Stingray FPV Drone Update: Now that all the underwater thrusters are hooked up to the electronic speed controllers, I’m programming my transmitter controls. The next step for me will be to build a test fixture with a tank of water to calculate the combined thrust output underwater as well as the current draw for battery life calculations.

How many ampere of ESC do you recommend for 16800 rpm 3-blade propeller with an operating voltage of 6-9 volts? Ps. I'm just a student making a device in lined with underwater drone, limited knowledge when it comes to this. Thank you!

@gordon6029 3 года назад

Make the antenna look like a duck. Total stealth haha.

@spokehedz 3 года назад

I see the gaps between the blades of the props and the housing are very large, and on air drones they are very close. Has flow simulation been done to find the 'best' gap? That's interesting. I know that a closer gap on the air ones is better for overall use, but the much higher density/viscosity/reosity (I can never remember which one it is) would change it... Interesting. Oh, I suppose that in air you won't get a stick/seaweed in your prop either. Ahh, the gap might have more than one function!

These thrusters claim full waterproof even in seawater but they are quite expensive, $146 cdn each, plus shipping. I know from experience that the average brushless motor will not hold up even in fresh water. The bearings get rusty and fail. In salt water forget it. Bilge pump motors seem a better budget choice. Take off pump and install props.

@ProtoG42 10 месяцев назад

They not average brushless motors. They are sealed with a potting compound and do work in salt and freshwater. It cost me $50 USD and 1 day shipping. 🫡🇺🇸

Check out the work of / do a collab with "Ascend RC" They made a great submarine, and adding this thruster to it could be neat!

Nice gasket. I am sure you going to seal that thing well. But have you thought of using a conformal coating on the electronics just in case? I have used MG Chemicals - 422C-55MLCA 422C Silicone on some ESC's because it has that flexibility when parts heat up. Just a random thought. Cant wait to see this one completed and running.

@ProtoG42 3 года назад

Yes! I planned on on using large clear heatshrink tubing I have for the escs and then sealing the ends with e6000 or rtv but I may take the camera apart and use a conformal coating on that board just in case.

@Ender_Wiggin 3 года назад

I have used that conformal coating great stuff. Not fully water proof but great for swarf

@laudo6503 Год назад

Hello, I have a concern because I am Trying to build an automated underwater drone. So, naturally, the first part consists of making a drone. when using the left joystick, the vertical axis controls the speed of the motors? if so, how? and how does it steer? does the leftmost position of the joystick make only the right proproller work while the left stops, in order to turn right? I apologize if my question was not as clear as it could have been and any clarification would go a long way thank you

@shaynemware 3 года назад

I have the same motors was wondering which color is for which letter I have black red yellow and ECS is marked A B C not sure of the connection maybe red to A black to B and yellow to C?

@mr.mister7489 2 года назад

Hi. If im only making 2 brusless truster for a kayak ( no remote needed manual driven) what parts i need to buy. Thanks.

@wendyllsalavaria143 2 года назад

Hi sir do you have a full video about your underwater thurster? I want a tutorial about that. I want to copy your project step by step. Coz it will help a lot tnx 🙂

@DIYwithBatteries 3 года назад

Wow big stuff dude really big stuff I'm so curious... 👍

@Ender_Wiggin 3 года назад

Not sure how i missed this video but ya the gasket is a great idea. I love when you are able to use highly optimized products from one industry for other more creative applications. Water seal tends to be the hardest thing with these ROVs. Also, water sealing for the cable is a bitch. Water likes to travel down inside the cable if you don't seal the ends well enough.

@VojvodinaNet 3 года назад

This is something I wanted to test, ducted propellers. I expect performance gain.

@spokehedz 3 года назад

I love the idea of a little floating (but obviously waterproof) radio pod bobbing away on the surface.

@mr.mister7489 2 года назад

I planning to buy 2 of this underwater motor and install it under ( fins) my inflatable kayak. Do you think its good enough to move the kayak with a weight of 150 lbs? Can i use a regular 12v car battery with on of switch? Thanks...

@MattiaMastroianni 8 месяцев назад

Curious did this work?

@hooniiic 7 месяцев назад

❤❤❤대단해요

@oculusori 2 года назад

Hi. I want to mount 2 of this thruster on my kayak. Does this work with a 12V 100A/h lifepo4 battery?

@jimnewton2183 10 месяцев назад

yes.

@RealSpaceHorizon 3 года назад

Seems great, good luck with the drone.

@iteerrex8166 3 года назад

Very cool! Are you gona have extra batteries in the flotation device for the drone, or is it gona be just for communication.

@ProtoG42 3 года назад

Yes, there will be a battery there for the receiver and video transmitter.

@iteerrex8166 3 года назад

@@ProtoG42 I know there has to be one for the transceiver. I was wondering about some extra power for the drone, transmitted through the tether. May at a later stage if needed.

@van-nhantran1915 2 года назад

Hi. Nice work. Do you have any update on the build of the drone?

@ProtoG42 2 года назад

Thank you. I got a new job, moved my lab and I’ve been working a lot more lately. Hopefully I can get back to it but I’m not sure when I’ll be able to.

@maximillianpearce8184 3 года назад

Why no motors for rolling the the drone?

@ProtoG42 3 года назад

Rolling isn’t necessary as the wings and buoyancy will stabilize the path underwater. There are a few other examples out there of underwater drones with only three motors like this. I would like to design a larger version with more motors one day.

@maximillianpearce8184 3 года назад

Hope we get to see it in action soon then.
