Advice as scientific diver: those tiny particles on the water are remaining of organic materials, silt and clays that became neutrally buoyant due the cold water density, so you need to dive at a regular speed and avoid stoping and do heavy movements otherwise all that material gonna move rapidly and block your vision, also that materials are highly reflective so you need switch in to an infrared camera but many of them could be visible so the best option is to use a polarized filer on your cameras (they’re charts about many options according the wave length you need to filter), the addition of the 360 camera was a great idea and the flooded cave expedition gonna be absolutely awesome!
I like how the Pilot was very certain and specific in communicating his intent and movements. He sounded a bit angry, but that was only because he was being focused. This is exactly what you need when doing an excursion like this. Well done to all of you.
Small idea to increase the pressure chamber on the sub. Fill it with mineral oil it will prevent the chamber form bending or buckeling allowing it to withstand higher pressures with the same materials.
@@railgapyou can solve bouyancy if you use high pressured air cylinders or other gas like co2 to be released as you go deeper or you come up to balance the buoyancy of the drone. Also you could release that gas to an exhaust valve while you go deep, this allows you to do stationary buoyancy a couple of times but you could go deeper without worrying about the pressure differences for the main body. Exhaust valves closes then you open your inlet valve that release pressure from the cylinders, then when you need to go deep, release the air bubble from the main body. If you have to go up fast, fill the drone with gas. Its easy to implement The problems are the inlet valves, they need to be proportional and can stand the cylinder pressures, since they are high. I'm thinking into air soft cylinders that are made of steel. Dielectric oil is where you put all your stuff and sealed from leaking will be no affected by pressure at all. Electrical conections to external stuff may be a problem, but since you are filling it with dielectric, you only have to extend the cabkes out, you could make the connections inside of the oil filled tank.
@@Nitram4392 Looking at the cable and the size of the drone, at least a partial spooling should fit. I'd say the main difficulty might be to get the rotating passthrough to be waterproof.
~~_installs 360deg camera_ points 180 of it at drone body 😂~~ …. gg guys Edit: I’ve just realised it doesn’t _really_ matter… unless you stick it out on a beam or purtruding from the drone…. And just to be clear, the “gg guys” was sincere!! Can’t wait for deeper cave dives!!
How do you expect them to install it? No matter what orientation they install it, a large portion of its view will be obstructed by either the drone body or the end cap(s) of the airtight tube.
Nice!!! Can't wait for more! I suggest to put 360 camera front and rear for easy viewing instead on top. The pilot should wear the VR goggle so that he can see everything and of course can live view on laptop for others to see unless just use monitor.
Finally. I was wating for 4months. Love your video. I'm pretty sure when I finish school I'll build it. You are like role-model for me cuz you all are doing the thing which u like and love.
Great job guys 👏 The Hranice abyss was already explored 2 years ago by a drone and has reached 450m, making the abyss the deepest in Europe. I also think that you will need to upgrade the design because you're almost going to 3x the depth (or more). Also is your optic fibre (video) cable armored or reinforced in some way? Because friction around materials could damage the cable.
BRAVO !! Just a suggestion, with the next flooded cave's topology, should you had a armored sheath on your optical fiber (keval,carbon fiber) ? to not cut it with rocks. Really great jobs i'm so hype for the next cave !!
I used to work at a sonar company that shares an office with the people who develop the BlueOS software you are using. Sometimes people would send us things they were doing like this but this is seriously cool. I hope to see more like it! Good luck crossing that elusive 400m+ mark :)
Some mollusks have many light sensors all over their body, many lidar or microwave sensors all over could map out the surroundings of the cave like a doctor performing a colonoscopy, seeing all the ridges and bumps along the way.
That cave you mentioned on the end of video is near place I live. It is truth, nobody knows to this day, how bottom looks. In fact, it is not even sure what is depth of the cave. Some people belive there is no bottom.
Congrats on making to the bottom of the shaft (even if a cave it made it shallower than you expected)! Some nice improvements to your system. A couple of thoughts: A common practice across industry is to create and follow a Pre-Dive Checklist, to prevent forgetting things like running the correct camera encoding. Entanglement is commonly a high risk in the sort of environments you're operating in, one potential upgrade is to switch to using ring thrusters, (rim-driven brushless thruster). They'll be more expensive and less convenient to get than the Blue Robotics thrusters you're currently using, but because they don't have a hub, they're far less susceptible to entanglement. They're becoming much more common on industrial ROV and AUV systems for that reason. You can make your own, but that may be more development than you're willing to commit to, unless you start operating in environments with significantly greater entanglement hazards. As you work at greater depths and longer ranges, tether management is going to become more important. The 360° camera is a nice addition but the pressure housing it's in obscures the aft view, you'll want to make sure you have a reliable way to monitor your tether.
Congratulations fellas, I watch your previous attempts. I am a tech diver who has reached 114m diving on RMS Brittainic. I can assure you the divers got nowhere near the 176m blockage. In fact, they most likely never got near 50m deep looking at the kit they had. The line (blue nylon) you saw may have been the guideline they left after their dive (bad practice, you should leave a place as you found it). I look forward to your next video.
Maybe add something like a sonar to the drone for mapping it's position in 3d space. You could even go one step further and reconstruct a model of your environment in real time with a model of the drone in it so you could almost view your drone in something like a third person view. It would also allow you to visually detect points of your environment that could be difficult or dangerous to traverse. Maybe also add a force sensor on the drone that measures the amount of force put on its fibre cable. I could alarm the user if the fibre is stuck for example. This would just be a safety measure for the fibre. Overall congratulations on the current achievement 🎉.
Hey guys love your videos, can't wait until your next. I've bought all the parts plus the course and I'm using the CPS5 as my highschool capstone project. 🥰😁
🎉🎉🎉. Congrats guys. You can’t change a cave in. DIY iron man like 3d printed diving suit. That’s silly 😢. You were the first guys I watched anything on before I bought my first 3-D printer. I look forward to your future adventures.
That was extremely impressive, considering it's a DIY project that successfully went that deep and had that level of control I've never seen the store bought equivalent have that level of control
A thought is to attach a positive buoyancy device on a timer. After a time it wants to float. Won’t overcome fouling wires etc., but might increase chance of recovery.
Oh man, too sad you couldn't reach the bottom of the shaft! Hopefully, you'll have better luck with the cave! It would be awesome if you could build a 3D model using rotating LiDAR or by adding a couple of extra cameras in different sides of your drone!
That's what I was hoping for too, or hopefully in their Abyss exploration - would love to see that data for navigation, or virtual experience on my Quest VR headset :)
What a journey guys!! Can't wait to watch you diving that deep cave!! And as I'm spanish I just want to cheer that guy exploring the cave in Cantabria!

