For scale underwater use two lasers 4 inches apart and line them up.. the two dots on object will be four inches and help with scale
That's actually pretty smart
@@YosuaNangin most research uav's use this method.. not my idea but thought it might help
Yes, EVnautilus uses this method for the research submarine you can see in their videos.
damn that is a great idea!
he needs to build an own submarine with all the tweaks:) If anyone can do it, it is him... but I guess that needs pretty expensive manufacturing, cause pressure, watertightness, etc..
Why four inches? Would four centimeters, or ten, or a mile make any difference? Or is it just that the first people to do it had theirs four inches apart, and now everybody else has theirs four inches apart?
The bow of the first wreck you lost interested me, it looked old. After a bit of research, it seems you found the JE Boyden, built in 1888 as a tugboat and sank in 1935. A very genuine wreck!
This comment is pretty underrated. Thanks for the info.
I agree, your comment is very underrated! Nice work doing the research on the JE Boyden.
Thank you. Very interesting history
At 23:42 you can see another name... cant make out the first part.. but ends in MA?
@@kens97sto171 That's FOSS 54, a wooden barge. The "MA" is from its home port registration of Taco(ma), Washington. It sank sometime between 1969 and 1975.
The big shipwreck "Foss 54" really is big - 110ft. There's quite a bit of information about it if you google the name.
Sadly there doesn't seem to be any photos of it while it was in good shape, only after it was abandoned.
It seems to have sunk in 1969.
Nice
It looks like a plane name
When you operate a submarine rover please mount a red-white ball on the boat on the surface. This ball signals underwater operations undergoing. The driving ships make let you more space to operate with the rover.
Also if you have an anchor down. Have a ball up. So other water users know you are not moving
@@Stuwy2 In Daytime no. In nighttimes you have an Anchorlight on the top of the Mast. The white- red Ball is a Signal of undergoing underwater operations. If it's necessary you can marking the diving area with white- red buoys. So you have a defined space for your rover or the Team of Divers.
@@mosermarcel1970 It's not a red and white ball, it is a red and white bouy, and should be placed in the water directly over the people / vehicle that are diving.
Stuwy is also correct, a black anchor ball can be shown at the front of the vessel to warn other craft that you are stationary and at anchor.
Please study your regs again. If your craft is over 7 metres and doesn't show a black anchor ball when anchoring your boat insurance can be nulled in the event of a collision. It has happened to many people.
Nerd
This is why california makes you take boaters safety course.
Most people have no idea all that goes into operating even a relatively small vessel.
22:55 That's an old Foss barge. Foss is a tugboat company.
Last reports have it listed as a “float” in Seattle. The FOSS 54 was last used on Lake Union, and still is there today 20 feet offshore from Gasworks park in 10-25 feet of water.
Damn, that Barge has some history.
23:42 part of the name visible?
@@kruleworld i'm more disappointed he completely passed the phone on a stabilizer back there. Imagine the secrets it holds!
@@SuperAdnan117 if somehow the phone still worked it would be immoral to go through it.
There's plenty of stuff on the bottom of the lake, but the bottom is covered by 2 to 3 feet of silt that covers everything. If you can add a magnetometer to your bottom crawler you can find some interesting things. Especially around MoHAI, which was a Naval armory in the past. There have been a number of old weapons found there.
I'd kill for a whole 3 hours of this. This was so entertaining.
Thats a bit of an overstatement
I posted some underwater drone videos on my channel if you are interested, lots of critters and shipwrecks
@@Meanie010 Hey first relevant, calm and to the point selfpromoting comment i see. Well done, ill give you a like on a random video to help the algorithm for you :)
@@Meanie010 oh yay thanks
lol
You gotta build a retrieval mechanism to grab all of the stuff you see.
Defo a 3d printer gripper.
Things like the phone and gimbal you would need to put effort into finding the owner, otherwise that's theft by finding.
Like he talked about in the video, this ROV has a gripper attachment that it comes with and he has a video using it that's coming out later
Not just a retrieval mechanism; he needs a submersible of about 10x the size and 20x the power of the one he's using so he can lift some of that large junk out of there and scrap it or get it to a landfill lol. That little drone isn't going to be able to lift an E-bike, unfortunately.
@@Ithirahad no but it can bring a rope with either a magnet or a hook and wrap it around the bike
If your anchor is dragging that much put like 3m of chain between it and the rope. As the weight of the chain is what stops you from moving, along with making the anchor dig into the bottom more.
Agreed. Or, if you don't want to put a chain, just give more line. It is the rope/line that holds the boat, not the iron at its tip. I see texts recommending the deployed anchor line length to be between 3 and 5 times the depth where you are anchored. The heavier the line, the less length needed.
@@gabrielassisbezerra yeah I normally go with 3times the depth, but my tiny (24 foot) yacht has 30m of chain and then 50m of rope. I have basicaly never seen it drag the anchor, at the price of taking Popeye levels of strength to weigh anchor.
