Deep Sea Lander, ROV and Mini Underwater Cameras
Вставка

- I made a Deep sea lander (yet to test it in the ocean) but it works great in the lakes!
I also finished up the ROV, which I hope to do some exploring with later on.
I also built a mini IP camera for looking around mid water column and a small gopro tidal time lapse box.
Also, I didn't show it here, but I've been playing around with those analog fishing cameras and trail cams quite a bit. My trail cam has been in the woods since Christmas! only seen a few deer and coyote's...
Those lander feet are great for collecting soil samples, too! Plenty of diatoms, nematodes and I think I even found macro fossils! I have only been able to take it down 62ft so far, but I plan on adding a 1ATM chamber and oil compensating that big box so I can get to some serious depths. I want to buy a bunch more tether for it. It ended up taking 10 days from no plan to first test.
The ROV was a fun build! The main chamber is at 1 ATM and all the motors are compensated with mineral oil. The 220V tether is great, its only 500ft long but I really wanted to try that out, the fiber was great too! Tts a bit annoying to deal with, but once you get used to it its not bad at all. That stuff can carry a signal 40km! I'll be making an extruder for the tethers soon, woods hole puts their fiber in the power conductors! Right after I did the first test with the ROV I tore the entire electronics system out and started redoing it to optimize space and increase the cooling capacity. It wasn't an issue yet, but just kinda bothered me. I really want to be able to use the ROV, I built a claw for it and everything!
The Mini IP camera took 2 hours to build, but it worked pretty good until I fried the camera inside (it was an extra one anyway) I plan on beefing it up and doing some hydrostatic tests in the future. It would get wrecked by any currents but in a deep lake(Like Tahoe) it would probably work pretty well.
The Gopro Tidal box worked great! Built it out of scrap in an hour and threw it in the bay once the paint dried! It ended up staying out there for 3 days, than I put it in lakes for a while (the hd lander shots in the video were "fake", actually just the tidal box gopro because the quality was a lot better and the fish were cool)
Here are the codes, note that you may need to install some libraries in Processing and Arduino: www.dropbox.com/sh/n94ekl0nza...
The outrigger and crane for the canoe were just made out of framing lumber and some foam, I build them the morning of the first test, so they worked, but weren't anything close to elegant.
So I think that's about it, I've almost finished my jet boat, all it needs is the steering and throttle cables!

Sweet!
Super cool work!
your videos are so awesome you really have the best builds. I would love to see more!
That is the most amazing thing I've ever seen your channel is so amazing when some people give up those projects but you finish them
Amazing work as usual.
Amazing Man. You have mad skills!
your videos are amazing. I came upon one of your previous videos and your editing and filming skills are amazing. perfect narrating as well!
Awesome stuff man, keep it up!
Great job !!!
I love your videos so much!!! You have given me so many ideas! My cement finally came for my foundry today so now all i have to do is build it!!!!!!!!!!!!
arrowshooter11 Awesome!!!
This channel has a lot of potential
You have the BEST builds on youtubee !!!
That was fabulous!
MrKalvinC Thanks!
Ever since I was little I aspired to be like who you are. I have nothing to say exept good luck! (your helium liquifier is the coolest!)
You are too cool man...
I wish i had half the resources to do the stuff you do :)
You Sir are the definition of a fucking legend, keep up the awesome work and videos ;)
Awesome, best youtuber!
Great job! Do you think you could edit the building of this stuff a little longer? Every time you make something I just want to see more
these videos are like you're playing modded Minecraft in real life. Just constantly running around and building cool shit.
You are amazing!
Why do you only have 7000 subs?.... You deserve way more than that. You create fantastic HQ content!! Keep it building!
MASTER !
i hope you have not stopped making videos i really like them
+paaj ben mijs agternaam vergeten never! i'm in college right now so i haven't had much extra time, but I'll have more soon
Subbed for sure
Best of luck mate! It is easier to travel in space than the deep Ocean!
How about deep oceans in deep space under deep ice?
This is the life I would want if I had disposable income.
mynameismatt2010 I use my disposable income on other things, building is a necessity (for me)
when will you make an episode again? love your vids
POST MOAR! GOD DARM IT!
Finally a new video keep up the good work should get a milling machine hell you will proably make one lol.
***** I know, I really want one
+BenNBuilds over here in california some go for 300 bucks a pop crazy cheap i remember a bridgeport once sold for 1000 bucks with tooling and all the goodies!
***** That's pretty good! I should be able to buy one soon, but right now I'm stuck using the lathe tool post and a drill press. I do have access to a few (at MIT) but its a pretty long drive so I never really use those
You should do a shop tour
WOW!
