Abstract:
An electrical generator in a water impermeable housing is driven by a water driven motor. The combination can be submersed with power delivered from the generator to a hydro-subsystem. The system is intrinsically safe in that all electronics are submerged during operation, thus any sparks emitted will not trigger secondary explosions in the surrounding environment. The supply is particularly useful in conjunction with submersible, remotely operated vehicles (ROVs), and diver assist power supply.
