What I’m curious about is what the weights are made of. If they plan to send down multiple drones to map the ocean, and each drone drops those weights to return to the surface every time, then I hope those weights are eco-friendly because there’s no retrieving them.
Lol I'm glad I'm not the only one with this question, I already posted my comment about it before I saw this.. I hope it's made out of a dissolve-able material.. that wouldn't bother the eco. :/
It's a pretty cool concept, but what I don't like is that you drop the weights so the vehicle can surface, and you just leave the weights on the bottom of the ocean floor. That is very counterproductive, you should leave no trace behind.
Good mission. But concerned about each time goes in each robot has to drop some heavy waste into those never explored areas of deep ocean. Are they biodegradable? Is it possible to find a way to use recyclable ones or design some other biodegradable mechanisms or use extra fans.
What retrieves the weights y'all leave behind? o.O Or is the weights made out of a dissolve-able material? How do you decide where to drop them? Are the images you receive realtime or you only get them when you bring the equipment back to the surface; in order to know where to drop them? I really hope they aren't effecting anything when they drop from the equipment... @_@
When this little robot gets to mars, he is gonna be able to sing happy birthday with the rover. *the rover sings happy birthday to itself on its birthday*
So why do you have to drop weights to come back up? Could releasing a gas into a pouch or something like that work? Or would that just take an insane amount of gas to counter the pressure?
The gas would have to go down separately somehow, or else it would be counteracting the weight of the bot from the start. The weights are an easy way for the bot to go down and then become suddenly lighter.
@@OceanX But the gas will only create buoyancy if it takes up a lot of space. If it is compressed into a canister thus not creating too much buoyancy then it should work if you release the gas into an inflatable pocket then it should allow it to surface.
@@TheAgentTexas One advantage of the weights is they will rust off on their own and let the Orpheus return to surface if for some reason there's a fault.
@@OceanX Hmmm, so the iron weights will rust away, but wouldn't that be bad for the ocean environment (of course a small fraction of the garbage that is already being put into the ocean, but could be harmful non the less)? When iron oxidizes is there a natural process that will recycle the oxidized iron? Also, I'm still curious about the gas. I'm sure there is a great answer to why it doesn't use gas, but if the curator of the channel doesn't know the technical answer then that's completely fine. Thanks for humoring me with this discussion btw.
@@TheAgentTexas Good point on all fronts. As @OceanX had mentioned, the weights can be released when the vehicle has completed it's mission or as a passive release if all else fails. If the system dies, for whatever reason, corrodible links will break allowing the weights to fall, in turn making the vehicle buoyant enough to come to the surface. You make a great point about the canister and we have done similar things on other vehicles! Depending on the pressures the vehicle will experience, gas may not be the best option, but using something nearly incompressible, like mineral oil, to increase or decrease the vehicle volume using a solid volume(canister) and a soft volume(some sort of pocket) is a great way to trim buoyancy.
I've been saying for yrs, we can go to the moon,mars etc..... but can't reach the bottom of the ocean on our own planet. I wanted to see more of this exploration.
This mission, this project, is so very cool!!! Perhaps now we can find the lost city/continent of Atlantis! Also: does anyone have a link to the song used at the very end of this video?? That is a cool piece of music!
Isn’t it a bad idea dropping the weights permanently to the sea floor without a recovery plan in order? Otherwise the future will behold a sea floor littered with weights.
I'm wondering if we could invent some way to ascend to surface without droping weights as a waste to ocean. Seems to me not so ecological in the long run. Or at least make some weight compositon that would disintegrate fast enough.
You had me till you said "Dropping the weights." Considering you want to have fleets of these things, I don't know if I like the idea of a bunch of robots taking a dump on the ocean floor for the sake of graph pictures.
Neznisgip They are referencing the moons of other planets. For instance, one of Jupiter’s moons, Europa, is thought to have a liquid water ocean underneath it’s icy crust. NASA JPL has plans for a submarine which would explore this foreign ocean
Mapping, yer right, its communication, and placing and recovering acoustic modems, for security purposes, amorously blowing unauthorized vessels out of the water. and claims of mineral resources, and so on.
Some random dragon fish is going to be swimming around minding it's own business and it's going to bump into one of these drones and go "what the fuck is this abomination?"
Maybe it was just stress & nerves from then launching their first run but the whole vibe & aura I got from these people were just kinda off. Hard to put my finger on it. However I find deep sea exploration way more interesting & exciting than outer space.... the creatures & life that have been found already are fascinating & mindblowing. I really wish we'd put more money & time into ocean exploration.
Jay Awesome you know i was thinking that too. However, I’m not sure if it’s meant like that for a purpose, especially when they said the machine would have to drop weights to come back to the surface. A smaller machine would not have as much weight but I’m not an engineer so lol
Really hope those weights were inexpensive like concrete, it'd be an absolute shame if they were made of something we can't fabricate or has a finite supply like a metal.
Hi Vee. All in all very few weights are dropped in the life span of the vehicle. The only thing dropped are steel slugs which will rust away, and we always abide by any regulations in areas such as marine sanctuaries, etc. I love your concern though! Keep our oceans clean:)
@@mollycurran5560 i'm super excited!!! thank ou for this :) im just starting my career with chemical engineering but hopefully i'll get in line towards exploration (industry) :D keep up the good work!
@Neso That is super exciting that you are interested in naval architecture and building deep sea robots!! I assume you have a few more years of high-school? Keep working hard in your STEM classes! Take every opportunity to get experience - Whether its a tour, an online seminar, a talk with an engineer - And if you get the chance, try to get the opportunity to work or shadow an engineer or someone who does what you want to do, even if its only a few hours a month. Keep working hard and it will pay off :)
There is no ocean floor. The ocean is eternal. The "floor is dirt that can no longer go deeper due to the waters pressure. The solar system is also a vast ocean
Tv news aired in the late 80’s that entire sea floor had been discovered. Nothing down there was no longer a mystery they said. I was only in grammar school but I waited for footage and reports to follow and were still waiting. Now in 2020 it’s like we are supposed to believe they are just now developing tech to accomplish this.
Instead of spending trillions of dollars on wars, whether china, Russia or USA; imagine if we spent on science and technology. Not only we will progress and be stronger, it'll actually reduce wars
You guys are doing a great job to end with all the flat-Earthers... Can you imagine releasing a 3D model of the ocean floor to scale? They would go nuts!
Shape the ocean drone like a fish. Just like we took the anatomy of a bird and created mechanical flight, take deep sea life by their shape and anatomy to sustain weight and pressure +
plss how can we know the anatomy and the shape of a creature that can live so far down that we dont know anything about ...... and you saying we should make uboat that are shapes like fish? XDXDXD
One day we might even explore our own ocean after the solar systems, why do we even call it the solar system anymore,. Why not just.. space,. Anything to further the little box, you wanna put us in big man
Love this deep exploration were going through, one day we'll be able to map the ocean floor in highres VR.
it's amazing to think this type of robot will one day explore the oceans of Enceladus and/or Titan. Far out maaaaaaaan
Not sure about titan but I'm confident in Europa.
My dream to see the deepest part of the ocean , so much we don’t know, what a time
I am so proud of the scientist that keep pushing for these new advancements and with all my heart. I say THANK YOU!
Wow, I'm excited for the future ❤

