ive got loads of ideas from the comments section
How many volts do you supply to the drone?How many volts are you supplying for the drone and how many meters of power cable?
Well made. Always fancied trying something like that. Was waiting to see the obligatory ASDA shopping trolly in the water. LOL🤣
in a dramatic voice you should say......Release the Kraken!
Ha ha ha
Super cool and will give me an idea because i have to make one for a school project in a bit
good luck
That’s so good mate well done.....different level 👍🏻
thanks adam glad you think so
How did you protect the motors so from the water.
What is the best solution?
Very creative, can not wait for more content on these types of videos.
Thanks pal future videos should be good
what material did you use and can you give in detail what size/measure for pvc pipe did you use...
Awesome and Merry Christmas Drastic.
Merry christmas mate
Drasticg Thanks
Nice one Gareth 👍🏼
Thankyou
Dude, that is totally freakin awesome!
Thanks patrick
can i know the specifications of your motors and battery used? thank you in advance
This is really really good idea, but I'd point the light down so it focuses on the bottom rather than straight on. Keep up the good work
Thanks fot the advice i will do ta
Thats pretty cool gareth mate 👍 merry christmas to you and all your subscribers 🍻
Thankyou pal and merry christmas to you and the family
I like the camera setup you used. Great pictures! I know its not clear but you can't help the water clarity.
As far as drives, I've seen similar projects using boat bilge pumps. Andvantages: already water-tight, 12 Volt, powerful, protected impellers, and easy to wire. The disadvantages are that they only thrust in one direction so you will need six instead of three. If you do use them get one's without built-in float switches.
When installing the thrusters, instead of pointing them directly backwards, try installing them pointed 45 deg towards the center line of the craft. This will allow you to turn in place.
Cheers for the advice mate
That's Awesome Gareth..
Wish the video was longer..
Interesting looking under water..
I'm looking forward to seeing the new video..🏆
Cheers pal i will be taking it out again very soon
a brilliant prototype, Gareth!
thanks john ive learnt loads from this one proto so cant wait to make bigger and better soon
@@drasticg looking forward to seeing it!
Well done in making that it’s a great bit of kit 👍
Thankyou Russell and hope you are well
That's an awesome project for a lad and his dad to do together fair play greatewsults mate I hope you find plenty of Rusty gold with it g
Cheers pal and it would be nice for someone to build with their kids
What is the wifi range on the endoscope you got? Also what is the case that you put over it?
you would have to see what the specs are on the amazon listing
This is a great submersible project! Is it possible to modify this design to include an HD 360 camera so we can go back through the footage from all angles of each dive?
Thanks for the video
Don't you need to fill any tank with water, to drown the robot??
Only by propeller it is going down??
I am planning one of these. I was considering a underwater pump for thrust with valves and rudder etc
Oh cool let me know if you make it
Nice work 👍 I think it would be a good idea to use some guards around the props and also fix the camera on a tilt/pan gimbal. You can also use a 2.4ghz radio set and some ESC on the motors for precise control. 2.4 ghz should be able to penetrate into the water, but even if it won’t, Rx can be wired out and float on surface.
Awesome thanks for the advice mate
I was told 40mhz will work under water need a 40mhz transmitter and recevier with 2x 40mhz crystals both paird.
Your getting better and better every time great video mate
Thanks pal
Haha brilliant! Great video
Thanks george
Could you not raise the voltage if the motors would handle it? I'm no expert but you might see more performance from higher voltage LiPo batteries with a voltage regulator going to the cameras and other sensitive stuff
Yes i could mate and probably will
Awesome! Did you build the gopro and light enclosure or purchase it somewhere?
I purchased that mate
what did you use to seal the motors? was that toilet wax? any tips on applying it?
The motors are in a camera film tube and sealed with toilet bowl wax, thats it
Hey Garath, your the "Nutty Proffesor" way to go my man, your very bright and a real deal with the inventing. Keep up the good work you have made me smail tonight. :)
Thanks pal really appreciate the kind words
That is really cool. I am going to build one to explore a 60ft down.
