    Love the project. Can't wait for version two! Three suggestions:
    1.) Use a sensor to determine if the sub is level and then you can automatically adjust the two boyancy motors. There is a good chance going faster or going against currents will alter your level. This can easily be done with a cheap rc flight controller. It's overkill, but cheap and easy. Someone know of a dedicated sensor?
    2.) Instead of having separate sets of thrusters to rotate and also "slide" left/right, just use one set of four. Engage 2 on one side to "slide" and engage one on each side (front/back) to rotate.
    3.) I love Mr. Gadget's idea of a periscope. However, a traditional one would be very complicated. You already have a floating periscope platform where your receiver is located. Mount a second camera/video-tx with the ability to rotate and you can really take advantage of the long range that your rc set-up allows. Plus you can look around without having to surface. Disguise the whole floating part as a lilly pad and you have a true watery spy craft!

      If he gets an RC flight controller for quadcopters, it could easily be programmed to do both 1 and 2 automatically with the same controls he is using in the video. It can be set to have the left control stick left/right activate the opposite side thrusters, and the right stick left/right can have it turn the rotational pairs go automatically. He is already on 2.4 GHz too, so as an ecosystem it would make sense. I was already coming here to suggest brushless motors/propellers but his associate in the video already suggested it. These extra things don't cost him anything but money as well, since he has so much ballast in there already since it's huge.

If they have such methods, they most probably will about never be allowed to use it when doing their sneaky business.

A careful scan of the surrounding sea is needed before surfacing and they use high frequency tight beams aimed at satellites. The ultra-low frequencies used to transmit to submerged submarines have wavelengths measured in kilometres, so the transmissions come from aircraft trailing cables several kilometres in length as antennae. It is possible to build ground stations close to shore, but they are easy targets because of the huge and fragile antennae so aircraft are used instead.

    @TheZirMc Před 2 lety +170

    The problem with your "competitors" sub may not just be the weight of the tether, also the fact that that he used water to achieve neutral bouancy. He will naturally have slack tanks / free surface effect, causing the weights to shift with every movement. Best option to achieve neutral buoancy is permanent (ie fixed) ballast that does not have room to move. It is possible to achieve this with water, though you need to reverse engineer the weight needed.
    Your idea to work from the center, with the battery pack probably being the heaviest, made it probably have naturally more of a neutral trim, though it seems that after adding the weights you have small trim issue, probably meaning you are just a few grams off in one end as it is floating quite well from the looks of it. Would love to see how it behaved in a bit deeper water though, it seems to be quite decent, though maybe a bit underpowered.

    • @Zappygunshot
      @Zappygunshot Před 2 lety +7

      Another issue with trying to achieve neutral buoyancy before submerging is that the conditions of the water will greatly affect how much needs to be displaced to be considered "neutral". Things like temperature, salinity (salt content), and pressure will limit just how deep that submarine can go and how well it performs. In particular the sub's inability to regulate the pressure of the air inside its ballast tank will make it so either there's a maximum depth to which it can descend; or if it _can_ go deep enough, it'll result in the ambient water pressure being so great it compresses the air inside more and more as it sinks to the sea bed like a rock. The latter would be a somewhat greater issue for DIY Perks' submarine as it relies exclusively on the pressurised ballast tanks for buoyancy where ProjectAir's vessel will be able to counteract somewhat by using the propellers and fins to orient itself vertically and push itself back up.
      Submarines are complicated, yo.

    I really like "unrollling" the servos into the syringe position control. That's great work, every part presented was more clever than the last. You can economize on your thrusters though! You currently have 4 translational and 4 rotation pumps. You should be able to use the transmitter's mixing control so that (for example) the left-right of the throttle stick runs opposite ends in opposing directions and the left-right of the right stick runs them together for translation. That will free up 4 pumps and 2 channels.

    If you want to try a design without a tether you could use a radio operating at a much lower frequency that'll stand more of a chance piercing the water. As you pointed out 2.4GHz just gets absorbed too quickly for any useful depth.
    As a precaution you could have it surface on loss of contact by binding one of the channels to always transmit. When the receiver loses that signal have it surface so you don't lose it ;)

      You had some odd teachers. That’s the easiest way to explain it. Then you throw the Archimedes principle in and you’re basically done. I’ve never heard it explained NOT like this.

    1:20 Most subs actually remain at neutral buoyancy all the time when under water and instead use dive planes to 'fly' the sub underwater. Only going to negative buoyancy for a crash dive and positive for surfacing.

      Yea a maneuverable sub will have planes for control, a more scientific exploration sub will have thrusters that can doe the same thing to maintain station keeping.
      Buoyancy alone and on a small scale is not that stable.
      But yea you do need to get the boyancy rigth, even the biggest subs are "trimmed" as its called for nutrual buoyancy but maneuvers are done with planes or thrusters.
      I think some pods for station keeping should help.
      Also I think one can reduce the pumps by half, no need two have 8 pumps, 4 for pushing it sideways and 4 for rotating it, a mixer could be used to mix the signals to make it do both with only 4 pumps.
      Also that can be reduced to 2 if one uses a prop in a duct instead that can run in reverse.
      Im impressed by the subs but if he wants to improve on it and make it more stable and simple this could be one way to do it.

    if you would make this as a complete diy kit I would absolutely buy it! I had so much fun watching this vid, your design is amazing!
