  • Source umbilical cable without functioning power cables
    Patent number: 9377550
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to the operation of a source umbilical cable without functioning power cables from the source umbilical cable. Techniques are disclosed relating to a source umbilical cable without a power cable (e.g., a cable configured or operable to supply electrical power), and an apparatus that includes a geophysical signal source (e.g., a seismic signal source) with an electrical power generating component. The apparatus may, in one embodiment, include a geophysical signal source with a local generator configured to supply electrical power to electrical components of the geophysical signal source. In another embodiment where the geophysical signal source is being towed behind a vessel, a generator of the geophysical signal source may generate and supply electrical power based on motion of the generator through a body of water.
