Rutgers University, experts from New Jersey on the US Navy's request to develop a "quadrocopter" that can move through the air and under water. The prototype was called Naviator original algorithm of the propellers. Recent grouped by location, they are divided into upper and lower. Once the sensor sends a signal to the control electronics in contact with the surface of the water, the upper propellers turned off and tighten the lower unit under water. This affects the battery life: If the unit is only suitable for hours of continuous flight, then swim under water, it could the whole day.
The main problem remains the provision due to the water absorbed in the machine. Now the prototype is equipped with a cable and the use of radio even at a depth of several meters is problematic. Developers are considering the option of using ultrasound for exchanging signals with the device, but ideally they would like to teach him to work autonomously under water, according to a previously laid down program. This device can be used not only military, but also institutions serving subsea infrastructure . Related Products :