@@gabrielassisbezerra The chain keeps the pull on the anchor more horizontal, it is the weight that does it. So chain would definitely help, as you acknowledge. More line definitely decreases the angle from horizontal but isn't even close to ideal.
SUrprise you havent made a Dynamic Position system for that Whaler yet. Basically imagine it with four thrusters that keep the boat in the same position with GPS. Oil Drilling ships use it for prospecting drills.
You already half way there with those two thrusters, just need two more on the bow and something to control them.
You don't need 4 thrusters. I commented this on the last video, but you can do that exact thing with only 2 outboards but they must have independent steering control. Mercury, Yamaha, Evinrude, they all have systems that can provide 3 axis movement (yaw, fore/back, and lateral) as long as you have 2 or more outboards. You can move laterally by turning both outboards away from eachother, then putting one in forward gear and the other in reverse.
A simple electric bow mount trolling motor will do GPS position hold just fine for not much money and is a simple bolt on. A lot of tech is made for recreational fishing and readily available.
Those logs you saw are most likely from the days when logging was going on in the area over 100 years ago .Remember Kirkland was started out as a lumber town .and the lake level was lower then .
I'd love to see a video of you and maybe some friends go down with scuba gear / snorkels and go explore those shipwrecks that were in shallower water! Love the videos!
Nice work. To stabilise your control vessel and minimise any possible tangling of control cords with anchor ropes, drop an anchor off the bow when you sub, then wait a minute for your vessel to settle on the anchor, then drop a second anchor, preferably off the stern. Gently take up excess slack and tie off. Boom. Instant stable sub control table
I wonder how hard it would be for it to carry and attach a strong line so you can pull up the things that are too heavy for it to grab with the claw.
Possibly with a fishing magnet?
It would take one knot.
you are one of the channels that no matter what the content is I just click the video, its always good.
The next Titanic expedition should have a few of these to get footage inside the wreck.
I'm not sure whether the saying is that this aged well, or poorly.
The timing 😂
You're Brave AF for doing that in the winter. The last thing you want todo is have to dive after that if it gets really snagged on something.
... True, diving seems good way to retrieve stuff till you almost die. I was diving to push anchors into mud then my shorts hooked on anchor chain and I though ok 10 seconds of breathe left I just killed myself.. but then my shorts slipped away.. I no longer dive with shorts to push anchor into mud, there is no wiggle room you snag you die.... So I hang my shorts off outboard.... Seattle lakes don't freeze I think so it's not killingly cold, I've swum lake superior and tingled for hours.... Happy new year
Something like this (or a bigger version) would be *awesome* for exploring the underwater remains of the Lighthouse of Alexandria which got toppled into Alexandria Harbour by quakes in 1303 and 1323 (iirc).
Those would be awesome to see! I've seen a documentary about the ruins' rediscovery where divers go among the huge columns and stone blocks on the harbour floor.
You should try to put a 360 cam on that. Use a stick on the front so you can poke it into holes in the wrecks.
19:34
"That's the haul there!"
"Haully crap!"
Good one, dude! Lol
I don't think I'm going to buy an underwater drone, but if I do I know I'm gonna get the claw add on for sure! It would've been so awesome seeing some of that stuff up close!
18:21 Salvaging one of those would be a cool video. You could use the claw on the sub to carry a treble/grappling hook, attached to a separate line, use the sub to hook the bike, let go with the claw, then pull the bike up with the hook line
I barely ever comment on videos but I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. It's always a great time watching them. Keep it up
Haha the excitement in your voice is awesome! Exploring and getting excited to see the lost things from yesteryear!
My idea for something to do this stuff was make a RC surface barge that drops a diving bell (jam jar with a camera and a light in it), that way it doesn’t kick up the sediment, shouldn’t get tangled in stuff and if it does you only lose the bell and not the whole craft. Might also be good to drop a claw with too and play a real life UFO game with flotsam and jetsam
For looking into water from above ( to see shipwrecks) you need polarised filters on cameras or polarised glasses for humans.
"I'm surprised there are no lime bikes down here"made me laugh and snort the liquid I was drinking, thanks. :)
22:22 "50 inches you can see it. " Simple quote from foss star line who built tugboat an ocean liner for fish
You need your sub to skim 3-5 feet over the bottom while you trawl, map the whole bottom of lake Union. That silt envelops everything!
Love your videos
One of my favourite channels of the past few years. Inspiring work. Goals such as, e.g. solar powered aquatic litter picker become more feasible on thertetic papers but demonstrate a working model of something and thats a far more compulsive argument. Fascinating projects. Cost of 1Kg in orbit is coming down but I would suggest all human waste is collected together at the equator and launched in a rotary kenetic launcher , like a huge Earth poo streaming into space, some landing on the moon and elsewhere. Good will and peace for 2023
A few meters of chain attaching the anchor to the rope weighs it down and means that when you drift the anchor has to drag through earth instead of water which locks you down. The same could be done by letting out heaps of rope to get the angle, but you run the risk of getting tangled up. Man do I wish I had one of those subs! Great vid!
