"LI-Fe (lithium iron) chemistry. Lighter and good power curve. Likes cold too."
"I have been using life batteries in my USV. Best reason to do so is you can get them on a commercial flight without problems. I had custom packs made, this allowed for smaller form factor in the battery box. This is important when the USV is toted…"
"If you go with active feedback then all you need is a 3P rectifier and a filter cap to convert back to DC. As the voltage drops the feedback loop "speeds up" the ESC and the Subsea output goes up. Very simple feedback. Converse when the DC voltage…"
"Tom,
Correct MATE Explorer class is allowed 48Vdc with current limit for power through the tether.
Ranger is limited to 12Vdc.
I have been working on Matt to allow AC in the tether circuit but limit it to 36v and apply a current limit as well,…"

"Good success with very long power delivery using Variable frequency 3 phase AC with active feedback.

MATE is a program where a wide range of students design, build and compete at regional and international competitions.
I have been working with this program for over 5 years now in various capacities.…"
