On-Board Analytics
Processes acoustic, pressure, and magnetic sensor data locally during the run. Detects leaks, gas pockets, and structural anomalies in real-time without requiring a tether or live connection.
Self-contained acoustic and multi-spectral sensor spheres navigating pressurized water distribution networks without tethering, disruption, or flow stoppage.
Hardware Deep Dive
Tightly coupled modular hardware engineered for zero-failure autonomy in pressurized aquatic environments.
Ultra-low drag spherical chassis calibrated to match drinking water density with sub-gram precision. Free-swimming geometry navigates sharp elbows, half-closed gate valves, and pipe junctions without snagging.
Multi-axis omnidirectional acoustic pickup matrix with hardware-isolated vibration dampening, calibrated for instantaneous spatial beamforming to triangulate pinhole orifices down to 0.02 L/min.
Custom low-power silicon executing real-time on-device machine intelligence. Separates hydraulic cavitation and flow friction noise from genuine wall breaches with hardware cryptographic verification.
High-density solid electrolyte cells delivering continuous long-range power with rapid recharge cycling, zero thermal runaway risk, and integrated passive temperature equalization.
Pioneering Capabilities
Every component engineered from first principles to deliver uncompromising acoustic fidelity.
Processes acoustic, pressure, and magnetic sensor data locally during the run. Detects leaks, gas pockets, and structural anomalies in real-time without requiring a tether or live connection.
Integrated ultrasonic arrays and 3D magnetometers map pipeline wall thickness, identify micro-fractures, and monitor internal temperature gradients with sub-millimeter accuracy.
Housed in a chemical-resistant polyurethane shell and a liquid-tight aluminum alloy core. Engineered to withstand severe pipeline pressures, turbulent flows, and corrosive fluid environments.
Autonomous Operations
Purpose-built subsystems engineered for long-duration, non-intrusive pipeline exploration.
Utilizes extremely low frequency (ELF) transmitters and integrated acoustic pingers, allowing surface operators to reliably track the sphere's location through dense soil, rock, and thick steel walls.
Powered by a stacked arrangement of high-capacity cylindrical lithium-ion cells with adaptive power management, ensuring continuous, multi-day runtimes for inspecting hundreds of miles in a single pass.
Eliminates the need for complex, heavy launch and receive traps. The compact, modular design allows field teams to deploy and retrieve the tool through standard valve accesses in a fraction of the time.
Deploy autonomous acoustic spheres to detect pinhole leaks, assess wall degradation, and prevent pipeline bursts without interrupting drinking water service.