When are new videos coming ? They are awesome
i dont know how but everytime you upload you blow me away with the stuff you are doing! what kind of job are you doing or are you still in college or something?
dennisbengel11 Thanks!! I'm starting college this year, but I may have something else figured out so I can save some money and continue building
BenNBuilds Don't feel obligated to answer this, but where are you attending and what are you majoring in? I started packing my stuff for college and had to leave the 3D printer and tools behind (never been sadder). I also sympathize with your project budget woes. My thing is rocketry which is decidedly un-cheap.
Love your vids. They make you wanna go and mess about with stuff and be constructive for once :) just thought I would ask if you could do some tutorials on coding which you have used for your projects. As I have an Arduino but don't know how to use it. Thanks. Can't wait for your liquid helium video btw :)
Samuel Aylmore Go for it! I learned to code just by jumping in, I needed to learn it for a project so I just kinda went for it. If you know what you want to do it doesn't take long to figure out how to get it to do that. It just takes a lot of google searches
Ok will do :)
Where did you learn to do all of these skills?!?!?!?!?!!?
Can I ask what education you have? I'm mostly self taught, other than majoring in electronics communications in a tech high school, and working for Lockheed Martin. But you are on another level!
+Winston Zeb I've Just started college, over my last few years of high school I just built stuff during the day.
I really learn a lot better on my own,
I just started as well, I'm at Virgina Tech for manufacturing engineering. May I ask how you fund all of your projects. Because all of my learning endeavors I've had to make money from to have constant money flow to make new things.
+BenNBuilds it so much faster and better this way! I mean there is so many ressources out there, available to everyone who wants to have a (deep) look at it. Congrats anyway, what you're doing is just awsome, most jawdropping channel on youtube in my opinion, please keep going.
damn this is inspirational! is this like a side hobby or a job? how can you afford to do stuff like this??
Are u engineer or something?this is really great
How deep did you go?
Where did you learn all this, like really I want to know how to this?
the internet**
man I want to know where your learn all this x)
Take my money!
Has anyone tried building an underwater camera case filled with mineral oil? The focus would probably change and moving parts would have more resistance, but the electronics would not short, and it mineral oil would compress less than air, so it would have much lower crush depth. You could just make a case with a window and membrane that flexes to match the inside pressure with outside, and viola.
I was looking for an instructable, but I found nothing.
+Jonnyreverb it't be a big mess, also likely ruin the sensor and lens motors. a lot of the parts in lenses are plastic, witch usually deforms past usability well under 1000psi, depending on the type. The stuff used in lenses would be much less
Where the hell do you learn all this stuff?!
NERD!!!!!!!!!!!!! lol, awesome vid!
Are u going to make any more videos
what libraries do i need to install
+Will Verhappen If you look at the first few lines of code you can see the libraries and search them:
import controlP5.*; www.sojamo.de/libraries/controlP5/
import hypermedia.net.*; ubaa.net/shared/processing/udp/index.htm
import processing.serial.*; ...........
import procontroll.*;
import net.java.games.input.*;
It's likely you'll need to make some tweaks to get everything running smoothly
+BenNBuilds cool thanks I am currently working with are ROV team my school. last year was the first year of having the program for the guys in engineering and we did a very simple ROV using just switches to control them this year we have to cut weight and make it smaller. We're pretty much a 100% analog system right now we'd love to go digital and this video has inspired me. we very little standard knowledge of how the Arduino system. i know all the parts we would like to use but was just wounding what you used?
when will you make the next vid
+BenNBuilds what do you do as a job mate ?
+tree991 Still a student, also I build stuff for people. Right now I'm making some turtle tags for NOAA researchers
Thats awesome Mate! Wish i was able to learn some of the skills you know with fabricating, i work in IT know some basic programming but being able to build a whole thing and then program it! awesome as mate keep it up!
can i have the plans please?
New videos?
annnnnnnnd subbed
Hey Bro, is there a way to get in contact with you.....?
+Juan de Roock My Email is pix23mail@Gmail.com (posted on my channel page)
you're pretty smart
Longer videos would be awesome. They currently seem kind of rushed
Upload more plz
are you stil alive i havent seen a video from you in 6 monts
+Jochem van der Meulen Yea, sorry. I'm in college and it takes a Ton of time. This summer I'll be working at Spacex, too but I'll try to make a video before then cause I've certainly been busy. Mostly Ice climbing honestly but I taught this kid for a week (we built 3d printers and fusion reactors!) and worked on a bunch of projects, finished that boat, did some other stuff...
+BenNBuilds Film it! Anything is better than nothing, man. :)
+Henry Rasia yes even film when you go to the bathroom
nooooo why did you stop
Shit I'm proud of my doc motor rov and j saw this :0>
Now this is another thing grant Thompson could never do; make something by himself without copying some book or following wiki how to
Xbox Controller. At least it isn’t Logitech🤣
The camera used is not meant to be under water, it has a very small aperture and lense is not for such light conditions. You need a larger CCD sensor under the lense.
your videos are so awesome you really have the best builds. I would love to see more!
