Radio Controlled Water Sampling Buoy.
Abstract
This report describes a specially designed ocean surface sampling buoy that is operated by remote control. A four-channel radio transmitter and receiver is used with additional electronics to operate this buoy at approximately 1000 yards. The buoy has a capacity for collecting up to 18 liters of surface water. A method of deploying the buoy from a small boat is discussed along with a flash bulb triggering system that gave a very high efficiency rating. (Author)
