摘要： A modular underwater vehicle includes a hull having a series of modular sections, defining an interior housing, a propulsor coupled to a stern of the hull, a series of control surfaces coupled to the propulsor or the stern of the hull, and a power supply, a processor, and a nonvolatile memory device in the interior housing. The nonvolatile memory device has instructions stored therein which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to supply power from the power supply to drive the propulsor and to actuate the plurality of control surfaces. At least one modular section of the series of modular sections is detachable.

摘要： The present disclosure discloses a device and a method for converting reciprocating motion into continuous rotation, and application includes: a central shaft and rotating discs, each rotating disc is connected to the central shaft through a bearing, the rotating disc is arranged concentrically with the bearing, wings are arranged on a circumference of rotating disc, upper wing surfaces of the wings are of convex structures. According to the device for converting reciprocating motion into continuous rotation of the present disclosure, the rotating directions of the wings can be kept unchanged all the time during the reciprocating motion of the device by using airfoil structures of the wings in the device and limiting mounting angles of the wings, so as to obtain a continuous lifting force with a constant direction.

摘要： An autonomous underwater vehicle includes a vehicle body controlled by a processor. An anchor joined to a tether is disposed in the vehicle. The vehicle has control surfaces for maneuvering, a propulsion unit, and a turbine. The propulsion unit and turbine generate thrust to propel the vehicle. A power source provides power to the vehicle. The turbine is further joined to a generator. When the processor detects that the power source is below a threshold value, the propulsion unit is stopped, the anchor is deployed, and the control surfaces are operated to move the vehicle in a predetermined trajectory through a fluid stream of the environment restrained by the tether. The fluid stream causes rotation of the turbine and generator to recharge the power source.

摘要： An underwater vehicle for performing a variety of linear motions and turning motions with better stability and agility is disclosed. The underwater vehicle includes a main body, a front-drive mechanism, a rear-drive mechanism, and a steering assembly. The main body has a front end and a rear end, which defines a longitudinal axis extending from the front end to the rear end of the main body. The front-drive mechanism is connected to the main body to provide a forward propelling force in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis. The steering assembly is fixed to the rear end and coupled to the rear-drive mechanism. The steering assembly is configured to rotate the rear-drive mechanism with respect to the longitudinal axis by a body angle for providing a lateral force on the main body.

摘要： System of unmanned underwater vehicles with multiple variable-geometry internally pressurized flexible hulls (that enable the underwater vehicle to submerge/emerge and change submersion depth by varying hull's buoyancy and not the vehicle weight) and possibly at least one pressure hull housing e.g. accumulators and electronic steering system. Each flexible hull is composed of a number of flexible hull segments modules.

摘要： A deep-ocean polymetallic nodule collector is an apparatus that is used to harvest polymetallic nodules and other natural resources from the ocean floor. To do so, the apparatus includes a support frame and a collection mechanism. The support frame is a durable structure designed to withstand the harsh deep-ocean conditions. The support frame keeps the collection mechanism adjacent to the ocean floor for the mining of polymetallic nodules without damage to the underwater ecosystem. In addition, the support frame allows for attachment of mining support vehicles that support the operation of the apparatus. The mining support vehicles can include, but are not limited to, cabled vehicles which are connected to the surface for power, monitoring, and control, wireless submersible vehicles, or ocean-bottom based vehicles that can operate autonomously, semi-autonomously, or by remote control. The collection mechanism enables the collection of polymetallic nodules while minimizing the damage to the underwater ecosystem.
