Elektromotooride

Elektromotooride is a term referring to the electric motors used in electrochemical propulsion systems for underwater vehicles, particularly in advanced remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). These motors are designed to provide efficient, high-torque performance in high-current, low-speed applications typical of underwater operations.

In an elektromotooride system, electrical energy is used to drive the motor, which generates propulsion through electrochemical reactions involving species such as hydrogen peroxide or other electrolytes. These systems are often employed in ROVs and AUVs due to their compactness, reliability, and quiet operation. Quiet operation is a significant advantage in underwater environments, where noise from propellers or other mechanical systems can compromise mission success.

Elektromotooride systems typically consist of a bus, motor coils, and electrolyte flow cells. The bus is responsible for managing the flow of electrical current to the motor, while the motor coils convert the electrical energy into motion. The electrolyte flow cells generate the necessary electrochemical propulsion by converting chemical energy into mechanical force.

Compared to traditional propellers or thrusters, elektromotooride systems offer improved performance in terms of efficiency, controllability, and power density. They are also relatively simple and compact, which is beneficial in shipboard and submersible applications where space constraints are significant. Developments in this area have contributed to advances in underwater sensing, surveying, and research operations.
