Field testing the Putty Depth Logger with SCUBA and an ROV
This thing is working great! After a few more experiments with the assembled logger, I decided to take it on a real dive. Some friends and I were going SCUBA diving in Monterey, so I just stashed t...
First in-water test of Putty Depth Logger
It worked! I was able to record pressure and temperature data at the bottom of a swimming pool using electronics fully encapsulated in a shear-thickening putty inside a 3D-printed enclosure.With he...
Experimental System #1: Internally-mounted pressure sensor logger
A responsible first experiment to do with my shear-thickening potting concept would probably have involved putting pieces of water-detection paper in various locations inside some putty potted 3D p...
Two Hot Birds with One Cool Stone
As I prepare to dive into the world of using non-Newtonian fluids as a reworkable potting material for marine electronics, one of the key challenges I’m looking at is the thermal insulation of the ...
I’m excited to have launched this project on Experiment! The idea of using shear-thickening materials to waterproof electronics is one I’ve been exploring for years.
