GNOM ROV
Remotely operated underwater vehicle GNOM is intended for inspection of underwater wrecks and other objects by videocamera.
The modern computer and telecommunication technologies are used in the device, and made it easy in handling, compact, light and inexpensive.
These solutions allowed to use thin (only 3 mm diameter) and flexible communication cable for transmission data, power and video signals to/from vehicle. The special Kevlar threads have been used to improve the cable's tensile strength. Because of this fact, the device keeps the highest degree of stabilization what is very important for inspections. The vehicle has a good maneuverability and can easily turn on the spot.
High-effective electric motors with magnetic couplings and hi-tech electronics are used in the vehicle, provide the fast speed of the GNOM with low power consumption.
One of the most important features of this device is a possibility to operate it from PC and via Lan/Internet.