Thats so cool, proud of these wonderful people
What if one day we discovered those rumors of Megalodon and Mermaids are real. Imagine seeing their empire down the ocean.
Damn that's amazing. Great video, very cinematic. And great work, it's crazy how deep the ocean is
TUKMAK and the cool thing is we really don’t know how deep it is
It's a pretty cool concept, but what I don't like is that you drop the weights so the vehicle can surface, and you just leave the weights on the bottom of the ocean floor. That is very counterproductive, you should leave no trace behind.

excellent work. all the best
we humans out here tryna explore outer space before we even know our own planet
Wow this must be the best job in the world. What could be better than scanning and learning our own habitat to explore all the things we do not know
Exciting. Head down to Mcmurdo Sound Antartica tofly over Shackelton's boat, once crushed in ice. Bon Voyage from New Zealand.

So everytime this robot is coming back up you drop metal weights to the ground. Why not just install 4 other fans to dive down or up?
Because of the amount of energy required to power the propellers, and the spectrum of potential problems that could occur from utilizing them.
A ballast system wold be hard because you'd need ginormous air tanks for the ballast tanks to compensate with the external force of the hadal zone.
Which is why the robot most likely has its small ballast tanks already pressurized so it can rise once the weights are realized.
I've been saying for yrs, we can go to the moon,mars etc..... but can't reach the bottom of the ocean on our own planet. I wanted to see more of this exploration.
well space ain't got alot of pressure as depthest of ocean floor
So beautiful!
So amazing cant wait see more keep up good work and thank u for sharing with the world
Wow deep sea exploration
Like searching for a new world 😮👍👍
This mission, this project, is so very cool!!! Perhaps now we can find the lost city/continent of Atlantis! Also: does anyone have a link to the song used at the very end of this video?? That is a cool piece of music!
Throughout the solar system yet we havent discovered half the shit from our own planet
Isn’t it a bad idea dropping the weights permanently to the sea floor without a recovery plan in order? Otherwise the future will behold a sea floor littered with weights.
What are the weights you need to drop made of?
Congratulations... THIS IS WHAT MAKES AMERICA TRULY GREAT 👍

Well I'd guess this is concrete of some sort. It falls to the ground and, over time, turns into smaller and smaller pieces, finally sand.
@@WoodenWeaponry the ocean floor is generally living. There has got to be a better way than dropping crap into the ocean.
@@NinjaOnANinja Maybe a pressure vesselthat expands into a kind of high pressure ballon
@@WoodenWeaponry yeah, the question is the mechanics. I dont think a balloon would survive but it's a start
Amazing...damn space I wanna know more about the ocean floor
EXACTLY WTH!
I'm going to weep tears of joy if this machine manages to find some organism in the waters of another planet
So much more of our own oceans and seas still need exploring
We can get this done! We are the Jet Propulsion Lab. More duct tape! 3:04

I don’t mean to be rude or something but what has it to do with the solar system?
They should really focus on making the tech smaller because it would have a better chance to survive the journey goin deeper

how much is this drone? I want to buy one..make it mass production in millions and make it affordable like dji