Fantastic filmming!! Thank you very much for taking us along for the adventure 🌊🌊🌊 Looking forward to your future dives!
Can't wait to see the bomber! Lot's of cool stuff in documented places in Lake Washington. Bunch of cars and a big ferry down there.
Fascinating! I recommend adding a boom and pulley to mount the tether on so that someone can easily manage the line easier
If you get a chain in-between the anchor and rope it should hold the bottom better.
Or you can make the rope much longer.
that submarine looks straight out of fiction
ive been searching for this type of video, and now ive finally found it. it made my day thank you
Got at least 3 "wow wee's" this episode. Shows It is a good one.
How about putting a float on the line every so often to reduce the drag and keep it from fowling.
You got to put the grabber on it. Or put a poker device on, it would help with scale too.
With all the parties on that lake I would not be surprised no matter what you find.
While watching you struggling with the cable, an idea came to mind - why not use something like sonar to communicate with the drone instead of radio waves. Under water, sound travels much farther, and in theory it may be possible to transmit data using it
Not enough bandwidth for video signal, especially the high res he sees on the connected phone screen. Could probably cobble together something for the RC signal though.
@@redpinelabs SSTV could maybe be transmitted that way. My brother and I messed with slow scan TV audio signals across a pool a decade or so, ago. As the name implies, it was slow...very slow...and very lossy. I've often wondered if it could be improved upon.
underwater laser? how far can it go?
The first wreck you found was the J.E Boyden I believe. I say that because the picture I’m looking, the bow in it matches the one you first looked at.
I’m SHOCKED the bottom of that lake is so clean with all the industries that are on it
Make some lift bags with a CO2 cylinder and a remote trigger. See if you can hook some junk and float it up by filling the bag.
Woh, seeing my house in a youtube video is wild! Hope you enjoyed the new years festivities! The Space Needle was awesome!
That is a very old shipwreck, you should let the archaeologic authorities know. Great find!
You should make underwater lifting balloon attachment so you can hook it onto objects and have them float to the surface
Its always good to use your compass if you get lost, but just turning around and following back your tether if it gets wrapped around poles is really the quickest way back to your location. Also stop playing around with blanket and instead get the "hoodman aviator" sun visor for your tablet it works good with my chasing m2 and fifish v6 expert.
is there a GPS marker button to mark where you are? I guest it won't be precise at all since you are a tether and on a boat so the drone and you can be far apart.
As someone who draws mermaids a lot this was super useful, now I know how to make my underwater environments look really authentic!! Great video!!
Hi rctestflight, try attaching a floating device like a small bouey with a metal ring to put the data cable through. So when the sub is far away from your boat, the cable is actually above the boat more than it would be if its far away from you boat. That way you can go into more enclosed spaces or close to the ground with the cable floating directly above rather than at a shallow angle being tugged behind and waiting to be snagged on something.
You should do some underwater photogrammetry and create a 3D model of some of these things! Maybe a Gopro on photo timelapse mode?
johnnie walker Blue Label Bottle :O 10:18 someone was having a fancccccy day out on the water
You should add a short snippet of the history of the boat you found with the characters on the side of it.
Some underwater drones have a compass and vertical speed meters and a 3d replica of the drone on the corner of the screen to help you understand what the drone is doing and pointed at. Isn't that something you could implement yourself like an osd for an rc plane?
"It's up in the air now!"
Dude, i don't know how to break this to you, but the anchor is under water. :P
I really enjoyed this video. Would love to see more underwater content. Made me want to make a similar project.
Thanks for the vid. PS you could do with a longer anchor rode. 3 to 1 is the recomended min angle to properly secure the anchor 5 to 1 is better if there is wind
omg when I saw the tether all wrap up under the log! LOL
Where's the treasure hunting video you mention at the end?
Those sunken logs are probably old growth California redwood, and could be worth a small fortune, if you can find a way to recover them.
If you can manage to get a tether tied around one end, you could probably drag them to shore submerged, and pick them out with a crane, there.
Do some research. Those logs could well be worth thousands of dollars a piece. Tens of thousands for a really big one!
A bit outside the regular scope of your channel, maybe, but I think it could make for an awesome video series.
That drone is freaking awesome sic
I❤ your vids . I’ve been following you for years
Sick water takeoff too
Brilliant as always, i work offshore with ROVs and saw some interesting stuff in the Gulf. Is that tether buoyant? If not some pieces of foam along it might reduce it from getting stuck or could make it worse too... Never know when you go under the waves.
