my first year as an ROV pilot tech II i made $2K/week. depending how much you work depends on your pay, and what kind of bonuses your company gives out. Guys working there over 2+ Years were making close $100K with their bonus. Supervisors about $125K. Usually took 3-5 years to make supervisor
the first ROV was developed in 1953
8.00 per hour
ROV stands for "Remote Operated Vehicle". ROV's are not submarines by definition, since they are robots controlled by tether, by an operator stationed on a support vessel.
To improve location efforts for ship/plane/equipment salvage. It's much more cost effective and safer to locate something that's lost with an ROV than it is to put hardhat divers in the water for the same purpose. ROV's also have a much greater depth range and time at depth than divers do for search purposes.
ROV means remotely operated underwater vehicle, so the pilot isn't in the machine. The pilot is sitting at a control panel on a ship nearby.
Figure out the weight of the device (ROV, submarine,etc), and then the weight of the water displaced. When they are equal, the device is neutrally buoyant. However, usually engineers create a ROV with a slightly positive or negative bouyancy, personally I perfer a positivly buoyant ROV because if you lose power or the tether is cut the ROV will ascend back up to the top. A more simple answer is that when the gravity & buoyancy are equal it is neutrally buoyant
Remotely operated vehicle
The deepest ROV has been down to depths of around 6Km or 3.75 miles.
The ROV in the movie The Abyss was a Mini Rover ROV which was designed and built by Chris Nicholson of Deep Sea Systems in Falmouth, MA in 1984. It was 26 inches long and weighed 55 pounds. The Mini Rover ROV was the world's first small, low cost ROV. Its original price was about $28,000 at a time when the next lowest cost ROV was priced at $100,000.
According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, the 2010 national mean annual wage for sewing machine operators was $22,630. Embroidery machine operators were included in this group.
NO
not much, averages about $15/h for a licensed mechanic, compared to some factory semi-skilled machine operators that make $17-$18 an hour