I have a another idea of how to improve or add to the DIY Submarine, by adding a another mini sub with a little camera inside or attached by cable to the DIY sub, you could use it to fit in smaller gaps. I just wanted to see if its possible or a fun video idea!
Well done ! And very good images despite all the things floating in water. Suggestion for another exploration : The "fontaine de Vaucluse" in France. 308 meters deep siphon, soure of a river. Can be reachable in summer without water flow coming from it. Some items visible in the beginning like a boat, maybe other things deeper ?

Fill the cylinder with the electronics with dielectric fluid (Bitcool from Engineered Fluids) with a silicone diaphragm to equalize the internal and external pressure.
Man, from a viewer's perspective, i think it would be a treat if you guys try to explore the deep and dark ocean instead of an abandoned mine shaft, or maybe a deep lake where you can spot something big like giant fish or something, that will be nice, just my opinion though, anyway, i love you videos, keep up the good work guys !
Something that might be a good idea would be a way to see on the dashboard if the motors are slowing down or having some resistance because they have something caught in them. Also "insert pointing meme" 1:52
if you make it a bit smaller you could add some sort of peristaltic bladder on 4 sides with multiple accelerometers and an air supply line. that may make it so that you can more readily get your tool back as it can peristaltically can move in a space it becomes lodged in.
Incredible! A small recomendation to take care of the drone: if im not wrong, you are lowering it with the optical and power wire, right? Maybe is good to use a rope, or a steel wire, and attach the other cables to it with plastic seals (or zip plastic tires, I dont know the correct translation), with less tension. So you can fly the drone under tension on the rope, but not compromising your connections (and also getting sure that you can pull hard and get it back)
Video suggestion: A test-until-failure pressure test on a copy of the drone's pressure vessel. Of couse with slow motion footage. I think the footage would be super interesting, especialy seeing the cavitation bubble oscillating.
Cool! There’s supposed to be a small mail ship a few hundred feet down in a lake I know. It ran aground on a shoal in a storm about a hundred years ago and when they pulled it off it sank. It would be cool to send one of these to see if there’s anything left of it. Going to check out your website.
Hranice was explored by the UX1 Neo down to 450m, I suggest taking a look into their development, they used a LIDAR like technology to map and sensors to avoid obstacles. There's a very narrow passage called mikado filled with tree trunks. I heavily advise you to develop and test measurements taken against entanglement, otherwise it's very likely you'll lose the drone there which could make it significantly harder to do further research there, either by you or other teams. Hranice would be your opus magnum, don't underestimate that. Best of luck
so for the cave id recommend you to 3d print the same guards but that have a shell cover over the cover of the fans pushing down that way it will stop or minimise silt out as instead of pushing the water at the silt on the cave floor you can redirect the water down and back still hopefully achieving the self stabilising but not silting your drone out maybe??

When they found that thier way is blocked they switched to polish to comunicate better xd
Only three attempts and you now have a reliable underwater drone that can dive in tricky conditions. Congratulations.
Small idea to increase the pressure chamber on the sub. Fill it with mineral oil it will prevent the chamber form bending or buckeling allowing it to withstand higher pressures with the same materials.
And now you need to add bouyancy external to the chamber, which slows down your motion... Come on it's only 400 PSI at that depth.
@@railgapyou can solve bouyancy if you use high pressured air cylinders or other gas like co2 to be released as you go deeper or you come up to balance the buoyancy of the drone.

I wonder if having a rear-facing camera that you could switch to to look for tangles would help in the event of a tangle.
Also, having it inline with the body of the sub, not on top of, to reduce size for going through small holes.
That and spooling the cable up inside the drone instead of feeding it from the top side would also help.
The 360 camera could do that, but they lays it flat to the body , and it on became a 180 cameraa
@@clockworkvanhellsing372I suspect, that that would too big/heavy.
