  1. 🌊🦑 Sperm #whales consume massive amounts of colossal #squid, but we have rarely seen these giant #animals alive in the deep #ocean.

    Researchers are now using environmental #DNA to identify species by filtering genetic material directly from seawater samples. The process helps track known animals and search for unknown organisms.

  2. Lots of stuff in the latest @rpimag my bits are an article on getting started adding hardware to the #PicoCalc as well as the first of two parts tinkering on a larger underwater vehicle! #rov As an unexpected bonus the mighty Rob Miles has written an article about writing @FreeCAD macros with #python. As a shameless act of self preservation.. do consider a subscription (excellent Xmas gift) as it helps keep us writers employed!

  3. Just submitted part one of two of a larger budget underwater rover build to @rpimag Seems a good time to also say that issue 157 with the #opensource TOUV palm sized #rov project is now available as a free download! magazine.raspberrypi.com/issue

  4. Violent testing of a thruster for the larger underwater #ROV project... deffo some speed control needed, possibly redesign the prop with a lower pitch!

  5. Been designing a few more parts for the larger underwater #rov today. Also took this picture showing the small #TOUV rov I made (in this months @rpimag ) in comparison to the new larger one! #submersible #FreeCADFriday Happy weekend everyone!

  10. So I'm working on a larger underwater #ROV project. This morning a little job was to design a clamp to clamp some larger floatation tube sections to the smaller tubular chassis sections. Perfect little job for #FreeCAD and #3Dprinting.

  11. Just blogged about this fabulous #rp2350 #opensource controller system that @steamengineers built in response to my little Tiny Opensource Underwater Vehicle (TOUV) project. It's amazing when people get excited about stuff you make, and then respond by making something excellent that makes the whole project better! The little palm sized TOUV submarine is featured in this months @rpimag issue ICYMI. #underwater #rov #madewithfreecad #kicad

  12. This #FreeCADFriday I wanted to show off this assembly I made. It's a #Seaperch underwater #ROV chassis. The Seaperch design is regularly used in education/academic underwater challenges and I wanted to be able to model custom bits to the (made from PVC) tube frame. I only had to model 3 parts (including a parametric tube) so I could then use the newer Assembly workbench to put this all together. #CAD #STEM #STEAM

  13. Ah, sadness: the one time I actually need it (surveying boat keels for an upcoming co-op purchase), my chasing dory underwater drone seems to have fully died. I plugged it in to charge and it does not accept the charge - seems to be fully dead. I got a few good uses out of it, but alas, I don't know if I can repair it.

  14. And whilst I'm talking about #opensource hardware.. I've got a repo set up for the #TOUV (Tiny Opensource Underwater Vehicle). Documentation is lacking but if anyone is desperate to build one just chat to me in the meantime! I'll also have a tiny amount of kits for them @lpoolmakefest with a fair wind! Repo is here github.com/concretedog/Tiny-Op

    And if you dunno what this is... it't this super cute little underwater thang! #opensource #oshw #rov

  19. Following yesterdays tiny clip of the Tiny Opensource Underwater Vehicle (TOUV-!) I've just posted a blog including a longer 1 minute clip of various underwater manoeuvres! Tis my first upload to @MakerTube also where I'll be posting any video content to from now on. #makertube #opensource #3dprinting #rov #making concretedog.blogspot.com/2025/

  20. Writing up my Tiny Opensource (released soon!) Underwater Vehicle (TOUV1) project for future @rpimag. Using a #Pico to control speed and direction of the thrusters. Today is "use a very secondhand inflatable hot tub as a test environment"! #making #cute #rov #opensource #3dprinting #freecad

  21. A decade ago I was totally inspired by Barry from Dark Water Foundation who ran a supercool workshop at @lpoolmakefest where you could build a tiny little underwater #ROV with Lego. Just this week the synapses have fired to recreate it in a 3D printable version! Early testing is good! #3Dprint #MadeWithFreeCAD #mayke

  22. When a #ROV is out in the deep sea, it can sometimes take weeks for samples and data to reach the home labs ⏱️This will now change with the new MARUM-QUEST 5000 robot. Read more about the new tech co-developed with MPI Bremen here ➡️marum.de/en/Diving-robot-live-

  23. First Confirmed Footage of a #ColossalSquid—and it’s a Baby!

    "The 30-centimeter juvenile #squid was captured on video at a depth of 600 meters by the #ROV #SuBastian. The sighting occurred on March 9 on an expedition near the #SouthSandwichIslands in the South Atlantic Ocean."

    [anecdotally, I have experienced this scuba diving in a drysuit in WA and BC, especially in freshwater, so it is wonderful to see some background]

  25. A Crew Was Searching For Shipwrecks In Lake Michigan—But They Found Something Completely Different

    “ • A survey of Lake Michigan located at least 40 large craters on the lakebed.
    • Initial studies highlighted the spots as unknown shapes, but additional research revealed the craters are filled with marine life.
    • Researchers expect to investigate further, seeing how these craters formed and if they’re really sinkholes…"

  27. Scientists Discover Healthy #DeepSea #Coral Reef and New #Seamounts in the Galápagos schmidtocean.org/healthy-deep-

    "#Scientists examining underwater cliff ecosystems onboard #ResearchVessel #Falkor (too) using #ROV #SuBastian, have discovered 2 pristine #CoralReefs in the waters surrounding the #Galápagos. These newly identified #ColdWaterReefs are situated at depths ranging from 370 to 420 meters. The discovery expands our understanding of #DeepReefs within the #GalápagosIslandsMarineReserve"
