Low-Energy Variable Buoyancy Engine (VBE) Pop-up System for autonomous underwater vertical motion
EF 2021-22 · 2021-06-14
Résumé
eSonar Inc. is developing a low energy Variable Buoyancy Engine (VBE) to allow sub-sea instrumentation to be moored with an always taut subsurface float so as to present minimal risk to species at risk such as marine mammals. The new technology will have the capability to make water column measurements and then autonomously pop-up to surface under microprocessor control, and remotely report readings by local RF or to satellite for cloud-based access.

The new technology will have the capability to make water column measurements and then autonomously pop-up to surface under microprocessor control, and remotely report readings by local RF or to satellite for cloud-based access.
Description (French)
eSonar Inc. est en train de mettre au point un moteur à flottabilité variable (MFV) à faible consommation d'énergie pour permettre l'amarrage d'instruments sous-marins à l'aide d'un flotteur subsurface toujours tendu, de manière à présenter un risque minimal pour les espèces à risque telles que les mammifères marins. La nouvelle technologie permettra d'effectuer des mesures dans la colonne d'eau, puis de remonter à la surface de manière autonome, sous le contrôle d'un microprocesseur, et de transmettre les relevés à distance par radiofréquence locale ou par satellite pour un accès en nuage.
