Pressure Chamber


Further progress with the pressure chamber now with the bottom ring/plate installed plus the cable/connector bulkhead section seen at the bottom of the assembly. I'm on a search now for sealed connectors for the interior wall and through hull cable seals for the outside surface of the cable bulkhead. This space will also support pressure and temperature sensors.
I'm working to adapt the original ROV frame to host this unit (12"x6" electronics + 3"x6" for the bulkhead). I'm also adding a more powerful down propulsion motor design (two motors pushing up on either side of the pressure chamber and one more powerful motor pulling down directly beneath the chamber).
