Sub-sea Location Beacon - Subsea location beacon designed for Tritech International Ltd during my time working for System Technologies. The beacon would be fixed to subsea equipment and would aid location of equipment both on the seabed and the surface. The beacon also has a mechanical pressure switch in the top of it that will allow the beacon only to operate when less than 10m from the surface, this function was for energy conservation. The Beacon is waterproof to 1km below sea level.
Pan & Tilt Sonar - This is a pan & tilt sonar unit designed for BNFL ltd during my time at System Technologies. It's function was to monitor Uranium stored in large pools of water. The sonar head would be driven by the pan & tilt mechanism to point in any downwards direction slowly building up a 3D image of what was below. Due to the harshness of this environment most of this was made from NC machined PEEK parts.
Diver communications module prototype - This was an early prototype housing for a diver to surface communications system designed for a leading UK defence contractor during my time at System Technologies. This unit would clip on to the diver's belt and would allow them to switch between the surface and other divers in the water. The housing was water proof to 100m.
Solidworks 3D Model
Diver communications module - This was the final design for the diver communication module. The housing was machined from Aluminium and then Anodised. Userability for this product was paramount with there being no importance placed on aesthetics. This is a covert military defence product.
Diver to surface communications system - This the full system that was given to the client. The main box would be stored on the ship all the time and the communications units on the side would be docked here for recharging. The diver would have 2 units on them and the other unit would be located on a RIB on the surface.
