I worked with one ROV when I was a professionnal diver. The ROV was slightly positive and a motor on top would make it go down or boyant (or neutral). If the ROV failed and was out of electricity ,it would come up to the surface because of its positive boyancy. It worked very well .
kzhead.info/sun/hNqRXcmjoombY3A/bejne.html
Interesting. I guess the downside to that would be decreased battery lifespan, but that's probably better than loosing the ROV because it sunk to the bottom of a lake, heh
@@ianr2002 The current came from the surface. No batteries in the ROV :)
@@Hitycooking How is this in any way relevant?
@@PunakiviAddikti Report spam, idiots desperate for views that don't realize that aggressive marketing like spamming only makes people want to NOT view anything from them.
Hey Peter, I noticed some flickering in the video feed when you were toggling the controller switches. That is probably due to the way you wired the signals to the relays. The ethernet cable has 4 differential pairs. Because the video ground isn't isolated there is crosstalk that will increase with the cable length when ever the switch state changes. This is due to an induced magnetic field along the wire from the current to switch the relay. There will be a voltage spike in nearby wires. If the wire gets long enough the voltage spike may damage the video camera or display circuit. A better circuit that would take advantage of the differential pairs and isolate the video lines is possible. It is still analogue and cheap. You need double pole double throw switches and four diodes per relay. Each switch uses a coupled wire pair in the ethernet cable, leaving one pair for the video. If you are interested I can figure out how to send you a schematic.
Motor options , its a base 3 number, 3x3x3 ,27 so in binary + or - it can be achived with 5 bits . I could see there was a solution but havent formulated the diode logic, is there a 5 bit solution I wonder with diodes and switches. No rely allowed.
Learn how/why UTP was designed. Each color pair has a different twist ratio to other pairs. Twist puts noise 180° out of phase thus nulling/negating said "noise"... *exactly* why UTP was designed!!! That being said, if the system is designed correctly, the control cable will *only* be low voltage controlling the relays within the sub. It appears that the video *flicker/jitter* is "back emf" when motor direction is switched. This most likely can be remedied with a variety of simple ferrite chokes and capacitors across the terminals of the motor to eliminate the voltage interference.
@@beautifulsmall Each relay needs three states, off, forward, reverse. The relays have three pins, a common ground, and a pin to energize each state. The trick is in the DPDT switches which can be wired directly to a battery in such a way that they send three states on two wires, off, powered, and inverted powered. (a) +vss ------ [ ] [ ] ------ (d) - gnd (b) s left ----- [ ] [ ] ------ (e) s right (c) - gnd ----- [ ] [ ] ------ (f) + vss In the center position, pins (b) and (e) are unconnected. In the up position, pin (b) is connected to +vss while pin (e) is connected to -gnd. In the down position, pin (b) is connected to -gnd while pin (e) is connected to +vss. With this setup you can send a Tri-state signal over two wires with a single switch. The next trick is decoding the Tri-state signal back to two common ground pins for the relay which is where the diodes come in. The common ground of the relay is connected to (b) and (e) at the other end of the ethernet cable through two diodes like: (b)--------------(e) Then the forward pin of the relay gets a single diode. (b)-------|>--------(forward) Same for reverse (e)-------|>--------(reverse) Put that circuit into LT-Spice and it decodes the tri-state signal nicely. I don't know if the relay coils have flyback diodes built in but those are also necessary whenever a coil is de-energized it wants to stay on due to the magnetic field and will cause voltage spikes when turned off. The flyback diode "eats" the reverse current when the coil is de-energized and otherwise does not interfere with normal operation.
@@fookingsog In his schematic @2:04 the motors are isolated from the ethernet cable and video by the relays, they have their own power circuit and battery. The back EMF would not be present in the cable.
probably just needs some 1uF snubber caps on the switches and if those relays are induction and not SSRs some flyback diodes on there and that would kill the video interference.

Cmon man. It’s Florida what do you expect lol
I made a similar ROV about 5 years ago using regular RC airplane parts. You can use a flight controller for stabilized autonomous operation, SBUS, etc. I used a modified scuba regulator, one of those small spare air tanks, and a pressure relief valve to make an automatic pressurization system which enabled the ROV to go 329 feet deep without any problems. The possibilities are endless. The one drawback is that you will need a thin antenna wire attached to the ROV with a small surface float and antenna so that it can use GPS for autonomous navigation, video, and PWM/SBUS signals. What is really cool is that one can send regular radio signals for a short distance underwater, allowing you to use a camera without penetrating the hull of the ROV with the camera wire. This only works for a very short distance. If you want longer distances, you have to use low frequencies which will immediately draw the attention of Federal authorities which strictly control such frequencies for military submarines. You can fly underwater with an ROV just as you can fly in the air with a quad or plane. In fact, it is actually better because there are few if any restrictions so far. But, I have to caution everyone that the government is aware of just how dangerous such technology can be in the wrong hands.
Hello
This did better than the ocean gate submarine💀💀💀
I lost my favorite leatherman kayaking in my local lake over the summer. I was toying around with the idea of building one of these to recover it. Now I have no excuse not to! Great video, thanks!

