Hmmm, home made battery pack. Can you teach me how you made it.

Make it simple, make strong, make it work! -
If you succeed? That is laughable, I know you will get it to work. Shoot, inspire me more! I will play with this on a future sub. I was reading an older report from SC and there was an article about using a pump to use the pond water to lift the scopes up. Very cool work there Manfred. I am also interested in how you set up your batteries. It looks like 8 cells, wouldn't that be 9.6v?
Peace,

Manfred, thats perty smart. I reckon that you weren't born yesterday, thats for sure. What do you do for a living? Engineer I would wager.IT TAKES GREAT INTELLIGENCE TO FAKE SUCH STUPIDITY!Comment

Wow, it's getting busy at my thread, one at the time guys,
As for the batterypack, those are 6x AA Eneloop cells, packed into three rows of two, that's giving me 7,2 volts, actually the voltage will be higher when fully charged.
Building such a pack is easy, take some loose cells, connect them together with wire, and voila, you've got a battery pack custom made, this way i can play around with the position of each cell when needed.
The scope and snorkel are not completely finished, still working on that, so adding the pump allready is for the future, since this pump can both work on air or water i can go both ways.
Using water will give you a challence to get your boat nicely trimmed, adding the water for getting things up will be added to the balance, using air won't have that kind of problems, but creates new problems , i'll study both to see which one will be usable for me.
I'm a security engineer for my living, electronics and optics are in my fieldwork, mechanics is not one of them, but i like to design stuff and solve the problems which appear with such designs.
Some things can be build, other things not, or at least, not now.

The rear bulkhead is finished and tested, still have to build up the entire SD, and give it some rigurous testing,
Removed the fuse from the BEC circuit, since there is already a electronic safety inside against high currents, this rearpart is tested and paired with my Wfly transmittor.
All components together, ready to be assembled, once it has passed my testing i can start dryfitting it inside the hull, i'll have to split the hull for that, so i can adjust all rods to my needs, yet another unlucky advantedge using the vertical split, but wen it's done, it's done.
Let's get this beast alive!

Did some testing with the complete builded SD, and found me a error, duh, i must have been sleeping, i had to switch one servowire and it was solved.
Splitted the hull in half and shoved in the SD, still have to tinker with the connections in front, but the rearpart is in working order, enjoy the vid.

An excellent presentation there, Manfred. I hope you don't encounter the pitch-down problem I continue to have with mine. Get that sucker into the water, please!

David,
I've been talking to her, she won't do nosediving, if she does, i'll cut off her tale!, that will teach her!
Romel,
RIP:wink:
Tom,
The learningcurve for me is becoming steeper and steeper, god i love this!

Most of us avoid complexity and 'extra features'. Manfred, on the other hand, jumps in head first!
Ride 'em, Cowboy!
