With 2 vertical
thrusters, the ACROV
can be tilted for complete
camera manipulation. The
controller is 1 handed, 100% intuitive and palm
sized. The Videoray and
Seabotix LBV have tilting
cameras, so flight and camera control is two
handed.
Shaft mounted thrusters are easily jammed with weed and line.

VideoRay ROV's cannot fly sideways or hold in a side current. The LBV side area is twice its frontal area, and with only a single lateral
thruster its sideways current holding capability is about 25% of its forward
capability. The AC-ROV has equal Fwd, Aft and Lateral side thrust.
Thrust Factor
(approx) = Effective Thruster Area (TA)
DIVIDED by the vehicle area presented to the
flow. Thrusters without nozzles OR with guarded
nozzles; Reduce TA by
25%. Thrusters with less than 100% clear, inline
and fully open flow path within 6 times their
diameter; Reduce TA by
25%. correct TA proportional to vector in flow direction. |
