Time Delay Water Switch

This is an earlier design David created. It is a normally-off switch. The delay is activated as the switch is submerged. Inside the chamber is a large spring compressing two copper contacts seperated by an Alka-Seltzer tablet. One possible application is to turn on the underwater camera lights after the craft has decended below the surface.

Underwater Video camera & Lamp

This was our first design for an underwater video camera and light source. These were used during our first test dive down the well.

First Dive Video

This is a video from our first test dive with our first underwater video camera design. This dive is in a residential fresh water well approximately 30 feet deep.

Pressure Chamber Model

This is the first draft of a design for a new pressure chamber rendered in SketchUp. We have an estimate from a local welding shop to fabricate the main body out of aluminum or stainless steel. The bottom section will be a double bulkhead chamber for connections to the surface cable and to sensors/actuators on the ROV.
