I remember seeing one back in 1974. It was sitting on the pier next to the ship prior to deployment. Looked like a fiberglass turtle. Amazing machines these are. Always wanted to build one. Back then I couldn't afford to.
Knowing my luck first 20 seconds i drop this drone in the water my propeller will cut the wire and the drone will just sink to the bottom and I call it a day
After researching all these underwater drones the best on for your money is the Gladius underwater drone then the PowerRay. Wouldn't waste my money on they other 3 even at a 10th of the listed price.
How comes, the OpenROV Trident isn't mentioned ? That's at least a project, that is nearly about to ship and already 2nd generation, while most of these seem unproven new starters.
Remotely Operated Vehicle - not Submersible Underwater Drone. ROVs have been used in oil and gas industry for well over 20 years, inspecting and surveying oil platform structures as well as the pipelines that carry the oil to shore.
I did and it looks nice but I don’t fish so none of the fancy fish finding things matter to me. I do boat inspections and searches for items dropped in the marina. 10 years Dive Master and 40 as electronics tech so my expectations are unreasonable.
It is possible to make a system where the drone will resurface if no signals are received, by dropping the ballast weights. You could expand on this concept by making this system a mechanical piece, perhaps a spring loaded timer, that is periodically reset by the computer. If the line is cut or the on-board battery runs out, the timer will run out and actuate the weight release mechanism.
@@davidbergaragonzalez5653 - Theoretically, yes. Realistically, no. Commercially we use fixed weights to ballast a ROV either positively buoyant (climbs unassisted) neutral (stays at its current depth) or negatively buoyant (sinks - slowly). If we need large weights lifted, we use variable buoyancy (but with a fail-safe to dump the excess air, unless we are working inside a platform jacket). Workclass ROVs are expensive - easily £1 million plus for a bare ROV. With a host of sensors fitted - this can easily exceed £2m. Even smaller 'Eyeball' ROV systems are expensive. Saab Seaeye Cougar for example costs upwards of £250 000 for the ROV alone. Therefore they are insured. The insurance companies give us procedures to work to. This is backed up by good practices and rules by I.M.C.A. - International Maritime Contractors Association. This includes making the ROV negatively buoyant the majority of the time, so that it sinks. Why? Two fold. Primarily - If the ROV has been maintained correctly, then fully charged transponder and responder location beacons will be fitted to the ROV. This allows us to fix the ROV's location on the seabed for retrieval at a later date, more than likely by another ROV. Secondly - If the ROV is working from a vessel (as most commercially do), if the ROV is positively buoyant and the tether has parted - for whatever reason - or if the ROV is dead due to a major electrical fault - there is a real risk of the ROV floating into the host vessel's thrusters. If you know anything about surface vessel Dynamic Positioning D.P. - and how close these ROV support vessels get to oil platforms, well it doesn't take Einstein to work out the dangers of the ship losing positional control and colliding with an oil platform. If we have to make a ROV positively buoyant (very powdery seabed that reduces visibility for example) - we need permission from our head office - who then seek approval from the insurers. We then have to risk assess the hell out of the work procedure to ensure everything is safe. One other reason to make an ROV positively buoyant is if we are working in waters beyond the ROV's depth rating (I can't think of any reason to do so, there is nothing to survey or inspect at a midwater depth of 7000m). If we lose an ROV where it can not be rescued by another ROV, then we would ballast the ROV to climb, albiet slowly, using the ROV's locator beacons to monitor its position relative to the host ship, or any other ships nearby, All projects are different, as are subsea conditions. Part of my job is finding out the local conditions and setting up the ROV so that it can operate efficiently and safely, with no risk to personnel, equipment and wildlife.
Which you say "The cord" is a umbilical cable for underwater ROV or drone . Most ROVs require a cable to transfer the mechanical loads, power, and communications to and from the vehicle. Remotely operated underwater vehicle (ROV) is a tethered underwater mobile device. The load-carrying umbilical cable is used along with a tether management system (TMS). The umbilical cable is an armored cable that contains a group of electrical conductors and fiber optics that carry electric power, video, and data signals between the operator and the TMS. So, if the cable is broken than its not working.
Kind of funny that they tout them as fishing aids, and I didn't see a single fish I'd want to eat. But to stock an aquarium... a really big aquarium... sure.
It's downside is when the cable from the transmitter to the underwater drone gets tangled or stucked thru corals/water lilies/ tree branches etc. under the water.
I think it's for the same reason we don't call others drones "planes" or "helicopters" : there is nobody inside. So as a plane without a pilot, those are submarines without a pilot. I think so
ZedlOptima - Sorry, but it's just an ROV. I've been working with them for 11 years now - Saab Seaeye systems as well as workclass. Calling an ROV and underwater ROV is like calling Phantom 4 an Air Drone. Der Bleifuss - ROVs also use ballast systems (variable buoyancy on workclass systems), as well as adding and subtracting weights to make the 'sub' positively, neutrally or negatively buoyant.
are radio waves not work underwater? Why are they all wired? Feels like these wires will easily get stuck on some coral or sea weed and then have fun recovering it without scuba gear...
Underwater ROVs and Drone,s are linked to a host ship by a neutrally buoyant tether or a load-carrying umbilical cable is used along with a tether management system (TMS). The TMS is either a garage-like device which contains the ROV during lowering through the splash zone or, on larger work-class ROVs, a separate assembly mounted on top of the ROV. The purpose of the TMS is to lengthen and shorten the tether so the effect of cable drag where there are underwater currents is minimized. The umbilical cable is an armored cable that contains a group of electrical conductors and fiber optics that carry electric power, video, and data signals between the operator and the TMS. Where used, the TMS relays the signals and power for the ROV down the tether cable. Once at the ROV, the power is distributed between the electrical components.
@@silverfox5089 Water conducts electricity, so it attenuates radio waves. Besides, you want a cord to retrieve your $2000+ equipment when something goes wrong, like a power failure.
Wow! the gladius uses aluminium oxidation treatment to ensure waterproof...You mean you have anodised the aluminium...That and the cheesy low cost rendering into videos would put me of straight away.
What's with the addiction to smartphones/tablets. I would think a dedicated controller/viewscreen would be much better. That's the way the big boys roll.
unless you have a cable capable of going deeper than than the empire state building in depth then the ocean will still be very much unexplored lol. None of these drones are shown going very deep.
@@LieorDie24 We have cables that expand across the globe so cable length isn't an issue. ROV's shown in the video are the lowest of the low. They would be considered toys. Work class ROVs are the larger, multi-million dollar systems that easily carry 10,000m (Meters) of tether (cable). source: professional in the industry...
Thumbnail is misleading. I was interested in the green one just to waste 13 minutes and not actually see what I was looking for. Keep your stuff relevant and not misleading. Plus can't compare something that's not even out.
Dear Sir, This thumbnail I used in this video it is 'Aquabotix' underwater ROV,s photo. It is no 2 in this video and its features start on 7.07 min. You can see that. Please try to understand Sir.
They lied about the forst toy!!! They sad that it travels 2m/sec that is =7200km/h ro 4473mph Well that would ve inpresive for a military jet in the air but a underwater toy would disintegrate at that speed... Does someone guarantee that it can go 100m underwater cause im not shure about that eather considerong it being made from plastic. If there is a guaranty that and sell it in america they will be borke soon the judge can arange for that if they stick to those statments misleading the public...

