  • Unmanned submersible vehicle with on-board generating capability
    Publication number: 20070022935
    Abstract: An unmanned submersible vehicle which has the capability to be remotely operated is powered by on on-board battery. The battery is recharged while the vehicle is operating by a turbine driven by the flow of water past the vehicle. The vehicle may also be coupled to a base station by a cable for control purposes. The cable is spooled on a cable spool mounted in or on the vehicle, so the vehicle unspools the control cable as the vehicle moves away from the base station.