The tether is supposed to be neutrally buoyant, but they are slightly positive in my experience.
My dad grew up on Lake Union - down from Eastlake Ave. He said during the 50's there were places unsafe to swim - either from raw sewage or industrial waste or both. I'm sure it's 10x better now
All the toxic stuff like PCB etc are still there, just there are a lot more sediment layered on top of them now.
this is more entertaining then the creatures of the deep on science channel. an excellent idea for the next video, a remote-control sea plane.
Adventures With Purpose should get one of these
9:12 is that a ring by the blue solo cup? it would be so cool to scuba dive that. thanks for the video
He says he's about to witness an apartment burn down and then there were sirens. 😂
At 9:17 when you said “couldn’t even tell what that was,” it’s a gimbal for a camera. The brand on it says Hohem and I googled the name along with gray electronic, and I found multiple gimbals with a similar design. Seems to be priced at around $100
Edit: nvm I should’ve let the video play a lil more
Can't wait for you to release the video with the claw and the bomber!
Dude id buy one of these just to go scavenger hunting this looks like a fun time
14:00 a hair scrunchie
18:52 I feel you
the bottle at 13:22 is actually a rabbit/mice/small house pet water'er. we own some as we farm rabbits.
I avoided this for ages because I thought it was just click bait but no. Nice video, legit good.
That last ship you found had the name on it and I think the first bit of writing was the registration number. It wouldn’t be hard to look up what kind of ship it was with that.
Attach a heavy duty magnet on a break away tether line and retrieve stuff in the sediment.
There is a crashed b17 somewhere near the aurora bridge in the fremont area dating back to ww2 like right in the middle of the canal you should definitely check that area out
9:14 bro just found a prawn suit fragment.
7:31 you hope they were just party beads and not solid gold!
You've absolutely gotta do more of this, I'd subscribe just for this
More please, this is awesome
you should put a servo with a claw on the front of the sub so you can pick stuff up that you find
22:56 this looks like a WA ship registration number, but i haven't seen one quite like that. it reads "F08S 54". it could be a letter or the number zero after the F. registration numbers are not public info, so i can't easily look anything up about this ship. if you contacted the sheriff's office there then they could probably confirm its a known wreck
Duuuuude i loved this video. Please don't get bored of it
The chinese military actually use craft that operate extremely similarly but with longer tethers to study the underside of US and allied navy vessels, to photograph things like the propellers and record the sound signature of vessels. Have been doing it at least for 10 years.
They will usually wait outside the harbour for a specific warship to come past that they are interested in. Almost always done when you commission a new ship!
Totally different thing, but have you ever thought about making a rail kart? I reckon that could be a great video idea, and you would do a great job!
There aren't really any good videos about that on youtube in my opinion.
Is that alpine lake at the beginning Lake Twenty Two? It's beautiful up there. It's a pretty weird feeling following youtubers that live in the same area. Been watching since Solar Plane. Love the PNW and your channel Daniel!
More cool stuff down there than I expected. Great video.
Very cool. You should attach a robotic clamping arm to it.
Love these kind of videos
Check out the Panther Happy Hooker. You could use it to tow a line down to large objects and then hook em!
"We don't have dust storms. I wonder where all this underwater dust comes from" 😂 AFTER saying "sediment" multiple times. 🤦🏻♀️😂
Could you set up your whaler to hold position with gps? ;)
09:13 I could be totally wrong, but it kinda looks like maybe it's a cellphone on a selfie stick? The handle would be a telescopic one (it's a bit short there's a button there so I imagine that it's where the hand goes, but it doesn't make sense to have it so short, hence why I suspect it might be telescopic), then then phone itself is partially buried in the mud, the black screen thingy; and on the side of the screen I think that would be one of the braces that hold the phone.
edit: Oh, you figured it out right afterwards, I paused thinking you were just gonna go past it xD
I could watch this forever. Just searching for who knows what? Definitely should get that grabber claw
If you'd remembered your grabber, you'd have so many hats right now.
"The Foss 54 (Official No. 170055) is a large wooden barge built originally in 1908 for the United States Navy in Bremerton, Washington. The length of the 54 (named the No. Y.C. 191 when it was Navy owned) is 110 feet, 30.2 feet wide, and has a depth of 7.8 feet. Its gross tonnage measured at 233.
The barge’s history is shady at best. With it being in service before WWI, it most likely was used to transport coal and other commodities in the outlining areas.
The gigantic barge was subsequently sold off and registered to FOSS Launch and Tug Co. on April 2nd, 1929. It’s home port would be Tacoma, Washington, and it’s new name would be FOSS 54.
Last reports have it listed as a “float” in Seattle. The FOSS 54 was last used on Lake Union, and still is there today 20 feet offshore from Gasworks park in 10-25 feet of water."
Awesome every time its a good vid. i love the boats/subs lately.
