Description: Development of an autonomous underwater vehicle - Hydrocopter - A systematic approach to effective low cost design, manufacture and testing of underwater vehicles by Rajendra Jani Underwater vehicle technology has been gaining inimportance in the last few years. Large sections ofthe earths oceans remain unexplored. The quest forenergy resources under the water has given an impetusto develop fast moving underwater vehicles capable oftraveling along a complex 3D trajectory. This bookdescribes the development of a small autonomousunderwater vehicle or AUV known as the Hydrocopterthat can mimic the motion of a helicopter. A modelwas constructed and tested in a deep water tank atMemorial University of Newfoundland, Canada.Normallythe development of a new idea can be an expensiveprocess with no guarantee of a successful outcome.However, by using available components a relativelyinexpensive model can be developed to test a concept.The book describes how off the shelf components canbe used to design and develop models which can beused to generate creative ideas and at the same beuseful in teaching practical engineering concepts.The book also explains control strategies employedfor the hydrocopter.
