Hi I am considering a project to design a very simple underwater power
tool type device. The project is essentially very simple - and
consists of nothing much more than a basic electric motor, a
rechargeable battery and a gearing mechanism.
The problem is I'm not sure how I can make the recharging mechanism
for this work?
I mean, is there any way to come up with a recharging mechanism which
would not be affected by water? The power tool must be capable of
being quickly recharged, so that as soon as one takes it out of the
water you would need to begin recharging it pretty much immediately.
This needs to be very fast and easy to do - but at the moment I'm
finding it hard to imagine a mechanism which would not cause the
recharging points on the device to be shorted out if the device was
placed on the charger while wet.
The device would consume quite a lot of energy - probably equivalent
to a 12V power drill. (Although this project is not an attempt to
design an underwater power drill).
Has anyone here got any insight on this? Or perhaps you are interested
in helping out in order to help me build/market this device...?
Any input is welcome...
Kind regards,
GJ
