Battery
Reliable power sources are essential for driving innovation and enabling prolonged operation. We are using customized Samsung 8000mAh 24V 20C Li-Ion Battery Pack. It is a professional-grade battery designed specifically for Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) applications.
With a capacity of 8000mAh and a voltage of 24V, this Li-Po battery pack delivers robust and consistent power to UROV’s, ensuring optimal performance and extended operational durations. Its high discharge rate of 20C (200A) and burst discharge rate of 40C (400A) provide the necessary power output for demanding underwater tasks, such as propulsion, navigation, and sensor operation. Despite its impressive power capabilities, the Samsung 8000mAh Li-Po battery pack maintains a lightweight design, weighing just 1000g. Below are the specifications of the battery:
– Product Type: Li-ion battery pack
– Capacity: 8000mAh
– Voltage: 24V
– Max Continuous Discharge: 20C (200A)
– Max Burst Discharge: 40C (400A)
– Weight: 1000g
– Dimensions: 165* 65.12 *62.18mm
– Discharge Plug: EC5
– Charge Rate: 1-3C Recommended, 5C Max
Under water Thruster
We’ve equipped our Underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle (UROV) with 8 (4 vertical and 4 vectored) Apisqueen U1 Underwater Thrusters. They are compact, powerful, and exceptionally efficient. It uses brushless motor. It is small in size and lightweight (15.84 ounces). It can operate within 12-24v AC current. Overall, eight thrusters are used to control the propulsion system each of which can generate up to 390w or 2kg of thrust. It enables the ROV to accomplish various rotational and flat movements in the water.
Pixhawk V2.4.8
The Pixhawk is an expansion board that plugs into the Raspberry Pi 4 and turns it into a fully featured flight controller, ready to power ROVs. At its core, the Navigator is a collection of inputs and outputs. It has inputs from onboard sensors, outputs to servos or speed controllers, and expansions ports that can be connected to external devices.
