Homebuilt ROVs Forum

This is impressive. I am diving in the North Atlantic, 150 ft. max. I have built the ROV frame. Can you make any recommendations for building thrusters? Bilge pumps? Did you fill them with mineral oil? I am only a novice and want to find a starting point.

Thanks,

Brian

Thanks thegadgetguy. I will take a look at the threads. Any further info you can share will be helpful, such as Manufacturer, gpm rating, etc. thanks. I will let you and the forum know what I find.

Thanks,

Brian

Why can't you use the bilge pump as is, just attach a propeller to the shaft? The bilge pumps are meant to be submerged, but I agree the question is, how deep can you go?

I am interested in building thrusters that can go up to 150 feet deep and powered using copper wire.

Thanks,

Brian

Dear Forum,

Does anyone know how to display GPS coordinates on a monitor or TV screen? Do you need a computer interface, such as a laptop to do this?

Thanks,
