RE: [PSUBS-MAILIST] topic change thining mineral oil and blueview

Hello all sorry for the delay we have been right out straight after the AUV recovery getting things back up on line for our job, thanks everyone for the info on mineral oil I have ordered a 5 gallon pail of it and hope it will be here today, also the blue view sonar works great I will upload some snapshots later today of the blueview in action the night we did the AUV recovery we had company out there, there was an 11 foot shark swimming within 5 feet of our divers we did not see until after the AUV was on the boat but you can see it on the blueview plain as day and in review of all the footage you can see him swimming all over in all the sonar is a great tool well worth the money

The snapshot below is after we backed away from the AUV the divers had just hook a line to it at a depth of about 30 feet and we are looking down now the divers won’t do any more night dives this was at 3am I will upload more pictures to the website later today

Brian I don't know anything about the mineral oil, but

Can you give me an idea how your Blue view sonar is performing.

I really would like to know of it's capabilities.

Hello everyone

Just a quick question for the group what is the best way if any to thin down mineral oil without changing its non conductive properties I flooded a motor on the ROV during the rescue of the bluefin AUV last week and they use an oil that is thinner than mineral oil but state that you can use mineral oil I want to try and match the viscosity as close as possible since I cant get support from the MFG Cyvect I have called and sent emails no go any halp would be greatly appreciated
