Abstract

The generator device is proposed for seabed survey, comprising a generator line, including electrodes, a hoist, hydraulic pump, air compressor, and at least one hose joined to the generator line, situated optionally inside or outside the line. The hose includes a through hydro-channel therein, a stationary end connected to the pump or alternatively to the compressor, and a running end furnished with a discharge valve. Connecting to the compressor ensures positive floatation of the generator line, whereas connecting to the pump ensures negative floatation thereof. In preferred embodiments, the device comprises a hydraulic clutch and a faucet. The hose communicates with the pump and compressor through the clutch and faucet, ensuring alternative communication of the hose's hydro-channel with water or air for filling thereof. The generator line comprises a dipole including one power braiding, and an initial part including two power braidings, the braidings are connected to the electrodes.

Claims (19)

1. A generator device for marine geophysical research comprising:

a generator line, including a shell and generator electrodes;

a hydraulic pump;

an air compressor;

at least one hose including

a stationary end connected essentially to the hydraulic pump and to the air compressor, and a running end furnished with a discharge valve;

a hydraulic clutch; and

a faucet;

wherein said at least one hose is joined with the hydraulic pump and the air compressor through the hydraulic clutch and the faucet, ensuring alternative communication of said at least one hose with water or air for filling thereof.

2. A generator device for marine geophysical research comprising:

a generator line, including a shell and generator electrodes;

a hydraulic pump;

an air compressor;

at least one hose along its length joined to the generator line, wherein said at least one hose including a stationary end connected essentially to the hydraulic pump and to the air compressor, and a running end furnished with a discharge valve;

a hydraulic clutch; and

a faucet;

wherein said generator line comprising—a dipole part including one power braiding, and—a beginning part including two power braidings; said dipole braiding and said beginning part braidings are connected to said generator electrodes.

3. The generator device according to claim 2 , wherein said braidings of the beginning part are situated concentrically.

4. The generator device according to claim 3 , wherein a number of additional hoses with discharge valves at their running ends are disposed between the power braidings of said beginning part, serving for withdrawal of excessive heat.