@@elliotsmith102 hello
This will help so many people who suffer from chronic boating accidents!👀 Thanks Peter! PS, I dig the rctestflight-ish shanty
Boating accidents, those are the worst 🙃
I’ve lost a lot in boating accidents… I would really prefer if he didn’t find them it would really just waste his time…
@@uzeahos oh really! Sorry about that
Shout outs from Thailand - researching Underwater ROVS is one of the things that helped my beat my 2010 doldrums (and by doldrums I mean mid life crisis depression, natch) - and got me into electronics and robot stuff after years of VFX, aka CPUs and Computer screens. Always love your approach and your ability to take massive amounts of planned chaos and send it home. Thanks for this reminder - reminds me of some foundational times, and finding new passions. Cheers, man - keep it up
This is so cool! It might be practical for someone trying to build a dive rig on a budget, supercool and I’m impressed with how seemingly well it went.
Next idea: build a human sized version from PVC for as cheap as possible.
This is a bad idea, schedule 40 PVC is fine for smaller projects but for the sizes needed to stuff a human inside you’d get flexing and buckling pretty quickly on.
Was thinking the same thing how long until he has his own sub has a plane and drone and motor glider all Peron sized I dare say that this is research for the future project
@@johnbeauvais3159 Yeah, similar physics with pop bottles, a 2-liter soda bottle with its thin plastic walls will hold about 195 psi, but if you upscale it to larger sizes it won't hold it any longer due to pressure vessel physics equation being relative to the radius (can be thought of as shear stress in wall on two sides equal to the center volume of air forcing and trying to rip them from pressureXarea). Even without buckling effects (which does make it worse), its indeed going to scale poorly due to several physics effects like the one you mentioned on top of pressure vessel physics.
@@jakegarrett8109 yeah but it would still be cool to see how he does it, there’s home made coke subs out there that are so fucking cool
Giving I did a thing ideas
That SigP365 is one of the best EDCs in my opinion.
works better if it has a barrel and recoil spring in it
How's it compare to the Ruger max 9?
@@henryjoseph3584 about $100 more
Plus, this looks like the variant that uses the longer grip module from the XL. I like my Sig P365 for pocket carry (in a pocket holster) but my EDC is a Glock 43x.. it just fits better
I thought he mispronounced and meant to say Sig 357!
A tether is pretty much always required to pilot these ROVs. Something interesting to try would be to use a buoy with antenna and a tether cable going down. That way it would be half-wireless.
You should see if you can get this bad boy down to the Titanic... you can charge over $250,000 per ticket. (Now that there is less competition.)
Noice But fr the fact that you can make effective DIY RC machines by yourself in your garage amazes me. Keep up the great videos Peter!

@@hippopotamus86 yeah, that was cool Saw it also

This must be where OceanGate got their design ideas
kinda reminds me of something
same dude same...
Would the visibility improve if the flashlights are more at an angle, thus they don't hit the particles directly in front of the sub?
Might also improve if they were infra red (longer wave length) our at least the camera was.
kzhead.info/sun/hNqRXcmjoombY3A/bejne.html
This is good inspiration for a project I've had marinating in my brain for a couple years now. The original plan was to build a sort of bathysphere out of steel pipe, just containing power and whatever electronics were required for lights, sensors, video, etc. It wouldn't be controllable, obviously, but since my interest is just having a look at lake bottoms or maybe the seafloor, it wouldn't really need to be, and it'd be cheap. The Ethernet cable is a great idea, since I hadn't figured out how to get live video from the thing. And the PVC's a lot cheaper than iron pipe. If I fill it with mineral oil and evacuate all the air bubbles, theoretically, I should be able to go to almost unlimited depth. It remains to be seen if my attention span will stay in one place long enough to actually get it done, though...
Wont the pressure just force the oil back up at a certain depth ?
@@123qwe321ify eventually probably, but as long as the seal is stronger than the hull it’ll go pretty deep, since the hull won’t be able to buckle with incompressible fluid inside. Even a watertight hull filled with air can buckle before the seals pop, which compromises the hull strength and can lead to leaks at a much lower depth
it looks like the titan sub💀
Great Build. There seems to be a rush on RC Submarines right now. I love it. Could you add a more complex build video how to use the Cat5e cable for everything?
Love the ROV shanty :) Awesome build, simple and cheap but effective!