You know there is something wrong with these videos when they show you the same exact footage from 2 different drones videos
Wow!
These things are SO cool!
I like seeing drones of all kinds in action!

Cool, good job👍
So how does it work in a strong current?
Hey CCROV, why not a 360 cam setup? Your teams approach looks like a great platform for 6 cameras.
Hi! Thanks for the review. But would you like to try FIFISH P3? I heard that it has very good specs.
Yes, Fifish is a very good fishing drone
Credibility shot for #5 & #3 both using the same footage.
Waaw, is amazing

Why did we sundenly start to call RC submarine drones???

The English language changes all the time.
TheJonasz27, these days anything that doesn’t have a heartbeat & moves without a person physically touching it, is a drone.
I liked the first one the best. Second had good ideas. Have to build my own I guess.
Can you check the last one ?
I did and it looks nice but I don’t fish so none of the fancy fish finding things matter to me. I do boat inspections and searches for items dropped in the marina. 10 years Dive Master and 40 as electronics tech so my expectations are unreasonable.
Did you build yet?
You guys rock.!!
Same videos? Nice testing!

How do I get the fathom underwater drone
Please send me a link to a summer I can get underwater drone for my children to have fun with
Everybody wants money for nothing. These days, selling an actual product is old-fashioned integrity.

hola excelente video me gustaria que permanezcan haciendo este contenido!!! Voy a continuar mirando sus creaciones. Les envio un abrazo chau ❤️👍🏽
Thx for this interesting video !
can any of these handle the strong current of a river??
If something breaks the line, can the drone float and be retrieved?
Depends if you have made the ROV negatively or positively buoyant - by adding or subtracting weights.

The commercial drone's weaknesses is not exploring water, so these might be mainstream soon.
Nice stuff just wish you had links for the sites
I think a lot of these drones are still in development and you cant get them yet.
can't you provide any link at the least

You know in Finland the waters are green and all you can find is pike, so it's kind of useless here!
Now make one you can go thousands of feet down with and has super bright lights that'll surely help with ocean exploration.

Hi sweet channel ☺ Keep it up!
Thanks friend

Underwater drone or ROV need a cable for better performence

Generally submarine can carry man

Besides, submarines dive using ballast systems and not just vertical thrusters.
