From personal_submersibles at psubs.org Fri Feb 1 09:44:20 2019 From: personal_submersibles at psubs.org (Brian Hughes via Personal_Submersibles) Date: Fri, 1 Feb 2019 14:44:20 +0000 Subject: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Blue Robotics Sonar Message-ID: In the original configuration of Harold, Maynard attached a transducer to the front of the starboard side thruster. I assume he did so as a way to easily shift direction, up to get depth bouncing off surface, spin the thruster down for depth, forward for collision avoidance. Here's the upgrade: 1) transducer always pointed up for a Humminbird HDR 650. Basically a digital depth gauge. Small and accurate. Works well. 2) Raymarine Dragonfly 4 Pro aimed down to give depth below and detailed image of what's under me. Amazing little CHIRP sounder. 3) still debating on what to aim forward. Currently have an Interphase forward scanning sonar, but not real impressed with it. Older technology that works. Sort of.

With your multiple transducers are you displaying on one screen or three? I was looking at the Simrad forward scan & talked about it with a national manager at a boat show, but no one could estimate a depth rating for it nor tell me whether it could shoot through fibreglass if I wanted to put it in an enclosure. They said it could possibly need calibrating for shooting through a hull. Love to know what you come up with for a forward scanning option. Would a cheap short range fish finder do, as you just need to know if there is something up ahead that you might hit. I think most come with alarm settings for depth that would help with collision avoidance.

I think they graphed the tidal heights with it. Also it's important if you are shooting through a hull or putting the transducer in a housing that you don't have any air gaps between the transducer & hull or housing or bubbles in epoxy, as it won't work through air.

The rear thruster assembly includes a segment with external ports for air compensatation and future sensors. My thru hull penatration plates are at the shop having final machining and shoud be ready in a week. With a total of 30 port locatations I have plenty for future connections. I also get to make a few design esthetic changes as the cnc ribs were cut from my 3d model 1 year ago and it did not reflect recent revisions. But thats half the fun of design. Build a mock up and then make refinements. I hope to have the full set of rib stations adjusted and locked into position on the keel stand this weekend so i can start the foam cutting.

A lot of these would be applicable to submarines, but then standard symbols for other items more peculiar to submarines may need to be sourced elsewhere. We could probably produce a pretty good template. I will look at submitting some draft screen layouts for comment, & we could see where we go from there.

Even though they were meant to be very pure (low in aromatics) they were softening plastics when I was using them in motors. With any alternatives, I would be careful that they don't yellow in time. With the powerful LEDs they can put out a lot of heat that probably helps with yellowing & deterioration of plastics. I am using silicone in my motors. I believe that Emile went over to silicone for thrusters a while back.

Built my first hot wire rig and cut the first piece of foam. The hot wire rig built from a recylcled transformer from an old computer and pvc pipe. It works pretty well, but discovered that i need to make a few modificatations to wire connection points, but im happy with how well it works for my first attempt. Placed the first piece of foam i sliced from the 8 ft block, and then cut the shape of the ribs. I'll be taking videos as i go along.

If so, what gauge of nicrome wire are you using?

Attatched to it is a dc dimmer, and a duplex outlet at 12v. My cutting rigs consist of a bow made from 1" pvc with sweeps vs short 90 coupler. I ran an extension chord thru the bow to each end with an internal knot at the exit point. On each end is a eyebolt with an internal nut, washer, wire, washer, and nylock nut. The nicrome wire is pulled taught, and wrapped thru the eye bolt. The bow dimensions is 12 x 40. The power supply provides enough power for the nicrome. It cuts at about 12" per minute. This rate gives a pretty smooth finish. The second rig is a pair of pvc pipes about 16" long. Any shorter without the dimmer, is two hot and cuts to fast. Your arms are the tension, but lots of flexibility. David On Feb 23, 2019 9:45 PM, "T Novak via Personal_Submersibles" > wrote: Hey David, Please show us a photo of your hot wire foam cutting rig.

Built my first hot wire rig and cut the first piece of foam. The hot wire rig built from a recylcled transformer from an old computer and pvc pipe. It works pretty well, but discovered that i need to make a few modificatations to wire connection points, but im happy with how well it works for my first attempt. Placed the first piece of foam i sliced from the 8 ft block, and then cut the shape of the ribs. I'll be taking videos as i go along.