The "butt plug" is the genius bit. I've always struggled to understand how to waterproof batteries and this has given me loads of ideas. I just need to find where I can buy a plug from.
It’s in the plumbing section of Lowe’s or Home Depot, I never knew they were a thing either! It’s a pressure testing plug
This is the third DIY submarine video I’ve seen today, but it’s easily the best. Not only is it the most practical cost wise, it’s also the most functional.

I am here after Titan submarine (Ocean Gate) missed.
Fantastic utilization of the ethernet wire with your submarine. If you were to improve on this, I would suggest looking into using a serial pin connector, which contains 9 pins. This would allow you to send 12V to the camera without having the need to attach a secondary battery onto the submarine.
A simple voltage regulator would work too...can be purchased pre-made. I bought some adjustable ones online for less than $7 each.
@@fookingsog I usually use some that are around $1 each. For anyone else reading they are conveniently named "buck converters" (although not named for their price, its referring to boost/buck voltage changes), and for around $1.50 I try to keep combination boost/buck converters so they can power any output voltage from any input voltage for typical ranges I use. FPV cams barely pull anything, so yeah that's the way to do it, also simplifies wiring.
Hello
This is awesome! I *love* the design - a really good, sturdy box shape! Makes it *so easy* to mount everything on. Easy to see why the undersea documentaries that you see all use similar-looking craft to this. Keep up the great work!
I love the little analog submarine. The camera feels like one of those analog horror games tbh
You should send one to the guys at Adventures with Purpose, could do some real good !
That's awesome young man. I had a submarine in 1970 for Christmas. I had a handle with two twist handles. The batteries were contained there also. The sub was controlled by two air fish tank style hoses. The air was pumped by the handle. The sub world move by the pumped air. I've been diving since 1971. I've been certified since 1980. My cottage was at Home Bay for 50 years. I would run my sub of the dock. I dreamed about having a camera on it. I was 50 years too early. I made an Ohio class model that launched rockets. I'm also a rocket guy. Made about 300 of them along with airplanes , cars but my Ohio class SSBN launching homemade rockets in about 1985 was awesome. But my first sub running on pumped air was the coolest! I like your rig but you should be in the water with it. You should be diving with it. Nice boat. The Great lakes are so much better . I live in the heart of the Great lakes. The joke here for dumb people is " which way to the beach? " any direction you go.
We had a program in middle school that was exactly this. It was a ROV championship between the schools in town. It was honestly really cool
Does this implode?
Peter can make anything it seems! I can't even make up my mind. 🙃
I think the OceanGate team used this video for inspiration…

that shanty was the best part, keep it coming
Incorporating a pair of cheap microcontrollers (there are plenty of arduino knockoffs for less than $10) would make it significantly better with few changes: - Microcontroller at the control box to monitor the button presses - Button presses are converted to a single byte by the microcontroller, with each bit representing on/off for one of the motors - Single byte is sent down the ethernet cable using a single pair of wires and a protocol like RS485 (you may need some RS232RS485 converter chips, they're a few cents) at a rate of ~50-100hz - Byte is received by microcontroller onboard the sub, at which point that microcontroller interprets it and toggles the motor relays accordingly This means you only need two wires in the tether for your motor control, and if your camera is just a ground and a data line (remember, RS485 is a differential pair so you have no ground from it), you could drop from an ethernet cable to a 4 conductor phone cable, making your tether lighter and cheaper. You'd also greatly reduce the camera flickering when you toggle the relays.
Video flicker was caused by voltage induced pull-down when switching motors.
Better than Seagate sub 😂

*Not to be used to dive to the titanic*
Why it's not controlled by Logitech game controller ?)
Very cool, Would be great to see Episode 2 on this.
I'm using boat bilge pumps as my directional thrusters or for station keeping when not moving and actual oil filled trolling motors for the main thruster . Mine uses 8" pvc pipe and connectors for the main floats. They will also house the on board batteries near the bottom for ballast to keep it upright. I grabbed one of those underwater fish cameras for the video feed. The tricky part was the underwater lighting for bad water or at night.

Couple this with side-scan sonar to find targets and this would be pretty neat to explore areas. You could run the side-scan either from your boat OR figure out a way to mount it into the sub. Also a downward facing fish eye lens camera would be handy for scanning the bottom. Maybe on some sort of gimbal for a co-pilot to operate.
I've been wanting to build a sub for treasure recovery too! I like your design, might have to steal that and your solar boat idea too
