HOW DO RADIO CONTROLLED (RC) SUBMARINES WORK ?

HOW DO RADIO CONTROLLED (RC) SUBMARINES WORK ?
Matt kindly runs me through how his HMS Upholder radio controlled submarine works. The shell for this RC submarine is made by OTW Designs (otwdesigns.com/) in Loughborough which is run by Bob Dimack. He tells me about how it dives and surfaces, the propulsion and control systems. Impressed by the clean installation of all the gear. It made it easy to understand the function of all the components.

I've loved submarines since I was a child, and my dream was to always have a RC one, but they didn't exist. I'm very surprised and happy to discover that they exist now, and they are even capable of great actions, they're complex inside! Omg, wonderful. I'm so happy to have discovered this video

@J0hnnieP 4 роки тому

RC Submarines raises the complexity of RC vehicles by a huge factor. I don't think many people realize just how complex they are or what goes into building or using one.

Stevie D I haven't had a sub but I did fly helis and quadcopter for a bit, the amount of props and blades you chew through in urban areas was a pain, plus the larger helis are really quite pricey for good ones. I'd imagine the running cost of a sub would be a bit less, construction likely about the same. Micro helis can be fairly cheap though and IMO the best way to learn since they are also not nearly as dangerous as the larger ones.

@SidecarHero1 4 роки тому

You've apparently have never built and flown a helicopter.

@stanleycorr1839 4 роки тому

Well... I mean it's really cool but not what I'd call complicated. A pump, three servos, a basic gyro and a motor. Doesn't even have independent vanes for roll dampening and the main hull isn't water/pressure resistant. Have you seen a flybarless aerobatic heli? Or even a scale multi-mast RC sailing boat? That shit is what I'd call complicated. If this was more realistic with a full pressure hull and multiple ballast tanks and pumps to adjust trim and video back to goggles or a laptop to about 20 meters or further with a long aerial with a float then I'd say it was reasonably complex.

When I was a kid growing up on the lake, I had always wanted to build a Rc sub with a camera on it so I could look at the fish. There was something fascinating to me about being able to see under the water in which I spent my whole day on fishing. Unfortunately, at that time I don't think there was enough technology do make one unless it had wires attached and I certainly didn't have access to the materials to make one. When I see this, it amazes me. Takes me back to my childhood dream. Someday, I just may still build one now that I have the funds and access to what I need. Very nice sub there! Thank you for the video.

@pauliether.c.guy.3349 4 роки тому

Absolutely amazing. This guy not only demonstrates how a real submarine works between the leveling planes working in tandem with how the ballast Tanks flood in order in submerge it but he was also able to seal everything in an airtight enclosure. This submarine is no kids toy this is an advanced piece of technology that took a tremendous amount of knowledge. Hats off to you. I am wondering how much money something like that goes for.

I saw (and took pics) of the HMCS Chicoutimi in Halifax dry dock back in 2005, due to that unfortunate "leaving the hatch open" during sea-faring operations. Nice to see this model is a bit more watertight then the real one. Fantastic engineering on the model Matt C - you should be proud!

@onyourkilllist6880 4 роки тому

Mike TeeVee That’s not what happened. Submariners don’t just “leave hatches open”. That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard. Not sure who told you that story, but they’re an idiot. The boat was submerged and at PD when the fire happened. No hatch was left open.

@techfriends9620 3 роки тому

That was beautiful. The main problem is that RF does not work underwater. And hence, we didn't see it going completely inside. At least the receiver end should stay above water.

@SuperAntec 3 роки тому

Lower frequency radio does work underwater, the sub use 40mhz FM frequency and the sub does fully submerge.

@jimbronson687 2 роки тому

This is very cool. Was not aware of RC subs. Could use underwater digital acoustic modems if wanted to mount a camera and have control deep down. And desquise as a Shark sometimes for a fun time. very best RC sub I ever saw.

@CJOlin 11 місяців тому

Your comment was great, until the shark comment. You must be one of those people that enjoys scaring people for your own gratification. That's called being narcissistic. I'd bet you wouldn't think it's funny to have one of your own family members in the water and have a (potential) shark come close to them and frighten them. Then again, you probably would. Anyone else would be pissed to find out it's someone like you with a radio controlled shark, who just scared their family, as a joke. Especially, if they were older and had health issues where it could be dangerous to them.
