Speed Sensor Anyone???

[Ramius]

Hi guys! Thank you! It all helps and it is wonderful to work with such great minds! Over the years there have been several "challenges". First was how to transmit video from underwater! Most people have use 2.4 Ghz which just happens to be the resonant frequency of water! So when their antenna becomes submerged all they end up doing is "heating" the water. Then there is focusing the transmit power up to the surface and not down to the fish. With a unique antenna design this problem became solved. One picture below shows the transmitter (gold looking box) and the chain is a chain drive to raise and lower the items to make things look real. The periscope goes up, down, and turns seperately. The camera used is called a "snake" camera, high resolution, color, and 1/2" square pointed up the periscope tube. There is drawing of the lenses in the periscope tube and the prism corrects the "mirror" image since on one mirror is being used. There is also a picture of the compass and you may notice the A/D is mounted directly below the compass sensor thus reducing any signal noise. The torpedo pictures give you an idea of their construction and size. The launch tube has an optical sensor so the launch air pressure is shut off once the torpedo leaves the tube. Another picture shows the launch method where the torpedo is pressurized and the top of the launch tube allows air pressure to release the torpedo. Just in case you are wondering, yes, you can have exploding war heads, or you can replace the nose with foam from a foam paint brush soaking in water color. So if you see ducks with small orange circles on their butts you will know it was me! Lol Best, Ed
