Simon, as a failsafe you could coat the electronics with MG chemicals silicone conformal coating. I use it on my quads and they will fly underwater.

very excite for part two

I love this idea

Simon, For the past three to four years I have volunteered as a Robotics Advisor to a group of very motivated middle schoolers who participate annually in a competition called the SeaPerch Challenge. Our teams, over the course of those years, have taken 1st, 2nd & 3rd place honors in regional competition events and usually 1st and 2nd at the international event. I would suggest that you reference the SeaPerch website to get some ideas/pointers on how the SeaPerch ROVs are constructed. The basic SeaPerch ROV is created from PVC Pipe, however, our teams have done more thinking outside the box and successfully created incredibly lightweight, streamlined ROVs made from 3D printed parts as well as from lightweight aluminum wire for the frame. Like you have learned, moisture control is essential. We have found spray bottles with screw caps make a more adjustable method to get the submersible to become neutrally buoyant. Can't wait to see Part 2 of this series. Thanks for the video!

love ur projects!

I always wondered if this would work, it would definitely be a lot easier and cheaper! Plus if you have the bobber antenna attached to a spring system that retracts the cable as it comes closer to the surface is probably the best way to protect the transmission cable.

Did you change the settings in the Insta 360 to facilitate for the waterproof enclosure? The additional layer of glass affects the way the light bends and this is the reason why the camera didn't record anything. :(

Nicely done. I've had success putting the electronics in a thick abs tube. That way they stay sealed and safe when you go deeper than 1m.

Waiting for the next video :)

You freaking kill me dude. Lol. I love your vids and your commentary. ;)

I feel with you getting this thing waterproof. I had a similar project and it tooked me 2 years to get it watertight. The best option would be to use another case (no 3d printed one or print it with 10 layers vertical and no infill....) You also need a one part rubber seal like a ring and than you have to use that much screws, the seal ist getting pressed in pretty good.

Hi, Bro. Welcome to Underwaters drones team. Waterproofing is main problem for every diy ROV. Use square germetic boxes from ali or plastic pipes. Waiting part 2!!

I like how your drone is Hydro-dynamic

Older, lower frequency, AM/FM radios can penetrate into the water by a few feet. The only drawback is huge antennas. Model submarine builders use the old 72/75mhz. It could be something to explore.

you should use a "Tupperware" style container with snap lid for the body. Also, you could place a large syringe inside that with the nozzle outside of the box. Then a servo can be use to fill the syringe with water making the craft go down. When you want to come up you simply empty the syringe! Genius!

Great stuff Simon. .. love it when you get cross... 😂

On waterproofing: I used to work on a commercial fishing vessel in Alaska for about half my life, so here's a few tips: 1. Sikaflex. It's about $8 a tube, water cures and is massively better than any shower sealant. We use it to repair cracks in fiberglass fish holds that need to seal and handle flexing and bashing around with thousand pound bags of fish. 2. Cables, hoses etc: a simple drilled pass through holes is very hard to seal. instead, you need some form of compression to pack a seal around it. a couple ways: * vertical: drill a tight hole in the sidewall, the cut a rectangle out, bisecting the hole. put sikaflex along the whole length of both parts, put the cable in and compress the whole thing together *or drill the small hole, but relieve the outer end just a little. make a washer or split washer that fits tight to the cable. Overfill the relief with sikaflex, then screw the washer on (compressing the sika tight all around the cable, with more surface than a thin hole would allow) *or make the box shape with a bottom plate as well. cut some gaps for motor wires, then fill with lots of sikaflex on both halves, put the wires in and compress. **final tips on that: clean/make sure the wires are clean before trying to seal. once they are clamped with sikaflex, don't touch it for a day (or you risk the seals). after that, they should be super rugged and resist movement while allowing a small flex. 3. access hatch: gasket it: buy some gasket material, cut to fit and sikaflex 1 side, so it always sticks to 1 side (no chance for contaminants or bulges to form). Also, don't put screws or bolts to the inside where they are prone to slow leak, put them to the outside, of the box/external Paint color: I like the frog green, but dayglow orange seems like a good choice for visibility. Pondering: I wonder how a green lazer pointing forward on it would look from the surface? final thought: enhancement: make a weakly sprung cable spool for the rc lead, so it automatically keeps the cable short.

Have you considered acetone smoothed ABS? That's the most watertight material I ever tried, and keeps 40° hot tub water without leaks. Also you could make designed areas for weight/air outside the electronics bay, so you can adjust with a bit of water if needed. I really like the concept, but attach a fishing line to the floating part just for emergency use when it goes haywire. (We want to see the aftermath.)

Go dual, an outer hull that keeps 99% of the water out, and an inner keeping 99% of the remaining 1% out. Gives you a dryer environment to work with the electronics. Only have to be a few mm between them. Watching this with great interest, you rock. :)

Make a thingy underneath where you can put weights instead of inside.

COOL!!

Really interested in seeing what you end up with as I have been wanting to build one for a while

See you in the next 3 years, Simon. Nice video.

Just found this channel. You're a funny guy. I like it.

Also a good idea to space the power electronics off the floor of the drone so pools of water don't immediately short it out.

I used food plastic body for my submarine. It's easier to seal just a few small wire holes + it can be easily opened. I like your idea with a floating receiver.. Might try it

You may or may not want to consider this, but years ago I built a simple wired underwater drone. Not as much electronics inside since it was wired, but what electronics I did have in it was enclosed in a small case filled with mineral oil (baby oil). It's none conductive, so no shorting things out. Keeps water from getting in and helps with the buoyancy since it's not in an air pocket. It's a bit of a bitch to clean up, but with no air, no worries about water leaking in.
