UNDERWATER PROBE Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC G01S15/88 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: probe is made in form of a multiple-section container. Sections of the container are connected to each other by a threaded joint (7). The sections house program-control equipment (4), information-measuring equipment (5), a seismic module (2), a magnetotelluric measurement module (6) and a navigation module (3). The container is fitted with two electrical micromachines and horizontal and vertical tunnel propellers which form a propulsion module (1). The information-measuring equipment (5) includes a penetrometre, a spectrum analyser, a methane detector, a unit for hydrochemical measurements, a unit for optical measurements, a unit for detecting radioactive radiations, data coupled with the program-control equipment.

EFFECT: broader functionalities of the device and low labour input when making the device.
