Frank,
Let me perfect this PVC housing thing with the help of our team first. I will be making a camera within this enclosure and a halogen lamp (71 watt) for installation aboard submarines that the owners have voluteered to be used as test beds.
I have a submariner who has stepped forward for the camera prototype...need any lamp units?
The way this works is this: I built the unit...you install this device aboard your submarine as you see fit for best functionality...You test this device in a real world environment and report how it performed...you keep the device as an addition to your submarine.
Psubs gains the "how to build" information and operational results from our combined efforts. Everyone wins.
So, need any lamps?

Hi David. Keep the good stuff coming. That's a nice little unit, and adaptable to several uses. Do you have any ideas on a small submersible electric motor case ? I saw a design a while back where a guy took a battery screw gun and used it with a threaded screw mechanism to operate a grabber hand for an arm. It wasn't sealed at all, but he said the motor was so cheap that when it fried, he just replaced the screw gun. The linkage was simple, and all home made with plexi sheet and threaded rod. If a good motor case could be fabricated cheaply, it could have many uses. Maybe even operate rudders. ( maybe not very quickly though.)
I like the hydrophone a lot. Good work. Frank D.