Awesome, keep me updated on how it goes please
Amazing.. can u share the size of pvc and underwater drone
Fantastic stuff as usual, I reckon you'd make a mint selling the stuff you produce and you've certainly given me some inspiration to go and tinker in my shed...
Thanks pal
Been watching your channel for a while and rarely comment in videos. Good work and content mate
thanks sonny appreciate the comment
nice build sir. attempting something similar for my college project. can ye tell me what you used for waterproofing the motors?
Toilet bowl wax
Ballast tanks like an rc submarine would work well
thanks for the tip and i just need to work out how to make them
@@drasticg th-cam.com/video/zU3EgLBFgow/w-d-xo.html
May be of some help.
Really interesting watching your video, looking forward to seeing more of your projects.
Thanks pal most my projects will be on my second channel drasticg projects
@@drasticg ok, thanks for letting me know, i'll have a look. :)
@@andrewcrowley7976 cheers pal
@@drasticg just seen a couple more of your vids, the narrowboat one is brilliant, I have been on board one, but not for a cruise.
Hi, i cant watch the full video that you built the drone and dont know the problem can you please reply with the video link please
i may of deleted it mate, i will have a look now
Brilliant,what a clever chap you are,good luck
thanks mate im not clever just stubborn and persistent lol
Hello from Korea. Thx for good videos. What is that you attached on the motors for waterproof??
Much bigger sub then it's of to Scotland to go find Nessy. Great creation mate well done
Thanks pal
Good what you have made
Thznkyou caroline
what material do you use to waterproof your motors (give me a link please)
Its wax
1100 gph bilge pumps cut all the casings off the motor will need to make prop adapters , and 50 to 60mm rc boat prop, is a good cheep option, prob with brushless is you'll need a better control board, although i have seen people yousing s-bus rc gear witch is also simple to set up, at some point will do the sbus with mine if i ever get it finished haha
Cheers for the advice
It worked. Absolutely awesome little waterbot u made. Great pictures even tho the water was a bit soupy.
hi lisa the visibility will be better in the summer so i cant wait
@@drasticg i thought the vis was pretty good 2 b honest, u will find that summer will not b so good cos of the algae n other stuff that grows in the water that time of year.
@@lisafarr2317 oh ok thankyou for letting me know
Absolutely awesome find, really missing nick and the kids
Is that a honey i shrunk the kids reference lol
This is mint mate your a genius! 👍
Thanks pal appreciate it
Can you please give details on how you used the phone and linked it to the camera on the ROV
A great project, a success because of your skills.
Thankyou my friend
@@drasticg It is a great project and I recognize myself in technology
@@oldmanhuppiedos what does recognise yourself in technology mean ?
love it .merry christmas gareth
MERRY CHRISTMAS and hope you have a lovely NEW YEAR
@@drasticg Thankyou
Take that to the lakes you will find top stuff
I will be doing in the summer mate
Cool project!
Thanks tom glad you like it
Love you magnet fishing ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Same
Thanks pal
Cheers pal
Super Idea. Good Work.
Thanks pal
I was surprised how much the go pro picked up underwater especially with how much rain we've been having
Most places are dark brow but this was ok
@@drasticg I went down to my local river the other day and the water looked like hot chocolate lol it was a good job I was just down there doing some target practice with my catapult and not fishing
Goooooo BRAZIIIILLLLL
You just got a new subscriber! Great video and such an awesome underwater drone! 👏😄
Thankyou mate
Some people are just too damn smart for their own good! Excellent job bud..........So when will you start taking orders? Throw my name in that box!
I wish i had the time to build these lol
Well done mate , You’ve got fantastic skills and brilliant ideas keep them coming.🇬🇧🇬🇧🛸🛸👍👍
