High Aspect Ratio Carbon Nanotube Membranes Decorated with Pt Nanoparticle Urchins for Micro Underwater Vehicle Propulsion via H2O2 Decomposition.
The utility of unmanned micro underwater vehicles (MUVs) is paramount for exploring confined spaces, but their spatial agility is often impaired when maneuvers require burst-propulsion. Herein we develop high-aspect ratio (150:1), multiwalled carbon nanotube microarray membranes (CNT-MMs) for propulsive, MUV thrust generation by the decomposition of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2). The CNT-MMs are gro...
متن کاملZwitterionic amidinates as effective ligands for platinum nanoparticle hydrogenation catalysts.
Ligand control of metal nanoparticles (MNPs) is rapidly gaining importance as ligands can stabilize the MNPs and regulate their catalytic properties. Herein we report the first example of Pt NPs ligated by imidazolium-amidinate ligands that bind strongly through the amidinate anion to the platinum surface atoms. The binding was established by 15N NMR spectroscopy, a precedent for nitrogen ligan...
متن کاملUnmanned aerial vehicle as communication relay for autonomous underwater vehicle - Field tests
This paper describes field experiments with an X8 Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) operating as a wireless communication relay while loitering over a REMUS 100 Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) being at the ocean surface. The paper describes the design of the communication relay payload, network configuration, optimal flight conditions and UAV antenna mounting, and experimental results. Experime...
متن کاملAn Autonomous Navigation System for Unmanned Underwater Vehicle
Autonomous underwater vehicles should possess intelligent control software that performs intellectual functions such as cognition, decision and action, which originally belong to the ability of domain expert, since the unmanned underwater robot is required to navigate in hazardous environments where humans do not have direct access to. In this paper, we suggest an intelligent system architectur...
متن کاملIntelligent Navigation for a Solar Powered Unmanned Underwater Vehicle
In this paper, an intelligent navigation system for an unmanned underwater vehicle powered by renewable energy and designed for shadow water inspection in missions of a long duration is proposed. The system is composed of an underwater vehicle, which tows a surface vehicle. The surface vehicle is a small boat with photovoltaic panels, a methanol fuel cell and comm...
