That is a very hard question to answer. This glider only uses the batteries to operate a buoyancy pump, and all the forward motion comes from the wings as the glider repetitively sinks and floats. You will get more forward motion if you let the glider sink farther down into the ocean, which creates an inverted effect. The less often you operate the buoyancy pump, the further you will go on the electrical power used to operate the pump. Obviously there is a pressure limit at which the hull will burst (the vessel is filled with air) but the point is we have a radically different propulsion system that cannot be compared to boats with propellors. A propellor based system uses the motors to accelerate water, a notoriously viscous and lossy medium. Locomotion with propellors is costly 100% of the time during operation, there is no intermittent property and there is no free forward thrust. The short answer to your question is that there is no way to calculate the ratio you were asking for, but in practice, the glider will go orders of magnitude further on the same battery charge. That is like asking “if you used a battery to inflate a helium balloon vs if you used the same battery to power a drone, which vehicle would travel further?” The answer is qualitatively clear but calculating it is not fun because the propulsion mechanism is incompatible
when the glider touches down at the bottom, it will go back up and send a data signal which heads towards a command center like a space station or a satellite.
Interesting. I proposed this form of propulsion, buoyancy pump and gliding, to our church kids club as a 'nutty' invention about five years ago. And now here it is, working and fulfilling a useful purpose. Sorry kids, not so 'nutty'. Now, how about my other proposals?
The buoyancy pump propulsion is what I'd call a great leap in engineering. I do wish, however, that environmental scientists would get a clue about the climate before babbling about "climate change".
This is amazing!! I would love to see more on this subject.
How much more distance can a glider sail than a boat of the same weight on the same battery charge?

How do they send data? Is there a worldwide ISP?
when the glider touches down at the bottom, it will go back up and send a data signal which heads towards a command center like a space station or a satellite.
Do they transmit data "in real time" or thrice daily?
Good morning thank you for all you do beautiful is you,and thank you for your greatness. Have a great day. Goodnight
love your work.. need any labours/ workers.. i would love to work on the sea/ ocean without having to kill fish.
I wonder if Great Whites will take test bites out of these?
Pardon my ignorance but isn't this a working perpetual motion machine?
no, you need energy to move the water in and out of the glider.
Abin berita tentang ini drone langsung kesini gw
uhhhhhmmmm fishing nets
drone peneliti dibilang drone cina hahaha
Meneliti laut Indonesia
Gua kesini gara gara bapak nelayan, memang indo jauh ketinggalan ama teknologi beginian nemu bangke drone aja langsung berpikiran.negatif😂😂😂😂
Seperguruan kita,pikiran negatif ternyata.
Padahal udah 7 tahun yg lalu
Buktinya bukan dr china apa ya?
Okma

My Monitor Drone is way better designed for deep sea missions. For Military applications only
DRONE CHINA MASUK INDONESIA ???? CEK SPERTI APA DRONE ITU

You don't think the climate is changing? Especially important is the ocean climate.
Anyway I didn't notice them babbling on and I usually do.
